Austria stationed significant troops on its French border and together with Prussia, issued the Declaration of Pillnitz, which threatened severe consequences should anything happen to King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. Īs early as 1791, the other monarchies of Europe looked with outrage at the revolution and its upheavals and they considered whether they should intervene, either in support of King Louis XVI, to prevent the spread of revolution, or to take advantage of the chaos in France.
French success in these conflicts ensured the spread of revolutionary principles over much of Europe. After a decade of constant warfare and aggressive diplomacy, France had conquered territories in the Italian Peninsula, the Low Countries and the Rhineland. Initially confined to Europe, the fighting gradually assumed a global dimension. They are divided in two periods: the War of the First Coalition (1792–1797) and the War of the Second Coalition (1798–1802). They pitted France against Britain, Austria, Prussia, Russia, and several other monarchies. The French Revolutionary Wars ( French: Guerres de la Révolution française) were a series of sweeping military conflicts lasting from 1792 until 1802 and resulting from the French Revolution.
