Napoleon's planned invasion of England at the start of the War of the Third Coalition, although never carried out, was a major influence on British naval strategy and fortification of the coast of south-east England. The first Army of England had gathered on the Channel coast in 1798, but an invasion of England was sidelined by Napoleon's concentration on campaigns in Egypt and Austria, and finally shelved by the 1802 Peace of Amiens. Preparations began again in earnest soon after the outbreak of war in 1803, and were finally called off in 1805.
