PEACE

The war is ended on march 15th, 1800 on the conditions of a treaty drafted by General Joubert. As a result of the treaty, France gained Piedmont as a Province. Austria would have Helvetic Republic and Venice as allies.

At the time that the war ended, the armies were deployed as follows:

General Joubert had fallen back to Baden and Wurtemburg. He was poised to sieze Wurtzburg, Ansbach, Hesse Darmstadt, and the Rhine within days if the Austrians left him free rein.

At Munich, the besieged French had approximately 12,500 infantry and 8,000 cavalry. The Austrians maintained a force of perhaps 63,500 infantry and 11,500 cavalry. It might have surrendered any day.

Archduke Louis had ordered Resiner's column (40,000 men) to march south toward Trent, which they were expected to arrive at sometime around March 18th.

Archduke John was just arriving in the Rhine theater at Salzburg. The siege at Munich had paralyzed the Austrian army of Bavaria but they were anxious to resume the offensive, should the armistice have not been ratified.

Archduke Charles had managed to get himself into what might have proven to be an excellent strategic position. He had 38,000 weary troops at Padua. The Rohan Column is only 7000 conscript cavalry.

The 2nd Lyon Corps at Mestre was perhaps 30,000. The retreating 1st Lyon is now only 17,000.

Estimated French strength at Venice is 48000 infantry and 16000 cavalry.
Estimated Allied strength at Venice is 33500 infantry and 4000 cavalry.
