Paris,France
Feburary 7,1782
In The days following the revolution King Louis XVI had attempted to escape to the Austrian Netherlands but was caught in response him and his wife, Marie Antoinette were declared traitors to the revolution and they were marked for execution the reign of terror was in full swing a revolutionary calender was also created firstly. Their ally the Dutch abolished the Dutch Republic and became a confederation,executing their statholder Prince of Orange William V and his Wife Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia in response Prussia Declared war on the Dutch.
France followed up by Declaring war on Prussia and Premptively declaring war on Austria as well,
The Dutch did the same in goodwill.
Verdun,France
March 9,1782
Despite the initial tensions he war had been a slow war especially due to King Fredrick II of Prussia died prematurely earlier in the year however an Prussian Army had crossed over from Alsace beginning Striking the New Republic where they met their Army near Verdun.
The Prussians and their Allies numbered around 35,000 and began to strike they attempted to cross the fire but French Artilery severely weakened their river crossing.
The French Numbered around 32,000, their 10,000 strong Cavalry outmanuvered and surrounded the Prussians around the Meuse destorying the right flank Surronding gthe force and destroying the Prussian Army.
The Victory Galvanized the French.
Since the War began Britain supported the Coalition but was not openly in the war until the execution of King Louis XVI leading to the Declaration of War by Britain.
Calais,Great Britain.
March 10,1782
A British force of around 20,000 Had landed at Calais and another one of 15,000 at Rouen. French shore batteries were used to interfere with supply cross-channel.
The first French Force numbering Around 25,000 began with a shelling of around 40 artilery pieces into the Calais Ville allowing the French to capture the area the road and the port itself. A smaller French force moved through Picardy and arrived cutting off the 20,000 British Soldiers inside the city who were demolished by the guns they surrendered by the end of the month.
Rouen,Great Britain
March 15,1782
Compared to Rouen, The siege of Calais was heaven.
The siege began when British forces had began unloading shelling from all sides began as the encircled British enclave many of the ships were damaged but the Royal Navy had defeated the French Fleet but the shore batteries once more forced the Royal Navy to retreat back cross-channel.
The British Force was demolished after the Artilery street to street fighting began the attrition of the battle wrecked through the British rank and file with their battalions being around 30% strength before the final day of the battle on the 17th The French began setting fire to British fortifacations which forced them out into the open city which they were mowed down.
Britain was ashamed of it's lackluster Performence but Britain would be back
Charleroi,Austrian Netherlands
April 5,1782
France had been holding their ground against the Austro-Prussian Alliance and now they had a force of 50,000 strong to avenge their defeat in Rouen War,
French cavalry numbering 20,000 began their strike following the French crossing the river seizing the outeroads however the Austrians held them in the north despite that French forces surged through the center with the Austrians in the south encircled between French forces they were toast however the Austrians managed to encircle French forces advancing north slowing down the battle with the Austrians slowly pushing back the French however French reinforcements entered from the North-West sealing the deal for the Austrians forcing them to retreat up to Namur abandoning most of the Austrian Netherlands to avoid Dutch forces encircling them to the north.
Caen,France
April 21,1782
The Rensembled British Army numbered 50,000 and they had landed near the French City of Caen capturing the city They had advanced down River their first victory however it was shortlived.
French forces retook Caen on the 27th leaving the British encircled however they fought hard here resisting the French Attacks straining their forces however lack of supply forced their Surrender
Hanover, Hanover
April 22,1782
French Action against the Coalition forced the Dutch into action to avoid being subordinated,
They needed new markets as the British Occupied, Guiana, The Antilles,Cape,The East Indies.
The Dutch Economy needed this trade to survive so they ha a strategy pressure Hanover to Pressure the King and his Allies in London into surrender however the Whig Government would be a problem none the Less the Dutch Engaged Hanoverian and British Forces at Emden.
Arriving at the CIty with some French aid to their slight ire they began to storm the city Dutch Artilery and riverfleets moved through cutting British supply as the Royal Navy was focused on the Channel allowing them to dominate the stream allowing for Dutch Marines to encircle then destory their forces near the coast before moving in across the southwestern roads into the city 10 pieces of Artilery broke a fort allowing the Dutch and French to swarm the area.
