1798 ?

IMPROVEMENT

Napoleon landed on and took Malta on June 10, 1798, overwhelming the weak resistance of its garrison of 1.200 men. Then, during the following 5 days he reshaped every aspect of the way of life of the island. The Order of the Knights of St. John was abolished and all its members, with exception of those who agreed to join the French Army, were deported. Furthermore he set up the guidelines of a new Constitution, reformed the island's economy and created a new system of public education. The treasures of the Order were confiscated and about 7 millions of francs were destined to fill up the coffer of Napoleon's expeditionary force.
