In the year of 1807, Napoleon won over the Russians and the Prussians, and according to the agreement of Tilsit of 1807, he re-gained Corfu and the other islands of the Ionian Sea. England besieged and seized Zakynthos, Kefalonia, Ithaca and in 1810, also Lefkada. In 1810, England besieged Corfu as well, but was not successful.
In this period, there is built a lot of public works and the sector of public services is founded. The Frenchman Donzelo repaired the fortresses, built a new bastion and for the first time potatoes, tomatoes and eggplants were imported to Corfu-until then the Corfiots didn’t know these kinds of vegetable. In addition, it was then, when the trees at the Spianada Square were planted. The second French Dominion was preferred to the first.
In 1814, after the defeat of Napoleon, French gave Corfu to England.
