Hi,

Your answer:

It reminds me of June 29, 1793, day of what will be called the "Battle of Nantes": one of the key moments of the Vendée war. It is a defeat of the Vendeans, commanded by Cathelineau, in front of the troops of the Republic - defeat that will make say to the terrible Turreau, republican leader: "The siege of Nantes is perhaps the most important event of our Revolution."

Who started the fight?

In fact, on June 20, the command of the Catholic and Royal Army sent to the Republicans, entrenched in Nantes, an ultimatum. Not having obtained satisfaction, he will fix the assault on the "city of the dukes of Brittany" in the early hours of June 29th. Only the army of Cathelineau is stranded by a fight, thirty kilometers from Nantes; and when, as originally planned, Charette had the cannon fired against the south of the city, the troops planned for the assault were not yet in place. All is bad, therefore, for the Vendeans, who at midday will stop their assault against the Republicans.

Hope this help.
