France (still a constitutional monarchy) declared war on Prussia and Austria in 1792 for various reasons, among them French concerns about counter-revolutionary emigres in German-speaking countries and in the Austrian Netherlands, and fear that Austria and Prussia might intervene in French affairs (either to support Louis XVI or to take advantage of the internal dissent).
