Wars of the French revolution

The Guerres of the French revolution indicate the conflicts which implied the revolutionary France against of other European countries, often united, during the period ranging between 1792 (war against the Austria) and the Traité of Amiens of 1802. A distinction can be made between the period known as of the First coalition (1792-1797) and the Second coalition (1798-1801), even if certain countries, and in particular the the United Kingdom, were in continuous war against France of 1793 to 1802.

Characterized by a revolutionary enthusiasm and military innovations, these multiple campaigns saved the French revolutionary mode, however confronted with a serious European opposition. In addition, the victories which followed contributed to extend to a significant degree the territorial influence of France.
