abstract
  • The War of the Grand Coalition (1790-1792) was the first major effort of the European monarchies to contain Revolutionary France. France was responding to distress calls from Hungary and Bohemia when it declared war on the Hapsburg monarchy of Austria on 25 May 1790. Prussia and Sardinia joined the Austrian side a few weeks later as the Spanish Republic joined France on May 29 to uphold their defensive pact. Great Britain stayed out of the conlict to avoid the costs of mobilizing its military and focus on preserving King George's family in Hanover which had fallen into popular unrest similar to France. The Dutch Republic joined Austria when news spread that France was annexing the Austrian Netherlands and had ambitions for the rest of Northern Europe in its quest to bring the West into the fold of republicanism. The radical goals of France in this war shocked beneficiaries of the anciens rĂ©gimes who failed to take the threat of revolution seriously and were intent on carving up waning powers like Poland and the Ottoman Empire. When the end of the old order was realized it was too late to halt the wave of support for democratic ideals and governments for the people, by the people, without autocratic monarchs.
