Dumouriez had prepared an immediate invasion of the Austrian Netherlands, where he had expected the local population to rise against Austrian rule.

An allied army under Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick, assembles at Koblenz on the Rhine while the revolutionary government frantically raises fresh troops and reorganizes its armies.
