| abstract | - After the French Revolution succeeded in overthrowing Louis XVI and establishing the French Republic, the many nations of Europe united in the First Coalition to fight the revolutionaries and put the Bourbon's back on the French throne. The Holy Roman Empire, Prussia, and Britain led the charge by invading France through the north and th east, pushing deep into France, and leaving the fate of the Revolution in doubt. But finally on September 20, 1792, Charles Francois Dumouriez led 47,000 French to victory at Valmy to a decisive victory and created a stalemate in the east. As the stalemate was broken and Franc began to win many more victories, the Prussian and Holy Romans lost too many men and were forced to retreat, ending the invasion of France. Meanwhile, the British attempted an attack on southern France's ports, including Toulon, in an attempt to nulify the French Mediterranean Fleet. During the battle of Toulon, Napoleon Bonaparte at this point took the advantage of France's geographical position in Toulon, and fired his cannons on the British ships, which later retreated. Napoleon then took part in the land battle, which drove the invaders from the port, but also forced the French Mediterranean fleet to stay in port a few years. This battle launched the career of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was then promoted to Brigadier General, and brought him to the attention of the Parisian political elite. The next phase of the war took place in the European Lowlands, which had occupied by the British and Prussians. The French fought in the Lowlands for four years, and the war there eventually stretched into the Rhineland even, and the over-extended invaders were forced to retreat from both fronts. The retreat led to France annexes much of the Rhineland and Belgium, and the Netherlands being reformed into the Batavian Republic, a French client state, the first of many.
