After the revolution overthrew the King of France and set up the Republic, other European kings and emperors became worried that the revolution would spread- that their own people would want to overthrow them too. Additionally, the Holy Roman Emperor was the brother of Queen Marie Antoinette; he issued a declaration that he would punish the French people if they harmed the French King or Queen. French Republican leaders believed that the declaration was a threat.

After the Emperor made his declaration, the French Republic declared war on him and Austria; Austria was ruled by the Emperor's family and also happened to control Belgium, which is right next to France; a lot of French refugees lived in Belgium and the Republic wanted to capture them. Soon thereafter, the Republic executed the king and queen- at which point, pretty much every other country in Europe turned against France.
