Moreau wins at Hohenlinden
On 3 December 1800, in snowy forest east of Munich, the French general Jean-Victor Moreau routed an Austrian and Bavarian army nominally led by the young Archduke John. The defeat drove Austria out of the War of the Second Coalition and led to the Treaty of Lunéville in February 1801.