Franco-Spanish Border
April 30,1782
Spanish forces crossed the border but were turned back against vicious French Defense and were driven back towards Barcelona after this Spain and France signed Peace so did Tuscany. Savoy as well ceding territories including the county of Nice. The Coalition fell into Ruin Especially however Prussia Austria and Britain moved against the French.
Hanover,Hanover
May 19, 1782
The Whigs knew they needed a victory or they would stand no chance in elections so they sent reinforcements landing in Hamburg soon arriving at the city of Hanover,
The Royal Navy was now Focused learning from what a brown water fleet could down and they spilt the occupying Dutch in half with the majority cut off from supply lines, The Royal Navy began to shell the Dutch and use Artilery pieces to destroy them as lame ducks in the city before a 5,000 man strong company of Royal Marines captured an outlying road allowing for British forces to smight the Dutch forcing them to retreat back to the Border Town of Emden.
Mainz,Rhine-Palatinate
June 7,1782
The French Riverfleet had cut off the city but as this was regular tactics of theirs however what surprised the Prussians was The French took the high casualty risk storming the center instead of their "exposed" flanks despite the high casulty rate (30%) the French did shatter the Prussian Defense allowing for the encirclement of the Austrians at Namur and Capture of the West Bank of the Rhine.

Couldn't Find Artist if you do tell me so I can credit them.
Following the Rise of the Hebertistes and the reign of terror, The Army and the young-star Jean Moreau who was famous after his victories in the \
Austrian Netherlands and the Rhine. Began looking towards the issue of the economy began offering the military to pave roads and such basic things to aid France however he began isolating his rivals and consolidating The Military under his Influnece for his vision of the Republic despite being a sincere Republican he say the chaos and rising influence of the radicals and decided he had to act soon gathering his allies notably Joseph Fouche. When more moderate members invited the Military to aid they did arresting and killing radicals
They soon launched a Coup the Thermidorian Reaction and the White Terror.
however during this The Army began to purge these radicals and Royalists, and unfriendly minorities.
The new Government had a problem Their economy was dying they had almost no outside trade and Royalists revolts and the People could starve However He had came to conclusion following the stress after the coup, France had to be processed and Stabilized before democracy could return right?.
So he Set upon his goals first he would have to force Austria out Completely.
Po River Valley,Habsburg Italy and Venice
July 11,1782
Following the Fall of Turin Moreau left loyal subordinates in control of France while he advanced after he crossed the Alps his forces met the Austrians at Milan He decided that the French Cavalry would be the most important factor and he used it to to surprise the Austrians Instead of the Austrian flank being striked the Cavarly struck near an Austrian Blindspot and Bypassed them entirely allowing French Infantry to Follow and surrond the Austrians in Milan while the Rest of the Po River Valley was now wide open.
Nonetheless the siege did not begin with the Austrians cut off from supply and faced from assault on all sides their army of 40,000 surrendered and the weak Venice which couldn't defend itself from Britain or any foreign power quickly fell and was occupied the First Cispalpine Republic and the Po Republic however quickly the Austrians were still in a safe position forcing the French to cross the Alps as the Two Pronged Army crossed the Alps and defeated the Austrians at Graz Archduke Joseph capitulated and France was at peace with all of Continetal Europe except Britain and the Ottomans.
Several Dutch Colonies and North Sea
April-December 1782
"Britain was going to break the Dutch No Matter What NO MATTER WHAT!
The British Started their Delightfull Campaign by showing up to Amsterdam and blowing up much of the Dutch fleet however much of t was also not the (on patrol)
as the Dutch were returned their colonies as following the Dutch Revolution in order to not shakeup the landscape to much by now the damage to European Stability was irreversible. Edmund Burke also knew his Whigs needed a victory or his faction would die so he began following the Victory in Hanover was a sigh of relief.
