| - Angered by the major powers' lenience towards Louis XVI and the overthrown French monarchy, France's revolutionary government declared war onGreat Britain, Austria,Prussia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Iberian nations in 1792. Ostensively, the war seemed poised to be won by the allies, and it did go in their favor initially. However, when the National Convention put a young Napoleon Bonaparte in charge of the exhausted French army of Italy, the tide turned. Austrian armies were repeatedly stunned by the aptitude of the general, and ultimately conceaded. With the fronts with the other nations too stalemated to be of any assistance to Austria, the allies gave in to France in 1797. French Italian satellite states came about in the concluding Treaty of Campo Formio, and the Austrian Netherlands were also lost to France as a result.
