The Army of Sambre and Meuse was commanded by Jean-Baptiste Jourdan in the French Revolutionary Wars. In the War of the First Coalition (1792–1798), France was pitted against most of the European states sharing its land or water borders. After the inconclusive Rhine campaign of 1795, the French planned a co-ordinated offensive in 1796 using Jourdan's army and the Army of the Rhine and Moselle commanded by his superior, Jean Victor Moreau. The first part of the operation was successful, and by July most of the southern German states had been coerced into an armistice. The Army of Sambre and Meuse maneuvered around northern Bavaria and Franconia, and the Army of the Rhine and Moselle operated in Bavaria.
