The French Revolution rocketed from Paris and made its influence
felt throughout the world. Vast changes occurred in the way people
related to their governing bodies. Instead of acting as passive
onlookers, the people of France directly involved themselves in the
affairs of state. The monumental changes brought about by the
French Revolution also changed the nature of warfare. A period of
nearly uninterrupted conflict existed both within and outside of
France from 1792 to 1802. To rise to this daunting challenge, the
armies of the French Republic developed a new approach to waging
war. Under assault by Europe's great powers and faced with internal
struggles, the French Republic mobilized the full range of its
natural and human resources. The call for volunteers produced a
mass citizen army, and the government moved to provide new
officers, new organizations, and new tactics. The French Republic
nationalized the economy to equip its patriotic army for a
decade-long struggle to preserve the ideals of the revolution. The
A to Z of the Wars of the French Revolution describes significant
persons, places, events, encounters, and battles that substantially
changed the nature of warfare at the end of the 18th century in
Europe. Additionally, it gives a sense of the impact of these
changes on the general course of human history, drawing connections
between events to map out an entire time period of eventful change.
The dictionary contains a detailed chronology from the declaration
of the French Republic in 1792 to the Treaty of Amiens in 1802.
Numerous maps help to orient the reader. The entries are efficient
and generously referenced, giving the reader detailed knowledge
while simultaneously allowing a broad picture of this crucial time
period. An introduction provides a useful overview for the general
reader.
