Battle of Hohenlinden, Bavaria, 3rd December 1800 (1882-1884)
Battle of Hohenlinden, Bavaria, 3rd December 1800 (1882-1884). As Frances General Jean Moreau was advancing towards Munich with 100, 000 troops, Archduke John of Austria was hoping to use his 130, 000 men to outflank him and cut off his supply lines. With the French seeming to be trying to do the same, John changed his plan and instead drove straight down the main road to Munich near Hohenlinden. Unfortunately, for the Austrians, he ran full into the waiting French who had taken strong defensive positions straddling the road. Excellent work on the flanks by General Ney, General Grouchy and General Richepanse shattered the Austrians, who fled. Moreau lost some 5000 killed and wounded, while John had to report 18, 000 casualties. Austria signed an armistice three weeks later.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of Hohenlinden, which took place in Bavaria on the 3rd of December, 1800. In this historic clash, General Jean Moreau led his formidable French army towards Munich, while Archduke John of Austria aimed to outflank him with his own substantial forces. However, fate had a different plan in store. As Archduke John marched down the main road near Hohenlinden, he unknowingly walked straight into a well-prepared trap set by the waiting French troops. The Austrians were met with fierce resistance from General Ney, General Grouchy, and General Richepanse who skillfully executed their defensive strategies. The devastating outcome was evident as shattered Austrian soldiers fled from the battlefield. The casualties were staggering: Moreau's forces suffered around 5,000 killed or wounded while Archduke John reported a staggering 18,000 casualties among his men. This resounding victory for France ultimately led to an armistice being signed by Austria three weeks later. The print showcases not only the chaos and violence of war but also highlights the bravery and strategic prowess displayed by both sides during this significant conflict. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals amidst historical events that shaped nations and altered destinies forever.
