Part 7: The Great European War 1795-1806 Section 3: Enter the Ottomans and Lang Lebe die Revolution:

The Ottomans had long been in a decline, with only the small victory over the Russians in the 6 Year’s War breaking up a long run of military defeats. Now the French presented Sultan Selim III with a proposal, invade the Austrians and the French will help them modernise and guarantee of Ottoman territory. Selim III eagerly agreed and in September 1799 the Ottomans began to ready themselves for war.
The Ottoman invasion of Hungary began in October 1799 as an Ottoman army, under Mehmed Hüsrev Pasha, marched into Transylvania, aiming for Klausenberg. The Ottomans army met with organised resistance almost immediately and, despite defeating a militia army outside Hermannstadt, their numbers were whittled down by continuing attacks from the Transylvanian people. By the time the Ottoman army encountered a proper Austrian army outside Mulenbach they were heavily demoralised and dwindling in numbers. That, combined with the difference in modernisation between the two forces, meant that the Ottomans were totally defeated in their first battle of the Great European War. A second Ottoman army invaded a month later, again targeting Klausenberg, but this too was defeated, this time outside Fogoras. This disastrous opening campaign disheartened the French, who promptly withdrew most of their support leaving only a handle of advisors behind. This left the Ottomans in a terrible state, they had entered the war assuming that their army would be improved to be capable of fighting the Austrians, but now they that would not be the case. On top of that the Austrians had launched a major offensive into Bosnia and Serbia, reaching Serajevo and Nissa by January 1800. That month the Poles also invaded the Ottomans, aiming to seize the Crimea. A Polish army, under Konstanty Albert Mniszech, marched on Odessa and besieged the city in late January 1800, whilst a second Polish force marched on Perekop and captured the city. The empire seemed to be falling apart in front of the Sultan’s eyes. Meanwhile, Grand Coalition diplomats and nobles drew up ambitious plans for the dissolution and partition of the Ottoman state.
 
Meanwhile things were deteriorating in Spain as well. The Portuguese were now masters of Galicia and the Zaragozan Confederation had marched on Madrid. They failed to capture the city, but were currently camped outside the capitals walls. To further compound French and Spanish worries in Spain, the British had landed an expeditionary force near rebel-held Valencia and were marching through the Spanish countryside, occupying large amounts of land in cooperation with the rebels. This army, under Edward Jenkinson Earl of Liverpool, reached Madrid in March 1800 and joined the siege. The Spanish capital fell 2 months later. The Portuguese then invaded Asturias and even the Castile region. Hemmed in on all sides King Charles IV fled to France and the Zaragozan Confederation declared the Empire of the Spanish, to distinguish it from the Kingdom of Spain that it was replacing, the Spanish colonies in South America and elsewhere, however, renounced this new nation and declared a Kingdom of Spain-in-exile with its capital in Lima. The French also rejected the Empire of the Spanish and invaded eastern Spain, occupying a small amount of Catalonia. Meanwhile the Portuguese seized all Spanish land east of the Rio Parana.

In Italy the Grand Coalition renewed their offensive in June 1800, invading Sardinia from the north, targeting Montebello and Alessandria. The Grand Coalition army, now largely made up of Italian soldiers due to the diversion of Austrian troops to fight the Ottomans, reached Montebello easily, defeating two Sardinian forces on the way, but failed to reach Alessandria. The weather took a turn for the worst and much of the Grand Coalition artillery became trapped in the mud. The bogged down Grand Coalition forces were then ambushed by a large Sardinian army and scattered. What was left of the army retreated back to Montebello where they dug in, awaiting reinforcements.
In August 1800 the Marshall Davout’s Rhine Army launched a second offensive to cross the Rhine river. They crossed the river at Cologne and marched up the river to Dusseldorf, here Davout and von Laudon renewed their rivalry. The Battle of Ekrath, a town outside Dusseldorf, was very bloody and the manpower costs for both sides were colossal. The Grand Coalition army fought valiantly, killing many of the French, but they were outnumbered 3 to 1 and were eventually over run. Dusseldorf fell shortly afterwards. The situation in the Rhineland was becoming increasingly desperate for the Grand Coalition and it was made even worse in October 1800 when several west German states ‘quit’ the Holy Roman Empire and joined the French alliance, this sates were promptly occupied by the French ‘for their own protection’. The Netherlands was now surrounded by the French and widespread discontent was spreading in the Holy Roman Empire.
The year 1801 was the dawn of a new age. One year after the turn of the century, the revolution came to Europe and the Great European War entered its second phase, the Revolutionary Wars. This period of the Great European War lasted 6 years and saw the fall of some of Europe’s mightiest entities and the rise of several new ones.

