February 1814 CE

Three Coalition armies are preparing to invade France on the northeastern front; however, by the time that the Six Days' Campaign ends, only two armies have crossed the frontier into France:

    The Army of Bohemia or the Grand Army, with two hundred thousand to two hundred and ten thousand Austrian, Russian, Bavarian, and Wurttemberg soldiers under Prince Felix of Schwarzenberg, had passed through Swiss territory (violating the cantons' neutrality) and crossed the Rhine between Basel and Schafhausen on December 20, 1813.

    The Army of Silesia, with fifty thousand to seventy-five thousand Prussians and Russians under Prince Gebhard von Blücher, had crossed the Rhine between Rastadt and Koblenz on January 1, 1814.

At the same time Wellington has invaded France over the Pyrenees.

Leaving Marshals Soult and Suchet to defend south-west France, Napoleon commands the French resistance in northeast France.
