The new Republic had survived the invasion of France, but taking the offensive presented a different challenge. Follow the campaign from the crisis of 1792 through the difficult assaults on the Austrian heights, the breakthrough that opened the road to Brussels, and the political tensions and military reversal that followed. This episode explores how a victory helped transform French confidence, even as its immediate territorial gains proved short-lived.
