The French army, carrying out Bonaparte's plan…

April 1794 CE

The French army, carrying out Bonaparte's plan in the Battle of Saorgio in April 1794, advances northeast along the Italian Riviera, then turns north to seize Ormea in the mountains.

From Ormea, they thrust west to outflank the Austro-Sardinian positions around Saorge.

As a result, the coastal towns of Oneglia and Loano as well as the strategic Col de Tende (Tenda Pass) fall into French hands.

Later, Augustin Robespierre sends Bonaparte on a mission to the Republic of Genoa to understand that country's intentions towards France.
