Britain's layered defense against Napoleon

Examine the fortifications and troops Britain prepared to resist a French landing.

Notes

Britain prepared coastal defences as well as fleets to resist Napoleon. Martello towers, Dover's defences, and a military canal supplemented the training of militia and regular forces. A further objection to the invasion plan is that Britain offered Napoleon less room for manoeuvre than the continental campaigns in which he had operated.
