War of the Second Coalition
The War of the Second Coalition (1798-1802) was a conflict involving several European powers against the French Republic. It was part of the larger series of conflicts known as the French Revolutionary Wars. The main participants included Great Britain, Austria, Russia, and Naples, who aimed to curb the expansion of French influence following the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.
The war saw significant battles, including the Battle of Marengo and the Battle of Hohenlinden, which ultimately led to French victories. The conflict ended with the signing of the Treaty of Amiens in 1802, temporarily establishing peace in Europe and recognizing French territorial gains.
