French Revolutionary Wars

The French Revolutionary Wars occurred between the outbreak of war between the French Revolutionary government and Austria in 1792 and the Treaty of Amiens in 1802. It is usually divided between the First Coalition (1792–1797) and the Second Coalition (1798–1801), although France was at war with Britain continuously from 1793 to 1802.
