HOHENLINDEN, BATTLE OF. In this battle on Dec. 3, 180o, Moreau turned the tables on the Austrians, who had planned his encirclement, and, destroying them by an able counter manoeuvre, struck the decisive blow of the campaign in Germany. The result, combined with Napoleon's victory at Marengo in Italy, led to the peace of Luneville which ended the war of the Second Coalition. For an account of the battle see FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY WARS.
