　　16. the war between Britain and France

　　In the late eighteenth century， battles raged in almost every corner of Europe， as well as in the Middle East， south Africa ，the West Indies， and Latin America. In reality， however， there was only one major war during this time， the war between Britain and France. All other battles were ancillary to this larger conflict， and were often at least partially related to its antagonist’ goals and strategies. France sought total domination of Europe . this goal was obstructed by British independence and Britain’s efforts throughout the continent to thwart Napoleon; through treaties. Britain built coalitions (not dissimilar in

concept to today’s NATO) guaranteeing British participation in all major European conflicts. These two antagonists were poorly matched， insofar as they had very unequal strengths; France was predominant on land， Britain at sea. The French knew that， short of defeating the British navy， their only hope of victory was to close all the ports of Europe to British ships. Accordingly， France set out to overcome Britain by extending its military domination from Moscow t Lisbon， from Jutland to Calabria.
