The revolutionary government frantically raises fresh troops…

July 1792 CE

The revolutionary government frantically raises fresh troops and reorganizes its armies while a mostly Prussian Allied army under Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick, assembles at Koblenz on the Rhine.

The duke then issues a proclamation called the Brunswick Manifesto (July 1792), written by the French king's cousin, Louis Joseph de Bourbon, Prince de Condé, the leader of an émigré corps within the Allied army, which declares the Allies' intent to restore the king to his full powers and to treat any person or town who opposes them as rebels to be condemned to death by martial law.

This, however, has the effect of strengthening the resolve of the revolutionary army and government to oppose them by any means necessary.
