In 1793 a French fleet approached the Gulf of Cagliari; Sardinians organised their own defence and defeated the landing force.
In 1793 a French fleet carrying soldiers moved toward the Gulf of Cagliari. Since most House of Savoy troops were fighting the French on the European mainland, the Sardinians organised their own defence. A French army landed on Poetto beach and advanced toward Cagliari, but was defeated by Sardinians who chose to defend themselves against the revolutionary army.
