Battle of Amsteg (original) (raw)
- The Battle of Amsteg (14–16 August 1799) saw a Republican French division under General of Division Claude Lecourbe face a brigade of Habsburg Austrian soldiers led by General-major Joseph Anton von Simbschen. Lecourbe's offensive began on 14 August when six columns of French infantry advanced on the upper Reuss valley from the north and east. By 16 August, Lecourbe's forces had driven Simbschen's Austrians from the valley and seized control of the strategic Gotthard Pass between Italy and Switzerland. On 4 June, the First Battle of Zurich was fought between André Masséna's French Army of Helvetia and an Austrian army led by Archduke Charles, Duke of Teschen. After the battle, Massena relinquished Zürich and retreated to a strong defensive position to the west of the city. At about the same time, the French commander ordered Lecourbe to abandon the Gotthard Pass and pull back to Lucerne. In August, Masséna had second thoughts and wanted Lecourbe to recapture the Gotthard Pass. The French commander feared an Austro-Russian stroke from Italy across the pass, so he ordered an offensive to occupy the area. Louis Marie Turreau's division advanced northeast from the Canton of Valais in support of Lecourbe. Masséna sent the divisions of Jean-de-Dieu Soult and Joseph Chabran to attack other Austrian positions in order to prevent Archduke Charles from interfering with Lecourbe's main operation. At the end of September 1799, Alexander Suvorov's Russian army had to retake the pass in the Battle of Gotthard Pass. (en)

La ofensiva de Lecourbe comenzó el 14 de agosto, cuando seis columnas de infantería avanzaron sobre el valle superior del Reuss desde el norte y el este. Para el 16 de agosto, las fuerzas de Lecourbe habían expulsado a los austriacos del valle y se habían hecho con el control del estratégico paso de San Gotardo entre Italia y Suiza. El 4 de junio, la Primera Batalla de Zúrich se libró entre el ejército francés de Helvetia de André Masséna y un ejército austriaco dirigido por el archiduque Carlos, duque de Teschen. Después de la batalla, Masséna renunció a Zúrich y se retiró formando una fuerte posición defensiva al oeste de la ciudad. Casi al mismo tiempo, el comandante francés ordenó a que abandonara el Paso de San Gotardo y se retirara a Lucerna. En agosto, Masséna dudo de esta decisión y quería que Lecourbe recapturara el Paso de San Gotardo. El comandante francés temía un ataque austro-ruso desde Italia a través del paso, por lo que ordenó una ofensiva para ocupar el área. La división de Louis Marie Turreau avanzó hacia el noreste desde el Cantón de Valais en apoyo de Lecourbe. Masséna envió las divisiones de Jean de Dieu Soult y para atacar otras posiciones austriacas a fin de evitar que el archiduque Carlos interfiera con la operación principal de Lecourbe. A finales de septiembre de 1799, el ejército ruso de Alexander Suvorov tuvo que volver a tomar el paso en la . (es)
