French Revolution Wars

On 20 April 1792, France declared war to Austria. Austria soon gathered a coalition of European monarchies involving German states ; Spain and England. This will be the first of seven coalitions against France during the French Revolution and Napoleon times.

Up to that moment in the history of Europe, the purpose of previous wars had been either for Kingdoms to expand their territories and domination or religious wars, such as those between Catholics and Protestants.

This war was that of a new kind: a war for ideals - Liberty and Equality for a Republic in the making versus the old monarchies trying to maintain their feudal system and not letting the revolutionary ideas spread to their kingdoms...

But we know the winner writes history... And two centuries later they still lie about it and cover up why they were fighting against France... They even make bad movies about it...
