[edit] History
Under the command of Johann Rudolf von Graffenried the Bernese triumphed over numerically superior French troops under Brigadier General Pigeon at Neuenegg on March 5 , 1798. However, after the Bernese defeat that same day at the Battle of Grauhoz, the collapse of the Ancien Régime could no longer be avoided. These combat operations of the Bernese were illegal under international law because the government had already collapsed.
