This Anglo-French rivalry was a politico-economic conflict for preeminence fought on a global scale and it reached a zenith in 1806-1808 with France's apparent dominance of Continental Europe. Britain reacted swiftly and decisively to implement maritime-based strategies to limit French military and commercial gains in Europe, while protecting British overseas interests. The policy is particularly evident in relations with Britain's 'Ancient Ally': Portugal and, by association, her South American empire, which became the front line in the battle between Napoleon's ambitions and British maritime security.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShedding new light on British war aims and maritime strategy, this is an essential work for scholars of the Napoleonic Wars and British political, diplomatic, economic and maritime\/military history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Robson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350165638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350165632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Martin Robson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941177491711,"sku":"9781350165632","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e4a4d1fd-c25d-4c40-b689-9a5b9b620341.jpg?v=1681451372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/britain-portugal-and-south-america-martin-robson-9781350165632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
