Historical background
ITALY - PIEDMONT REPUBLIC
(1798-1799)
On December 5, 1798, France declared war on the King of Sardinia and on the 8th, French troops occupied Turin. The Piedmontese Republic was proclaimed on December 10 but only lasted six months. The weak French garrison, locked up in Turin, must surrender to General Souvarov, commander of the Austro-Russian armies. After the victory of Marengo (June 14, 1800), Piedmont returns again to France.