Austria was the first to experience major unrest in the Holy Roman Empire. The festering resentment against the Joseph II’s reforms, particularly the massive reduction in the power of the Hungarian Diet, in Hungary was now compounded by the dragging on of the Great European War. In February 1801 an angry crowd, led by a Dalmatian priest named Juraj Paškal Terzić Kačić, marched on the Hungarian Diet in Pressburg carrying a petition for the restoration of Hungarian power. However, the Hungarian Diet was under guard, due to the war, and the Austrian guards became nervous and jumpy as the Hungarian protesters approached. The crowd demanded to be allowed access to the Diet, but the guards denied them. Following repeated denials of access the crowd became increasingly angry and violent and began to throw rocks at the guards. Colonel Gerfried Hass, the commander of the guard force, then ordered the soldiers to fire a warning shot over the crowd’s heads. The crowd, however, reacted violently and charged at the Austrian soldiers, killing Juraj Kačić as he tried to stop them. The resulting slaughter saw 53 protesters and 4 soldiers killed and 98 protesters and 27 soldiers injured. On hearing of the, so-called, ‘Massacre of Pressburg’ the citizens of Pressburg and the wider area began to openly rebel against the Austrian government.

Over the next 3 months the Magyar Rebellion, as it became known, spread rapidly across north-west Hungary. They scored victory after victory, thanks to the Austrian army fighting on the various fronts of the Great European War, and severely weakened the Austrian war machine. In June 1801 Charles I signed a white peace with the Ottomans and recalled the Balkans Army to combat the Magyar Rebellion at home. The Balkan Army was sent to march on Pressburg, the ‘capital’ of the Magyar Rebellion, they defeated several rebels forces on their way and reached Pressburg where they met the main rebel army. The Battle of Pressburg that followed was dreadful and bloody and thousands of soldiers and rebels died, by the end of the day however the main rebel force had retreated in to the city and holed themselves up. General Johann von Klenau, of the Balkans Army, claimed victory for the Austrians, but in reality it was more of a stalemate.
With Grand Coalition forces massively depleted, thanks to the Magyar Rebellion, the French pressed their advantage and launched the German Offensive. This was based an ambitious plan by Marshall Davout to take Hannover and Prussia out of the before Austria could re-enter it. Under the Davout Plan, as it became known, a French army would march up the Ems River, then along the North Sea coast to Schwerin, a second French army would march up through Wurzburg to Weimar whilst a third and final French army would invade Hannover, aiming to conquer it. Finally all three armies would invade Prussia in a three-pronged attack to meet at Berlin. The German Offensive was launched in August 1801 and began well enough, with the Weimar Army and Schwerin Army both keeping to schedule. By October the North Sea coast and Coburg were reached. The Hannover Army was fairing less well, under Davout himself, the army had reached Detmold, where they met a considerable Holy Roman Empire force. The Battle of Detmold was long, costing the French and Germans considerable losses. The French did eventually win the day, but only after having their army decimated, Detmold itself fell 5 days later but the mounting casualties forced the Hannover Army to set up camp in Detmold and Hannover was saved. After this minor set-back, Louis XVI and his advisors decided to establish the Kingdom of the Rhine by forcefully unifying the Rhenish states occupied by the French and placing Louis XVI’s second son, also named Louis, on the throne of this new state.

In the meantime, Duke Luis Fernández invited Archduke Ferdinand Karl Joseph of Austria-Este, cousin of Charles I of Austria, to come and take the throne of the Empire of the Spanish. Archduke Ferdinand accepted and on the 21st January 1802 was crowned in Madrid as Emperor of All Spaniards as Ferdinand VII, he would be known in history as Ferdinand of Austria. Ferdinand VII and Duke Luis Fernández then issued the Federalisation of the Empire Declaration, offering those in Spanish America the chance to join the Empire of the Spanish as an autonomous state within the Empire. The Declaration promised all peoples of the Spanish colonies, indigenous or not, equality, freedom, self-governance and the protection of a great power. All of the Spanish colonies promptly joined the Empire of the Spanish, with both the rebellious and those in power realising that this was the best option available to them, for now.

