In 1799, amid the War of the Second Coalition, an Anglo-Russian force landed in the Netherlands to overthrow the Batavian Republic and restore stadtholder William V of Orange. Five major engagements followed, involving British, French, Dutch, and Russian forces. Drawing on sources from all four nations, this study reconstructs the campaign as a dynamic interplay of military action, political manoeuvre, intelligence operations, and diplomatic tension—an episode that both forged and fractured reputations while challenging coalition cohesion.
