Austerlitz, Wagram, Borodino, Trafalgar, Leipzig, Waterloo: these are the places most closely associated with the era of the Napoleonic Wars. But how did this period of nearly continuous conflict affect the world beyond Europe? The immensity of the fighting waged by France against England, Prussia, Austria, and Russia, and the immediate consequences of the tremors that spread throughout the world.
In this ambitious and far-ranging work, Alexander Mikaberidze argues that the Napoleonic Wars can only be fully understood in an international perspective. France struggled for dominance not only on the plains of Europe but also in the Americas, West and South Africa, Ottoman Empire, Iran, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Taking specific regions in turn, Mikaberidze discusses major political-military events around the world and situates geopolitical decision-making within its long- and short-term contexts. From the British expeditions to Argentina and South Africa to the Franco-Russian maneuvering in the Ottoman Empire, the effects of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars would shape international affairs well into the next century. In Egypt, the wars led to the rise of Mehmed Ali and the emergence of a powerful state; in North America, the period transformed and enlarged the newly established United States; and in South America, the Spanish colonial empire witnessed the start of national-liberation movements that ultimately ended imperial control.
Skillfully narrated and deeply researched, here at last is the global history of the period, one that expands our view of the Napoleonic Wars and their role in laying the foundations of the modern world.
奥斯特利茨、瓦格拉姆、波罗底诺、特拉法加、莱比锡、滑铁卢：这些都是与拿破仑战争时代联系最密切的地方。但是，这段几乎持续不断的冲突对欧洲以外的世界产生了怎样的影响？法国对英国、普鲁士、奥地利和俄罗斯发动的大规模战斗，以及蔓延到世界各地的地震的直接后果。
在这部雄心勃勃、影响深远的著作中，亚历山大·米卡贝里泽认为，拿破仑战争只能从国际的角度来全面理解。法国不仅在欧洲平原上争夺统治地位，而且还在美洲、西非和南非、奥斯曼帝国、伊朗、印度、印度尼西亚、菲律宾、地中海以及大西洋和印度洋争夺统治地位。Mikaberidze依次讨论了世界各地的重大政治军事事件，并将地缘政治决策置于长期和短期背景下。从英国对阿根廷和南非的远征，到法俄在奥斯曼帝国的军事行动，法国大革命和拿破仑战争的影响将影响国际事务，一直持续到下个世纪。在埃及，战争导致了穆罕默德·阿里(Mehmed Ali)的崛起和一个强大国家的崛起；在北美，这段时期改变并扩大了新成立的美国；在南美，西班牙殖民帝国见证了民族解放运动的开始，最终结束了帝国的控制。
经过巧妙的叙述和深入的研究，这里终于有了这一时期的全球历史，它扩展了我们对拿破仑战争及其在奠定现代世界基础中的作用的看法。
