French Revolutionary Wars

The French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802) were a series of conflicts arising from the French Revolution. Following the revolution's rise against monarchy, revolutionary France faced coalitions of European monarchies that aimed to restore the old order. Key battles occurred as France fought against Austria, Prussia, and later other nations, promoting revolutionary ideals like nationalism and republicanism. The wars led to significant territorial expansions for France and set the stage for the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Ultimately, these wars reshaped the political landscape of Europe and influenced future movements for democracy and national self-determination.
