Claude Chappe's semaphore line in 1794 informs Parisians of the capture of Condé-sur-l'Escaut from the Austrians less than an hour after it had occurred.

Other lines are built, including a line from Paris to Toulon.

The system will be widely copied by other European states, and will be used by Napoleon to coordinate his empire and army.
