War of the First Coalition
1792–1797 set of battles between the French revolutionaries and the neighbouring monarchies
The War of the First Coalition (French: Guerre de la Première Coalition) was a series of wars between 1792 and 1797. The wars were fought between several European countries. They were first fought against the constitutional Kingdom of France and then the French Republic.[18] The other countries did not fight together. There was very little agreement. Each country wanted a different part of France after a French defeat. This defeat never happened.[19]
