Packet 1: Bonus 21

Henry Addington’s government refused to fulfill a provision in the Treaty of Amiens (“ah-MYUN”) to evacuate this island, sparking the War of the Third Coalition. For 10 points each:
[10e] What island territory was occupied by Napoleonic forces, then British forces, after being ruled by the Knights of Saint John from the fortified city of Valletta?
ANSWER: Malta [accept the Republic of Malta or Repubblika ta’ Malta]
[10m] When Napoleon seized Malta, this outraged patron of the Knights had himself elected Grand Master. This chivalry-obsessed tsar later switched sides and planned a quixotic invasion of India before his 1801 assassination.
ANSWER: Paul I [or Tsar Pavel I; prompt on Paul or Pavel]
[10h] This person drew a colossal English sailor using Malta as a stepping stone to box Napoleon off a global “dunghill.” This person also drew the world as a “plumb-pudding” divided between the English and French.
ANSWER: James Gillray (The two cartoons are Fighting for the dunghill and The Plumb-pudding in danger.)
