NOTES:
COALITION OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION:
1st Coalition: 1792-1797. Fought against revolting/revolutionizing France, and many other European countries. It was the first major effort of mulitple European monarchies to contain Revolutionary France.
-France declared war on the Habsburg monarchy of Austria on April 20, 1792, and the Kingdom of Prussia joined the Austrian side a few weeks later.
Countries Involved (First Coalition-against France): Habsburg Monarchy, Holy Roman Empire, Prussia (until 1795), Great Britain, French Royalists, Spain (until 1795), and Portugal. These countries like the idea of monarchy.
1st Coalition (continued): This war started off as France as the aggressor, even though many people assumed differently. At the beginning, France suffered some defeats by other countries and some issures with loyalist (internal issues).
-Their response was to increase the size of their army. They made all men ages 18 to 25 "draftable" to fight in the war.
France against the Coalition: The French were able to regroup and do much better fighting off the coalitino. A few countries quit fighting against France in 1795 (Prussia and Spain even switched sides, like USSR did in WWII).
-Finally, in 1797, Great Britain was the only country still fighting against the French. They quickly quit and France had prevailed.
Results of the War: French victory, Treaty of Campo Formio, Survival of the French Republic, French annexation of the Austrian Netherlands. Several French client republics established "sister countries". Hostilities resumed in 1798 with the formation of the 2nd coalition against France.
TREATY OF CAMPO FORMIO: With the Treaty of Campo Formio, the Holy Roman Empire ceded the Austrian Netherlands to France and Northern Italy was turned into several French "Sister Republics".
