They encompass first the French Revolutionary Wars against the newly declared French Republic and from 1803 onwards the Napoleonic Wars against First Consul and later Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. They include the Coalition Wars as a subset: seven wars waged by various military alliances of great European powers, known as Coalitions, against Revolutionary France - later the First French Empire - and its allies.

January 1805: The Porto Viro cut was a major hydraulic project carried out in the Po Delta by the Republic of Venice, begun in 1600, and completed in 1604. From 1200 to 1600 alluvial soils advanced 25 meters a year; 70 in the 16th and 17th centuries. If before 1600 the Delta expanded by about 53 hectares a year, from 1604 to 1840 it passed to 135 hectares a year. The formation of new territories continued further. In the 19th century, with the introduction of steam pumps, large reclamation works were carried out which, accompanied by the construction of imposing embankments, definitively subtracted large tracts of land from the marsh.
