Germany
In May and June, Moreau invaded across the Southern part of the Rhine with 100,000 men, converging on Bavaria. Gen. Kray's Austrians were completely outflanked and beaten at Stockach, Engen, Messkirch and Biberach, being forced to take refuge in Ulm. A long armistice followed, after which Kray was replaced by the Archduke John, with the Austrian army retiring behind the river Inn. When the armistice ended, John advanced over the Inn towards Munich and Moreau defeated the Austrians overwhelmingly in the forests before the city at Battle of Hohenlinden on 3 December. Moreau began a march on Vienna, and the Austrians soon sued for peace, ending the war on the continent.
