Detailed explanation-1: -After Austria refused to recall its troops from the French border and to back down on the perceived threat of using force, France declared war on Austria and Prussia in the spring of 1792; both countries responded with a coordinated invasion that was eventually turned back at the Battle of Valmy in September.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The French declared war on Austria in 1792 because of the changes brought about during the French Revolution. By kicking out the French king Louis and declaring a republic, the other kings of Europe became extremely fearful that a similar revolution could take place in their own nation.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the end, France declared war on Austria first, with the Assembly voting for war on 20 April 1792, after the presentation of a long list of grievances by the newly appointed foreign minister Charles François Dumouriez, who sought a war which might restore some popularity and authority to the King.
Detailed explanation-4: -The causes of the French Revolution can be narrowed to five main factors: the Estate System, absolutism, Enlightenment ideas, food shortages, and the American Revolution. The Estate System placed people into groups based on birth and was known as the Ancien Regime.
Detailed explanation-5: -France was the victor of both wars and hostilities temporarily ended with the Treaty of Amiens in 1802, by which Great Britain recognised the French Republic.
