The major forces in the Italian theater…

April 1809 CE

The major forces in the Italian theater on the outbreak of war in April 1809 are the Franco-Italian army of the Viceroy of Italy, Eugène de Beauharnais and the Austrian army of General der Kavallerie Archduke John of Austria.

In addition, General of Division Marmont commands a French corps in occupation of Dalmatia.

At the end of the War of the Third Coalition on December 26, 1805, the Treaty of Pressburg had awarded the former Austrian provinces of Istria and Dalmatia to the French puppet Kingdom of Italy.

Since that time, Marmont has administered the region.

Because Marmont's troops had trained with the Grande Armée at the Camp de Boulogne (as the old II Corps) and missed the bloody battles of the War of the Fourth Coalition, Napoleon considers the unit his "finest corps".
