[edit] UK vs. GB

Isn't United Kingdom here an anachronism? The First Coalition predates the 1801 Act of Union. -- Jmabel 06:59, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It was the United Kingdom of Great Britain at that time, Mr. Mabel. (anon 22 May 2005)
Wow, a response 15 months after I asked. But I believe that's wrong. According to our article United Kingdom, the term United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland dates from 1798, before the 1801 Act of Union, but still too late for the First Coalition. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:32, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Starting date

We say 1792, but e also say afer the execution of Louis XVI (1793). Someone care to sort this out? - Jmabel | Talk 00:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that the war started in 1792 when France declared war, but the coalition did not form until 1793. By consistancy with the other 'war of the Xth coalition' pages, we have a bit of a problem either saying that the war began before the coalition formed, or that there were a bunch of battle in the same campaigns but not part of the same war. Perhaps we need to rename the page to be the same as the other coalition pages? -Gomm 02:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
