I have been looking around on this forum and haven't found much of an answer of this question.specifically to the people who know Britain internal politics during the Napoleonic wars, i have heard that there was a push for peace after the disasters of the third and fourth coalitions (including the king from what i understand but he was also going in and out of madness at the time so i don't think he had much impact in policy decisions like he did earlier in his reign) so i'm wondering what pod could be used in allowing this “peace party” to succeed in making peace with Napoleonic France after Tilsit, even if it's more like a peace of amiens then a treaty of Paris.
 
Hate it when people don’t respond to a thread so I thought I would comment, but unfortunately I don’t have much to offer on the matter. I would imagine that the British would be willing to sign a peace similar to Amiens, but I couldn’t envision the British accepting anything remotely close to the Treaty of Paris unless the French landed on the isles or dealt the British a really decisive naval defeat or something. I think a POD shouldn’t be too hard, just conjure up a financial crisis or something of the sort and have the peace-pushers prevail.
 
Thanks for the comment @Viralworld That was my thout as well but I haven't been able to find much information from primary sources sense I put this thread up so I'm honestly not sure how much would be required to get that push, like the difference between a complete finnatal collapse or a short(er) fall in the stock market, probably something in the model more then likely.

And the vote is over gust effects not in actual terms, so the treaty of Paris (1815) or (1814) ended the Napoleonic wars weal the treaty of amiens was only a 1 year truse, personaly i think the most likely snario is a treaty that ends up like a truse that lastes like 2-3 years insted of gust 1.
 
One thing poorly understood, and often poorly understood during the various wars, is that the British overseas territories and trading networks gave it the same strategic depth as Russia.
 
But not really, Briton had a lot of colonys true but in the end it live and died on the isles and a major economic or political crisis on them would cause it to colaps.

Not that I'm saying those colonys don't add some depth but saying it add as much as Russia in my view is a bit much, and besides the blows Russia took were very hard and they still nearly folded (a couple times actually thoe out that campaign).
 
I think peace between Britain and Napoleonic France would foremost mean the British leave mainland Europe to France, France leaves the sea to Britain, as long as Britain does not impose any blockades. I don't have the exact date but I believe Tilsit came after the Louisiana Purchase, so there would not be many French overseas territories left France would need a navy to defend, except for some minor islands in the Caribbean and the South Pacific. And I don't know how far the French were involved in India either, but that would probably not be a sticking point if this meant no British troops in the next Europeanpertg kingdom Napoleon tries to topple
