I've always wondered about this. While all of Europe was at one time or another at war with Napoléon the only power to remain continuously at war was the United Kingdom. After the breakdown of the Treaty of Ameins there was not another peace treaty until Fontainebleau in 1814. So what made England, alone among all powers, unwilling to make even a short peace with the French conqueror? Pride? The fact that both nations were basically at a standstill? Or another reason I haven't thought of?
