The battle took place in 1792 and was a major victory for the French against Prussia during the Revolutionary Wars. The Constitution of 1791 established a new government that set up a limited monarchy instead of an absolute monarchy. In June 1791, King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette along with their children attempted to escape Paris in disguises, however, they were caught and brought back to France. By 1792, European monarchs were concerned that the revolution could spread to their countries. When the émigrés, former members of the nobility and anti-revolutionaries, arrived in the neighboring countries, they told stories about the chaos of the revolution. The king of Prussia warned the revolutionary French government that if the revolution spread to their country then they would declare war. Other European monarchs made similar threats. France did not want to wait to be attacked so the revolutionary government declared war on Austria in April 1792. They then went on to declare war on Prussia, Britain and other European monarchs.

The Reign of Terror was a period from 1793 until 1794 when the Committee of Public Safety suspended rights guaranteed in the new constitution leading to wide-scale repression.
