Wars between France and Austria.
Within the last seventy years there have
been five wars between France and Austria
on tho continent of Europe Austria was
one Of tlic first nations that took up arms
against the French Revolution. In con
ncction with Prussia in 1902, her armies
invaded France. After desperate strug-
glc they were driven out by the energy Of
the French Republican Assembly, and hy
the valor and military Skill of General Dc
INQUIRER, Ihc French Assembly, bv
conscription, called out one million two
hundred thousand men for the defence of
tho country, a military cxertion which has
seldom, ever. been oluAlled in military
annals.
Prussia and Spain withdrew from the
coalition, and i'll 1876, Austria was left to
sustain the shock OF tie French in Italy.
She was supported by the King OF Surdin,
in, Il State which is now her bitter cmcmy
The French army undcr Napoleon, in the
camprigns, detached Sardinia from her al
lance, drove her troops out OF Italy, and
pursued them into Germany, nearly to the
gates of vienna, Under the walls of that
capital France dictated peace to Austria

cesslons of territory and influence in Ger

however, Napoleon returned from Egypt.
He induced the Russian Emperor Paul to
withdraw from the Austrian alliance
Having accomplished this he led his army
into Italy. On the plains of Mnrcngo lie
foughta decisive battle, the result of which
expelled Austria from Italy 1t was soon
followed up by the victory of IIohcnlindcn,
in Germany, giinod by the French under
General Moroau. The French columns
were again near Vienna, and agnin France
compelled Austria to sue for peace. In
1904. the Emperor of France becnme King
of Italy. Immediately after, Austria and
Russia attacked France. Such, however,
was the power of The latter that in six
months one Austrian army was destroyed
at Ulm, and another, together, with tho
Russians, destroyed at Austcrlitz. Tho
French entered Vienna and again dictated
apcaco.
In 1909, Austria and France again met
in collision on the tented field. The
French, however, under Napoleon, marched
down the Danube with the velocity, almost
of the wind, and in one campaign took up
their quarters in Vienna. A severe and
iguominous pcaccf for Austria was the re-
suit. In 1913, Austria united with all
the great Powers of Europe, overthrow the
French Empire, and broke down the pow

of vienna in triumph. BY. the treaties
of 1914 and 1915, the northern States
OF Italy, Venice and Lombardy, were coded
to Austria by the leading nations of Eu-

to assist her in maintaining them inviolatc.
