The Liège Revolution, sometimes known as the Happy Revolution ((フランス語:Heureuse Révolution), (ワロン語:Binamêye revolucion)), started on 18 August 1789 and lasted until the destruction of the Republic of Liège and re-establishment of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège by Austrian forces in 1791. The Liège Revolution was concurrent with the French Revolution and its effects were long-lasting and eventually led to the abolition of the Bishopric of Liège and its final annexation by French revolutionary forces in 1795. ==Timeline== The Liège Revolution was a troubled period – in 6 years the city's inhabitants moved from an episcopal regime to French rule, via a short-lived Liège Republic and several restorations of episcopal rule. To better understand the Revolution, it is thus necessary to give a timeline: *1772 : Velbrück is made prince-bishop of Liège, he encourages the arts and new ideas until his death in 1784. *1784 : Hoensbroeck replaces Velbrück as prince-bishop, he is much more authoritarian and reactionary than his predecessor. *1789 : Revolution breaks out simultaneously in Paris and Liège. Hoensbroeck flees to Germany and the Liège Republic is proclaimed. *1791 : First restoration – the Austrian army puts Hoensbroeck back in power and most supporters of the Republic go into exile in Paris. *1792 : Hoensbroeck dies and is replaced by François-Antoine-Marie de Méan who has to make a quick escape after the battle of Jemappes, which enables French troops under Dumouriez to take control of the Principality of Liège and the Austrian Netherlands. *1793 : The citizens of Liège vote for the Principality to be annexed by France, but the Austrians defeat the French at the Battle of Neerwinden and put a prince-bishop back in charge of Liège. *1794 : In the battles of Fleurus and Sprimont, the French recapture the principality. *1795 : The French National Convention endorses the principality's incorporation into France. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liège Revolution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
