During the French Revolutionary Wars, the revolutionary armies marched eastward, enveloping Switzerland in their battles against Austria. In 1798 Switzerland was completely overrun by the French and became the Helvetic Republic. The Helvetic Republic encountered severe economic and political problems. In 1798 the country became a battlefield of the Revolutionary Wars, culminating in the Battles of Zürich in 1799.
The below battle Scene from 1798 comes following the rejection of a new constitution proposed by Napoleon. The French Revolution was not popular in such an agricultural area as Nidwalden as it was attacked by French troops on 9 September 1798. Mass destruction was caused and at least 400 people were killed.