The whole French Alliance versus Grand Coalition war began to unravel in December 1801. From then onwards the war was between nations and rebel groups as well as between nation and nation. The Magyar Rebellion already in motion, the revolutionary movement spread into the rest of Germany. The Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the Electorate of Hannover and Prussia all suffered revolutionary movements. In Mecklenburg-Schwerin an angry mob stormed the Schwerin Palace, the seat of the Duke, and burnt the Duke’s throne. In Hannover, rebels took control of the city of Celle and proclaimed the Republic of Hannover, independent of British influence. In Prussia, meanwhile, a handful of army generals, led by Major General Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, launched a coup following the death of Frederick II aged, an incredible, 90 years old 2 weeks after his birthday in February 1802. The generals entered the City Palace in Berlin seeking an audience with the, as yet, uncrowned Frederick William II (OOC: Son of the OTL Frederick William II) and, having gained their audience with the King, Blücher put a gun to the King’s head and demanded he abdicate from the throne. Frederick William refused and was shot there and then. Blücher then proclaimed himself Consul of Prussia and declared the army in control of the nation. Consul Blücher and his generals then launched a counter-offensive against the French.
The resurgent Prussian forces marched through Saxony to Detmold where the French army was camped. The Second Battle of Detmold that resulted was just as bloody as the first, but this time the, already depleted, French army was defeated. The Prussian cavalry charged the French left wing, scattering them. The Prussian centre then advanced while the Prussian left wing flanked the French right wing. The French army now, virtually, trapped by Prussian forces, were slaughtered as they tried to flee the field. The Prussians marched into Detmold, occupying the city.

By April 1802 the Great European War had descended into a virtual free-for-all that re-wrote the rules of war. There were no clear sides, with the Prussians technically Hannover’s ally but also occupied Hanoverian territory that they captured from the rebels and various rebel groups vying for control against themselves and the governments of their nations.

A coup in Berlin, i wonder if Blucher does not crown himself king of Prussia in the near future.

Are there any relatives left of the now dead Frederick William II who might pose a thread to the new Consul.

Part 7: The Great European War 1795-1806 Section 4: The Revolutionary Wars, a fickle Austria and the Fall of France:
“In April 1802 Europe was on a precipice, the established great powers of the continent were threatened by upstart rebels and the rewriting of the traditional rules of warfare.”
The words of the eminent British military historian Major General James Graham in his book, The Great European War 1795-1806.

The Magyar Rebellion finally ended in May 1802, with the Austrian and Hungarian Equality Declaration issued by Charles I on the 4th that created the Austro-Hungarian Empire with Austrians and Hungarians as equal partners in the ruling of the nation. This declaration pacified the Magyar rebels and restored peace to the nation. However, the Magyar Rebellion ended Austrian involvement in the Great European War. Austrian forces withdrew from Saxony, leaving the nation under total Prussian occupation, and Charles I and Louis XVI signed the Treaty of Paris on the 17th June 1802. Under the Treaty of Paris:

1. Peace was declared between Austria, Poland-Lithuania, Spain and France.
2. Liege was annexed by the Grand Duchy of Belgium.
3. The Kingdom of the Rhine and the Grand Duchy of Belgium were released from the Holy Roman Empire.
4. The Empire of the Spanish is recognised as the legitimate government of Spain and its colonies.

Charles I signed this treaty most unwilling, but the situation he was faced with forced him to do so. The Treaty of Paris was also very unpopular with Austria’s other allies and also with the other members of the Holy Roman Empire. They felt that Charles I had not upheld their interests and, by letting Belgium and the Kingdom of the Rhine leave the Holy Roman Empire, had weakened the integrity of the Holy Roman Empire. In fact, many of the German states now felt that the Holy Roman Empire was a redundant system that no longer afforded its members protection.

Also in June 1802 the French attempted to continue the German Offensive by marching into Saxony from Coburg. This time they encountered serious Prussian resistance, as the Prussian Imperial Council (Blücher’s government) had brought in mass conscription for the first time, the French fought bravely but only advanced as far as Rudolstadt before being forced to stop by their losses. However, half (approximately) of Germany had been merged into the Kingdom of the Rhine. In Hannover, the British were clamping down on the Hanoverian rebels, besieging the city of Celle in July 1802 and capturing it 3 months later. In Mecklenburg-Schwerin, however the rebels were going from strength to strength and controlled the eastern half of the Duchy by September 1802, the rest was occupied by the Prussians the following month to ‘restore order’.

