Liège Revolution

1789–1791 · 18th century

The Liège Revolution began in August 1789, when citizens drove out Prince-Bishop Hoensbroeck, installed new magistrates and later proclaimed a republic. It was suppressed by Austrian troops in January 1791, but the French revolutionary armies returned in 1792 and 1794, and the principality was annexed to France in 1795.
