		On the side of the French, the Army of the Moselle (41,000 effectives) was in cordon between Saargemiind and Longwy; the Army of the Ardennes (22,000) between Beaumont and Givet; of the Army of the North, the right wing (38,000) in the area BeaumontMaubeuge and the centre (24,000) about Guise.
		The French were far too exhausted to pursue them (they had lost twice as many men as the Allies), and their leader had practically no formed body at hand to follow up the victory, thanks to the extraordinary dissemination of the army.

		The peace obtained in 1801–2 is generally considered to divide the French Revolutionary Wars from the Napoleonic Wars, but the character of the conflict changed only gradually.
		It was desired by many of the revolutionists—with the notable exception of Robespierre—who believed that war would insure the permanence of the new order and propagate revolution abroad, and by the royalists, who hoped that victory would restore the powers of Louis XVI.

		These wars revolutionized European army and artillery, as well as military systems, and were of a scale never before seen, mainly due to the application of modern mass conscription.
		French power rose quickly, conquering most of Europe; the fall was also rapid, beginning with the disastrous invasion of Russia, and Napoleon's empire ultimately suffered complete military defeat, resulting in the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France.
		The peace was soon clouded by the French intervention in the Swiss civil strife (Stecklikrieg) and occupation of several coastal cities in Italy.

	French Revolutionary Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The French Revolutionary Wars were a series of major conflicts, from 1792 until 1802, fought between the French Revolutionary government and several European states.
		Marked by French revolutionary fervour and military innovations, the campaigns saw the French Revolutionary Armies defeat a number of opposing coalitions and expand French control to the Low Countries, Italy, and the Rhineland.
		This began the longest period of peace during the period 1792-1815, and the crowning of Napoleon as emperor (in 1804) is an appropriate point to mark the transition between the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars.

		Britain was at war with France from 1793 until 1815, with a brief period of peace in 1802-1803.
		Tensions generated by this conflict led to the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States, and it is appropriate to discuss all three wars together.
		This meant that when the wars finally ended, there was no one left to train the "green men" who were so essential to the recovery of the migratory fishery.

	The French Revolt and Empire
		Austria was now fighting a lone war on the continent, and despite local gains she increasingly found herself faced by a new French army general of unusual ability.
		By the end of 1800, French generals Moreau, Brune and Macdonald were repeating the earlier drive east through southern Germany and so finally the Austrian government sued for peace, officially bringing the French Revolutionary Wars to a close in early 1801.
		With their strategic center breached, the Austrians were unable to prevent the French occupation of Vienna, and in December of 1805 the remaining Allied army catastrophically lost the Battle of Austerlitz to Napoleon, knocking Austria out of the wars for several years.

	H-Net Review: Ronald Schechter on The French Revolutionary Wars: 1787-1802 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Blanning begins by arguing that French defeat in the Seven Years' War (1756-63) stimulated reforms in the army which are normally associated with the Revolution: the breaking up of armies into smaller, more flexible divisions; the use of columns in addition to lines; an increasing reliance on light troops; and the use of artillery.
		A similar tension is evident in Blanning's discussion of the importance of the alleged elan of the French revolutionary soldiers.
		In some places Blanning criticizes the notion that as "citizen-soldiers" French troops were equipped with a patriotic spirit or elan and a special sense of mission which enabled them to fight more courageously and more successfully than their counterparts in the allied forces.

	French Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The wars of the 17th and 18th cent., an iniquitous and inefficient system of taxation, intervention in the AMERICAN REVOLUTION, and waste had resulted in a gigantic public debt, which neither NECKER, nor CALONNE, nor Loménie de Brienne was able to reduce.
		But this only provided the ideas not the motivation for revolutionary upheaval; the deeper causes of both revolutions were rooted in changing social and economic conditions of the eighteenth century, the weaknesses of monarchical leadership, and mounting financial problems.
		But the French experience convinced more and more people during the course of an initially reactionary nineteenth century that popular sovereignty, national independence, and constitutional government were the new forces in world history.