Down in Italy the fight between Venice and Sardinia continued. Venice held the upper hand and began to advance further into Sardinia in October 1802, scoring several victories over Sardinian forces. The Venetians were riding high and, led by a tactical genius and Sardinian defector named Napoleone di Buonaparte, reached Turin in January 1803. The Battle of Turin was the final showdown on between the Venetians and Sardinians on the Italian mainland. The Venetian army outflanked the Sardinian force and routed them. The Sardinians fled the field leaving Venice as masters of Turin. This was a major victory for them, but their advance stopped there. The Venetians held the northern regions of Piedmont but could get no further south than Turin (apart the areas they had already conquered).

In February 1804 the British ended their involvement in the Great European War. George III was fed up of the continuing drain on the nation’s manpower, resources and public moral that the Great European war had on Britain. Thus, he offered to sign a peace with Louis XVI. Louis XVI accepted and on the 19th February 1804 the Peace of Calais was signed. Just as the Treaty of Paris had done, the Peace of Calais angered the remaining Grand Coalition combatants, namely Prussia and the Italian states and so Blücher personally travelled to Vienna to attempt to convince Charles I to re-join the war. He offered Charles I the Blücher Plan for Europe in the event of Austro-Prussian victory. Under the Blücher Plan:

1. The states of Germany would be reconfigured for maximum benefit to the Austro-Hungarian and Prussian benefit.
2. Charles I and Blücher would sign the Treaty of Berlin-Vienna that would re-form a Austro-Prussian alliance.

Charles I accepted Blücher’s offer if, and only if, Blücher allowed Frederick William, son of the murdered Frederick William II, to become king of Prussia once he became of age. Blücher, desperate for allies against the French accepted and would serve as Regent of Prussia until Frederick William’s 18th birthday. Blücher and Charles I subsequently signed the Treaty of Berlin-Vienna, on the 4th March 1804, confirming the Austro-Prussian alliance and containing assurance that Blücher would step down as ruler of Prussia upon Frederick William’s 18th birthday.

Immediately following the signing of the Treaty of Berlin-Vienna, Austria’s armies re-entered the Great European War against France, with the invasion of the Kingdom of the Rhine. The return of Austria to fray, after a 7 month absence, changed the course of the war but just because of the added numbers they brought. The renewed Austrian involvement finally forced the French introduce mass conscription, just as the Prussians had done, and this was the last straw for the French people and in April 1804 riots broke out in Paris, Toulouse, Lyon and other major cities. People thronged the streets protesting against the war and the king, chanting “À bas le roi!” (Down with the King!) and “Arrêtez l'abattage!” (Stop the slaughter!). This continued for several months as the Austrian and Prussian advanced into the Kingdom of the Rhine, with many Germans flocking to the Austrian and Prussian banners as they marched. By September 1804 things were at breaking point in France, soldiers were deserting the army in droves, protestors demonstrated day and night in all the major cities of France and even the King’s inner circle feared that they were watching the greatest collapse of a nation seen in living memory.

Their fears were justified, Austria’s return had unmasked the frailty of France’s hold over the Kingdom of the Rhine and it was now clear that this ambitious, and revolutionary, tactic had back fired. France had overstretched itself and now its empire was crumbling. The Austrians and the Prussians raced through Rhineland, scarcely having to stop and fight as German conscripts deserted the French armies en masse. By April 1805 the Austrians, under General Joseph von Klenau had reached the French border, whilst the Prussians, under Blücher himself were marching on Belgium. The Dutch, meanwhile, also returned to the fight (whilst they never signed a peace treaty the Dutch and French had come to a standstill) invading Belgium from the north. Brussels, and Belgium, fell at the start of June 1805 to a combined Dutch and Prussian attack. The Austrians, meanwhile, had reached Nancy, having captured Strasbourg, Andlau and Metz. The Venetians too were invading France, this time in the south. On top of that, a rebellion had begun in Occitania. This rebellion, almost certainly backed by the Spanish, had begun in Toulouse in May 1805, before spreading out like wildfire. They captured Albi and Castras in June, Auch, Foish and Carcassone the July and Narbonne the following month. France was literally collapsing.

“The fall of France was inevitable, they had tried to grab too much, too fast”
The words of the Austrian historian Franz von Essen in the book The Fall of France in 1804-1806: How and Why?

