- Russia joins the Coalition
Per the legacy record, Catherine the Great signed an agreement with Great Britain in September 1796, formally bringing Russia into the coalition fighting France; the supplied passages do not document the accord.
The legacy record states that Empress Catherine the Great signed an agreement with Great Britain formally joining Russia to the coalition arrayed against France during the War of the First Coalition. No supplied passage documents this agreement, so its existence, exact day, and location cannot be verified from this evidence and are recorded as unconfirmed. The passages do establish the coalition's condition at the time: Prussia had retired from active operations by 1795 under the Peace of Basel, leaving Britain as the only member still fighting France in the field.
