It was also low on morale. It was this army that Napoleon picked up by the scruff of its neck and turned into the effective fighting force that would conquer northern Italy. It was to be the beginning of a long road to glory for Napoleon and France, and indeed, many have said that this, his first campaign in command, was his most brilliant. Nevertheless it only created a peace that was to last for two years and the year 1800 saw Napoleon once again fighting in Italy but with the dramatic victory at Marengo on the 14th June, he secured France’s dominance of Austria in both central Europe and Italy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