First the Naval Campaign cut off Dutch Trade and following the death of a Prussian Princess the HRE cut all ties next to truly get the Dutch out of foreign markets The British Started this by sailing to Japan and demanding the Dutch trade port be either given up to the British or they would take it the Shogun Refused and British Royal Marines arrived at Edo Forcing him to concede then in the East Indies they worked to create an anti Dutch Coalition and began an leapfrogging campaign to destroy the Dutch East Indies with them seizing Jakarta than Java then Sumatra before the Straits of Malacca then the rest of Indies
The Antilles,Cape, And Suriname fell next.
The British Resorted t devaluing the new Dutch currency copper clipping and all making it worthless than to finish this Off the Dutch and French Lost the Battle of Emden leading to the fall of much of Frisia.
Luckily for the British Whigs who were tired of constant war and Moreau who wanted peace used his influence to began negotiations between Britain and France. Spain,Hanover and the Netherlands were invited as well.

John Adams was returning home from a session of the Massachusetts Colonial Assembly when the news reached him peace had been achieved however he worried a repeat of the events after the French and Indian war Britain couldn't possibly just recover quickly after such a catastrophic loss of men he hoped they could loot the Dutch Colonies however as the North American Parliment assembled to find the British issued several taxes to pay they were outraged and tensions with Britain rose,however as A routine British garrison and A New Hampshire colonial regiment exchanged fire luckily level headed figures came to address the crisis drafting a bill that in exchange for heavier taxes trade restrictions would be abolished in some cases and weakened in others also it drafted a plan where the Colonies would be deeper connected and the American Parliment would gain strength colonies would also dismantle their Minutemen finally,however this would have to wait.
Shawnee Territory
March 11,1783
Blue Jacket(1) was a war chief however he convinced members of his tribe and people to send envoys to Philidelphia and London to stop the settlers however the Europeans simply didn't care, After hearing about a great Revolt against the French "Tribal Chief"(2) he decided he would send an envoy to the French.
Luckily the envoy arrived when the War of the First Coalition ended, so during his time there he organized support for his tribe a few instructors as well as a "guarantee of support" with his instructors he arrived in New Orleans obviously the authorities questioned him when he left and came back however he luckily smuggled some of them in with their weapons that they carried across the Atlantic. despite this many of his instructors and their equipment was captured
Following the creation of the Charlotina and Vandalia colonies(3)In Shawnee territory Blue Jacket
He then began arming and constructing faciliaties for gun production his people were skeptical but he managed to secure support from his chief allowing for the teaching and production of the weapons however by now the British had suspicions of French trickery and began to send search missions.
He formed alliances with he Miamis,Delawares, and Chippewas he even sent a delegation to the Haudenosaunee(4) which they argued for weeks but were leaning towards his side due to New Yorker incroachment.
St.Aelred,Charlotina Colony
April 9,1783
And it began on the 9th When Bluejacket's Alliance began raids across the Charlotina Colony and attacked the largest town St.Aelred(5)
It Began when Gunmen struck the weaker sides of the fort allowing them to raid and burn St.Aelred after this they began an offensive towards the Appalachians the Minutemen divisions while ready on a quick notice French advisors allowed the Native Americans to bypass them using their lack of horses and mountaineers to their advantadge at Greenville(6) Vandalia
Paris,France
April 21,1783
In earnest the Soldat Glorieux(7) endorsed a formation of a directory after the War however Moreau wasn't in charge and didn't lead the directory however he spent the time refining his political skills and began to rally his supporters and stacked his supporters in the National Assembly Guard and purged his rivals in the Military. However he was excluded from the Council as well so he grabbed his supproters. Then the April elections concluded and with the Jacobins taking Power Jean Moreau decided France was not ready for democracy!
French Military Forces began their campaign by allying with the land owner factions in the Dutch Confederation and their military the Free Corps and Overthrew the Dutch government,
Sister Republics in Italy got their governments arrested and replaced by Generals loyal to Moreau, The French Republictried to rally anti Coup forces however Moreau acted quickly Organizing the Soldat Glorieux seizing Roads and the Rhine Wallonia and Luxembourg as well as puting down several royalist insurrections as well as seizing Paris and the Rest of France, Moreau appointed commander in the French carribean quickly supported the coup and the First Republic ended formally with a National Assembly Declaration...
Now France was stabilized following the coup and Europe was no longer in Chaos yet another war was brewing...

