What is French Revolutionary Wars?
The '''French Revolutionary Wars''' are conflicts between 1792 and 1802 that started by the [[French Revolution]] in which [[France]] fought [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Britain]], [[Habsburg Monarchy|Austria]], [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]], [[Russian Empire|Russia]] and several other countries that were called [[Monarchy|monarchies]]. There are (mostly) two conflicts: the [[War of the First Coalition]] (1792–1797) and the War of the Second Coalition (1798–1802). The fighting was at first mainly in [[Europe]] but then spread across the world. After ten years of fighting, France took much land from what is now [[Italian Peninsula|Italy]], [[Belgium]], [[Luxembourg]], the [[Netherlands]] and [[Germany]] and gave up [[Louisiana (New France)|Louisiana]], which is now in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]].

As early as 1791, the other monarchies of Europe hated the French Revolution and wondered if they should intervene to stop the revolution from spreading, or they should take advantage of the disorder in France. [[Austria]] put many troops next to its French border and, together with [[Prussia]], threatened France if it hurt King Louis and his wife, Queen [[Marie Antoinette]] in the Declaration of Pillnitz. After Austria refused to move its troops away from the French border or to stop threatening France, a French declaration of war on Austria and Prussia happened in the spring of 1792. Both countries then invaded France, but France won the Battle of Valmy in September. The victory gave the [[National Convention]], a new French government, the confidence to get rid of the monarchy.<ref>TCW Blanning, ''The French Revolutionary Wars''. pp. 78–79.</ref> France won more battles but was stopped after it was defeated at Neerwinden, now in Belgium, in the spring of 1793.
