When Napoleon led his army across the Alps in May 1800, he executed a surprise maneuver against the Austrians during the War of the Second Coalition. The crossing was challenging due to harsh weather and rugged terrain, but Napoleon's forces successfully navigated the mountains. This strategic move allowed him to rapidly descend into northern Italy, culminating in the decisive Battle of Marengo, where he secured a significant victory. This campaign solidified his reputation as a military genius and helped to consolidate his power in France.
