This thesis analyzes the Siege of Toulon in 1793, its military and tactical aspects, and its role in Napoleon Bonaparte’s emergence on the political and military stage. It examines the artillery strategy employed during the siege, the capture of Cape Éguillette, and the factors that led to the withdrawal of the Anglo-Spanish fleet. The thesis also highlights the significance of this victory for Bonaparte’s subsequent military career.