The French stubbornly fought on, evening the winning the Battles of Reims, Lyons and Senlis, but its collapse was unstoppable. Marshall Davout and a band of generals launched a coup to overthrow Louis XVI in September 1805 and stormed the Versailles Palace on the 15th September at midnight. They caught the king ‘unawares’ and Davout executed him on the spot. The following morning, the Republic of France was proclaimed by Davout and his allies. This new republic seized control of much of area surrounding France over the next month. All the while, however, the Austrians and their allies marched ever further into France. The Occitanian rebels also continued to get more and more powerful. Despite all this the death of France was long and painful. Each city that was taken cost more and more men each time and towns and villages descended into bloody fighting amongst themselves. As the months went by the situation in France only got worse, by February all of France was, either, under foreign occupation or controlled by the Occitanians or Davout’s Republic of France. In late February, Charles I sent envoys to all the major European powers and the French rebels offering to hold a congress in Vienna to sort out what to do with Europe now the war was all but over. Davout was, at first, reluctant as he had hoped to forcefully re-unite France, but he eventually realised that he had no hope of doing so against Austria, Holland, Prussia, Venice and the Occitanian rebels.

Then, on 1st March 1806, the powers of Europe, and the French rebels, met in Vienna to iron out a new map of Europe. The negotiations were long and rowdy, with Davout and Blücher clashing spectacularly in the over the table, eventually forcing Charles I to act as a go-between for them. The Venetian representative, the hero of the capture of Turin Napoleone di Buonaparte, was also particularly forthcoming as he demanded huge tracts of Sardinian land to be cede to Venice. Charles I had other ambitions he aimed to create a Europe where there would never again be the need for such bloodshed as had been seen over the last 11 years. Unsurprisingly, however, he blamed France for the war and thus swore to permanently incapacitate the French nation. Blücher, who had always hated the French and was furious with Davout, also supported Charles I’s plan, as did many of the German representatives who had been under France’s thumb in the Kingdom of the Rhine. Thus the Treaty of Vienna was signed on the 3rd April 1806. Under this Treaty:

1. France partitioned into the Republic of France, under Davout as Prime Minister, and the Republic of Occitania with the rebel leader, Pau Soler, as Prime Minister.
2. The Grand Duchy of Belgium lost its western half to the Netherlands and was incorporated into the new Kingdom of the Rhine. (see below)
3. All Sardinian land north of the River Po ceded to Venice, which was renamed North Italy.
4. The Holy Roman Empire was dissolved. This was included as, during the war, it had demonstrated that it had little or no power over its members any more.
5. The Kingdom of the Rhine was partitioned into five areas:
• The Kingdom of the Rhine, an area in the west that followed the Rhine River. Its purpose was to provide a powerful barrier to any future French expansion.
• The Grand Duchy of Württemberg, another nation created solely for the purpose of blocking the French in the future.
• The Grand Duchy of Saxony-Wurzburg, this Grand Duchy was assigned to the Electorate of Saxony, whose nation would be annexed by Prussia.
• All east of the Danube was added to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
• The coastal regions were added to Hannover.
6. Prussia annexes Saxony and half of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
7. Some border changes between Austria and Venice.
8. Areas of Crimea west of the Dneipr ceded to Poland by the Ottomans.

Following the Treaty of Vienna all of the German states, at least in theory, were capable of defending themselves against foreign invasion. This was a significant change. However, the most significant change in the political landscape of Europe was the crippling of France, Britain had objected, fearing a Habsburg Hegemony of Europe (what with their re-gaining of the Spanish crown), but they had been overruled by the German states. This greatly angered the British and ended their alliance with Austria.

Nice update so to understand the Grand Duchy of Belgium was created as part of the Treaty of Paris in 1802 but was partition between the Netherlands and the Kingdom of the Rhine in the Treaty of Vienna of 1806, also is the Kingdom of the Rhine this universe version of the Confederation of the Rhine.

that is correct.

The original one was, yeah. But the new one is different.

[lordroel]

So is Blücher going to crown himself king, becoming the universe Napoleon or will somebody of royal blood try to claim the throne, also it seems Prussia is back into businesses as a regional power.

And when was he born as that will give Blücher time to shape Prussia into shape, also i do not think Blücher will step down after the young prince has become king, could he become a early version of Bismarck.

So Blucher can remain regent until 1813, that gives him some years to rule.

Also is there any way that a map is available, i would love to see how the world of 1806 looks like.
