1803 
  • 18 May 1803—20 Nov 1815: Napoleonic Wars
    No consensus exists as to when the French Revolutionary Wars ended and the Napoleonic Wars began. An early candidate is 9 November 1799, when Bonaparte seized power in France with the coup of 18 Brumaire. 18 May 1803 is the most commonly used date, as this was when a renewed declaration of war between Britain and France (resulting from the collapse of the Treaty of Amiens), ended the only period of general peace in Europe between 1792 and 1814. The Napoleonic Wars ended following Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo on 18 June 1815 and the Second Treaty of Paris

  • Aug 1809—Oct 1809: Walcheren - August to October 1809:

    Walcheren - August to October 1809:

    The British sent an expedition of thirty-four warships and 200 transports to capture Antwerp from the French and based the 40,000 troops on malaria-infested Walcheren Island. Under an incapable naval commander (Richard Strachan) and an equally incapable general (Lord Chatham), the campaign never got properly started. In eight weeks the British commanders lost 217 men in action, 7,000 dead from illness and another 14,000 seriously ill.

  • Aug 1809: Flushing - August 1809

    Flushing - August 1809:

    A British expedition of thirty-five warships, escorting 200 transports carrying 40,000 men, was sent to capture Antwerp and thus divert Napoleon's attention from Central Europe. The expedition commander was the Earl of Chatham (the younger Pitt) who wasted time and men in the capture of Flushing on the island of Walcheren. Meanwhile, Louis Bonaparte and Marshal Bernadotte had reinforced Antwerp. Chatham withdrew, leaving a garrison of 15,000 on Walcheren; 5,000 died in a malaria epidemic. Flushing surrendered after a feeble defence, August 16, 1809.

  • 1815—1830: Belgium part of Kingdom of United Netherlands (1815 to 1830)
    Belgium formed part of Kingdom of United Netherlands (1815 to 1830)

    Antwerp had reached the lowest point of its fortunes in 1800, and its population had sunk under 40,000, when Napoleon, realizing its strategic importance, assigned two million[clarification needed] to enlarge the harbor by constructing two docks and a mole and deepening the Scheldt to allow for larger ships to approach Antwerp.[12] Napoleon hoped that by making Antwerp's harbor the finest in Europe he would be able to counter London's harbor and stint British growth, but he was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo before he could see the plan through

  • 1815—1846: Corn Laws
    The Corn Laws were trade laws designed to protect cereal producers in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland against competition from less expensive foreign imports between 1815 and 1846
  • 5 Apr 1815—15 Apr 1815: Volcanic Mount Tambora eruption
    1815 (April 5–15) volcanic Mount Tambora eruption

    [14][15] on the island of Sumbawa, Indonesia (then part of the Dutch East Indies). The eruption had a Volcanic Explosivity Index ranking of 7, a super-colossal event that ejected immense amounts of volcanic dust into the upper atmosphere. It was the world's largest eruption since the Hatepe eruption over 1,630 years earlier in AD 180. The fact that the 1815 eruption occurred during the middle of the Dalton Minimum (a period of unusually low solar activity) is also significant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer
