Napoleon and the Dutch War Subsidy, 1795-1806.}, volume={17}, url={https://tseg.nl/article/view/8369}, DOI={10.18352/tseg.1102}, abstractNote={<p>Just over one decade ago, Pierre Branda published a study of Napoleonic public finance. The study marks a turning point in the historiography of Napoleonic war financing because, through relying on well-researched quantitative data, Branda lays to rest the long-held myth that Napoleon ‘made war pay for war’. However, the Franco-centric conceptualisation of Napoleonic resource extraction and the temporal delineation have resulted in a prism that omits certain sources of revenue. This omission has a bearing on Branda’s overall assessment of Napoleonic war financing. Through exploring French resource extraction in the Netherlands through forcing the Dutch to pay for the maintenance of a French contingent, this article builds on Branda’s work to shed a new light on the success of Napoleonic resource extraction and war financing.</p>}, number={2}, journal={TSEG - The Low Countries Journal of Social and Economic History}, author={Hay, Mark Edward}, year={2020}, month={Oct.}, pages={55–82} }