Greenville,Vandalia
May 10,1783
General Goerge Washington had left Mt Vernon, A week ago and was tasked with leading British North American forces Washington was known mainly as the starter of the French and Indian war and he had a mission to be the one to end Blue Jacket's war. His Army attempted to cross the Appalchian Mountains however they had met an opposing force of 9,000 of Blue Jackets men Washington numbered 25,000 however he knew they could cause major damage so he spilt his Army with 20,000 of his men lying in wait to surrond and destroy Blue Jacket's Army. The Colonies had given him 25,000 men because two whole colonies had already fallen Charlotina and Vandalia.
Blue Jacket had set Cornstalk(1) to march into Vandalia and take back their territory and threaten Virginia he jumped at the chance to destroy a smaller colonist army he began my striking the weaker right flank allowing him to move in through the middle and spilt the colonists in half however he had fallen for Washington's trap 20,000 men now stormed Cornstalk's position he was completely unprepared and his Army was decimated this victory, saved the remaining colonists of Vandalia and enabled him to reconquer the Colony.
Fort Granville Pennslyvannia
May 26,1783
However despite defeat at the Second Battle of Greenville Cornstalk's army arrived and linked up with Blue Jacket himself now numbering around 13,000 began their east and had crossed the Appalachians and Threatened Pittsburgh causing Many to flee Washington was forced to give 9,000 of his men to Benedict Arnold while he gained 2,000 more his force now numbering 18,000 was not quick enough to prevent the cities fall however he reached Fort Granville(2) before Blue Jacket did and Engaged.
Washington's Cavalry gave him an advantadge so did the Royal Grenadiers the British sent over to aid Natives were decimated which allowed his Minutemen to seal the deal however Native forces routed his Minutemen with Only the established Colonial Milita(3) and the cavalry and Royal Grenadiers held their ground against Blue Jacket's counterattack however the plan still worked when the cavalry broke the Natives and they were picked off the Fort's Defenders also aided with their guns(4) rocking through Native forces.
Shawnee Territory,Blue Jackets League
June 19,1783
The Haudenosaunee saw the writing on the wall after Greenville switching sides and giving small territorial concessions to New York
Blue Jacket was now in panic especially when Benedict Arnold and George Washington linked up and had began a pacification campaign and it was working
Blue Jacket decided to make a last stand at Rock Knob mountain a place where their numbers,cavalry,and artilery would be useless...
Rocky Knob Mountain,Shawnee Territory
July 12,1783
Blue Jacket's forces numbered 5,000 and they were assembled aand prepared when around 10,000 Anglo's stormed the mountain they took heavy Casulties but cleared most of the location the fighting was up and down the range and into where the Shawnees were staying they were devstated during the battle(s) as the Colonials slowly but surely destroyed much of the Shawnee with Blue Jacket himself slain the battle had a high cost

His Army attempted to cross the Appalchian Mountains however they had met an opposing force of 9,000 of Blue Jackets men Washington numbered 25,000 however he knew they could cause major damage so he spilt his Army with 20,000 of his men lying in wait to surrond and destroy Blue Jacket's Army. The Colonies had given him 25,000 men because two whole colonies had already fallen Charlotina and Vandalia.
Blue Jacket had set Cornstalk(1) to march into Vandalia and take back their territory and threaten Virginia he jumped at the chance to destroy a smaller colonist army he began my striking the weaker right flank allowing him to move in through the middle and spilt the colonists in half however he had fallen for Washington's trap 20,000 men now stormed Cornstalk's position he was completely unprepared and his Army was decimated this victory, saved the remaining colonists of Vandalia and enabled him to reconquer the Colony.
Fort Granville Pennslyvannia

However despite defeat at the Second Battle of Greenville Cornstalk's army arrived and linked up with Blue Jacket himself now numbering around 13,000 began their east and had crossed the Appalachians and Threatened Pittsburgh causing Many to flee Washington was forced to give 9,000 of his men to Benedict Arnold while he gained 2,000 more his force now numbering 18,000 was not quick enough to prevent the cities fall however he reached Fort Granville(2) before Blue Jacket did and Engaged.
