The Battle of Neerwinden took place on March 18, 1793, during the War of the First Coalition. This conflict involved the forces of the French Republic and the Austrian Empire, as part of a broader struggle against revolutionary France. The battle occurred near the village of Neerwinden in present-day Belgium, where the Austrians aimed to reclaim territories lost to the French. The Austrians, led by Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, achieved a decisive victory over the French forces commanded by General Dumouriez. This defeat significantly impacted the French military position in the region and contributed to the ongoing tensions between revolutionary France and its European neighbors.
