| Abstract: | It-Trattat ta' Pariġi tas-sena 1814, stabbilixxa lil Malta bħala kolonja Brittanika. Dan kien ikkonfermat fil-Kungress ta' Vjenna fis-sena ta ' wara. Għall-bidu, il-ħakkiema l-ġodda ħassewhom salvi bil-protezzjoni ta' mijiet ta' kilometri ta' swar li ħallew warajhom il-Kavallieri ta' San Ġwann. Imma, hekk kif għadda ż-żmien u l-armi saru iktar b'saħħithom u effiċjenti, dawn il-fortifikazzjonijiet saru bla użu - anzi ħafna minnhom, l-aktar batteriji u ridotti ta' madwar il-kosta, spiċċaw abbandunati u saru bejtiet tal-ħallelin. |
