Historic Note:    The Battle of Hohenlinden was fought on 3 December 1800, during the French Revolutionary Wars.   A French army under Jean Victor Marie Moreau won a decisive victory over the Austrians and Bavarians led by Archduke John of Austria.   After being forced into a disastrous retreat, the allies were compelled to request an armistice that effectively ended the War of the Second Coalition. Hohenlinden is 33 km east of Munich in modern Germany.   General of Division (MG) Moreau's 56,000 strong army engaged some 64,000 Austrians and Bavarians.   The Austrians, believing they were pursuing a beaten enemy, moved through heavily wooded terrain in four disconnected columns. Instead, Moreau ambushed the Austrians as they emerged from the Ebersberg forest while launching MG Antoine Richepanse's division in a surprise envelopment of the Austrian left flank.   Displaying superb individual initiative, Moreau's generals managed to encircle and smash the largest Austrian column.   This crushing victory, coupled with First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte's victory at the Battle of Marengo on 14 June 1800, ended the War of the Second Coalition.   In February 1801, the Austrians signed the Treaty of Lunéville, accepting French control up to the Rhine and the French puppet republics in Italy and the Netherlands.   The subsequent Treaty of Amiens between France and Britain began the longest break in the wars of the Napoleonic period.