Washington's Cavalry gave him an advantadge so did the Royal Grenadiers the British sent over to aid Natives were decimated which allowed his Minutemen to seal the deal however Native forces routed his Minutemen with Only the established Colonial Milita(3) and the cavalry and Royal Grenadiers held their ground against Blue Jacket's counterattack however the plan still worked when the cavalry broke the Natives and they were picked off the Fort's Defenders also aided with their guns(4) rocking through Native forces.

Rocky Knob Mountain,Shawnee Territory
July 12,1783
Blue Jacket's forces numbered 5,000 and they were assembled aand prepared when around 10,000 Anglo's stormed the mountain they took heavy Casulties but cleared most of the location the fighting was up and down the range and into where the Shawnees were staying they were devstated during the battle(s) as the Colonials slowly but surely destroyed much of the Shawnee with Blue Jacket himself slain the battle had a high cost

France,Pacte Continetal
April-December 1783
In the Aftermath of the Coup the government was arrested and killed however this had made the Military practically enemies with everyone who wasn't them and their puppets.
They began their "Age of Reform" by banning independent press,prohibiting the use of ethnic languages in France they had taken upon a belief that many in of the French revolutionaries held the minority languages were used by the royalist to subvert the Masses(1) especially as Brittany was a hotbed for Royalists so they introduced the Breton codes banning Breton banning the Tro Breizh(2), Other cultural practices and introducing strict laws dismantling church influence completely in the area. This led to several preist protests which the Soldat Gloriuex, murdered them however that was the last straw,Royalist, Anti-Government Catholics and Breton forces formed a fragile alliance and began A revolt.
Brest,Brittany
December 13,1783
Insurrectionists in Brest as the Government painted them had Marched from Brest to Vannes then attempted to march on French Forces in Rennes,
The French held their ground then used their artilery advantadge in order to drive back the rebels they recaptured three out of four departments Brittany was made out of yet their supply lines were hampered as Breton forces began irregular guerilla hit and run attacks near St.Malo French forces were ambushed before the rebels slipped back into the country side, The Government didn't consider the Bretons to be the largest threat as they had a coalition on their hands however the shaky alliance became dominated by the more independent minded Bretons with the royalists conditionally agreed to tag along.
Piedmontese Republic,Pacte Continetal
Janurary 11,1784
France had decided to annex the Piedmontese Republic and went they went to disarm the Piedmontese Military generally it worked except many units revolted once they heard of annexation as open combat with the French didn't go well for the Bretons they began to adopt irregular tactics as well they began by beginning their operations in the Italian and Swiss Alps however the Soldat Glorieux couldn't allow for this to Continue due to how it would affect French supply lines so they began the Aosta Valley offensive.
The had attempted to storm the mountainous valley despite the Defenses the Piedmontese couldn't win in open combat against the French and were forced to retreat across Piedmont in the Remaining Italian and Swiss Alps in the West as French forces enacted reprisals against the Populations however pro French ethnic Italian armies were created to aid in occupying territory however the regime couldn't trrust the Piedmontese...
Vienna Outskirts,Austria
Janurary 20,1784
With supply lines back up and running French Forces could now restart operations against the Austrians however they didn't want to lose the men to take Vienna just force them into a surrender to not bring in Russia and Prussia, However when Austria refused to surrender history forced their hand.
French forces began attacking the south western sector of the city not wanting to engage in such a deadly river crossing they took heavy losses from fierce fighting eventually on the 21st they forced Austrian forces to retreat from Mauersbach and outlying town, Moreau was stressed his regime couldn't survive a loss this early on especially with Britain to the North and West and the pro British Ottoman Empire to his south,no he had to take the city.
Continuing the Mauersbach French forces took even more losses when the attempted to cross the river to surrond the city here the the Danube was attempted
And it was a Disaster The French forces who participated in the attempted crossing faced heavy Austrian resistance from the start and was completely destroyed by the Austrian Counter Attack severing crossing Detachments luckily Moreau wasn't there or France would have been defeated right there and then he had handed the battle to Bernadotte and returned to France "claiming responsibility for the victory" this irritated many in the Soldat Glorieux clique. Bernadotte won the day right there and then by breaching on the eastern sector cutting off the Austrians taking heavy losses in the process but the Austrian Army was defeated and Archduke Joseph conceded yet Prussia joined the Coalition the same day as the City fell.
