The Battle of Neerwinden saw the major defeat of a French republican army by an allied force of Austrians and Dutch during the War of the First Coalition (1792-97), part of the broader French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802). The battle drove the French from Belgium and led French General Charles-François Dumouriez (1739-1823) to defect to the Austrians. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original definition at [https://www.worldhistory.org/Battle\_of\_Neerwinden/](https://www.worldhistory.org/Battle_of_Neerwinden/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - Anything here you'd push back on? - Have you come across a different take on this topic? - Is there anything you'd change or add?
