The Battle of Hondschoote, fought on 6-8 September 1793, was a major turning point in the Flanders Campaign of 1792-1795 during the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802). An army of the First French Republic defeated an Anglo-Hanoverian force commanded by the Duke of York, thereby relieving the Siege of Dunkirk, and potentially saving the French Revolution (1789-1799) from early destruction. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2137/battle-of-hondschoote/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #ReignOfTerror #FirstCoalition #FrenchRevolution