Paris,France
Feburary 2,1784
In earnest following victory at the in the Battle of Vienna Moreau expanded his reforms retooling the Royal Marechaussee(3) into the National Gendarmerie he also partially disarmed the National Guard, Before amending the laws requiring both be led by a current serving army Appointee, He also threw the Navy a bone by making it in charge of directing commerce.
Next he began attempting to weaken the crisis in Italy and Brittany by backing spilt off organizations in order to fight rebels for the French.
and took control of transportation services.
Veracruz,New Spain
March 12,1784
General Howes forces numbered around 40,100 and comprised of four divisions, Two Troops(4) and a batallion strong his forces were arrayed such as
3rd Carolinia Division 9,000
5th New York Division 11,000
1st Massachusetts Divison 4,000(5)
6th Virginia Division 15,000
Coldstream Guards 600
200 Horse Grenadier Guards
The Spainish had predicted some sort of landing at Veracruz after all it was the gate to the biggest low hanging fruit possible and that was clear to the Spaniards.
They decided to form three new divisions out of New Spain however only the 21st Veracruz 8,000) and the Veracruz Garrison 3,000) however they did have 35 pieces of artilery.
9:30,March 12
The British began to storm the beaches and the Spanish Openned Fire luckily the Coldstream guards secured a beachead allowing the 24th Richmond regiment to break through allowing for the rest of the Virginia Division to make landfall however when the British landed their Horse Grenadier Guards they were mowed down by Spanish fire however the other disvisons managed to land as well engaging towards the fort, the naval guns gave the supressive fire allowing them to storm the fort however the Spanish had already secured their guns and much ammunition however they couldn't carry all of it back to Mexico City, so they blew up the magazine.
British forces next advanced into Veracruz itself the city quickly fell as the Spanish had retreated to Mexico City the British took Tlaxcala and set up a Mexican colonial government in Veracruz.
Harrisburg,Province of Pennslyvania
March 21,1784
Representives from all English speaking Protestant Colonies with Observers and negotiators for Louisana Quebec,Suriname, and New Brunswick
met in Harrisburg the debates went on for hours until the first few tenants were agreed to then it was negotaited the first tenant of the agreement was British subsidization of colonial Industry and farming next it was conditionally agreed that the Colonies would together send 4 representives to Westminister one for the Middle colonies one for the Southern Colonies One for the Northern Colonies and one for the Catholic colonies(6), the Southern "civilized" would get reservations in exchange for Britain transitioning Louisana from a catholic province to an Anglo Protestant one,next the American Parliment would be strengthened along with all property owning White Men(7) would be allowed to vote and Popular Bald Eagle would be choosen as the new flag along with a crown on top(8). however when both Parliments came to vote on it would be agreed on this:
1. All Property owning White Protestant men could vote(7)
2. The Colonies would be Federated would elect a Premier and A stronger Parliment
3. A General Colonial Army would be created so Britain wouldn't always foot the bill
4. The Colonies would contribute to funding,wars,manpower

French forces began attacking the south western sector of the city not wanting to engage in such a deadly river crossing they took heavy losses from fierce fighting eventually on the 21st they forced Austrian forces to retreat from Mauersbach and outlying town, Moreau was stressed his regime couldn't survive a loss this early on especially with Britain to the North and West and the pro British Ottoman Empire to his south,no he had to take the city.
Continuing the Mauersbach French forces took even more losses when the attempted to cross the river to surrond the city here the the Danube was attempted
And it was a Disaster The French forces who participated in the attempted crossing faced heavy Austrian resistance from the start and was completely destroyed by the Austrian Counter Attack severing crossing Detachments luckily Moreau wasn't there or France would have been defeated right there and then he had handed the battle to Bernadotte and returned to France "claiming responsibility for the victory" this irritated many in the Soldat Glorieux clique. Bernadotte won the day right there and then by breaching on the eastern sector cutting off the Austrians taking heavy losses in the process but the Austrian Army was defeated and Archduke Joseph conceded yet Prussia joined the Coalition the same day as the City fell.
