Armée des Pyrénées

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of the French Revolutionary armies, the Armée des Pyrénées was created by a decree of the National Convention dated 1 October 1792 and formed out of the right wing of the Armée du Midi. At the outbreak of war with Spain, a decree of 30 April 1793 separated the Armée des Pyrénées into the armée des Pyrénées orientales and the armée des Pyrénées occidentales.[1].
