The Slave Trade Question in European Diplomacy, 1807-1822

Description: Despite the importance of the Slave Trade Question in European diplomacy from 1807-1822, historians of this period have neglected it in order to concentrate on Napoleon and the reconstruction of Europe.

This thesis represents an attempt to satisfy the need for a diplomatic study of this issue.
