Savoy's annexation to France (1792)

The incorporation of Savoy into France in 1792 refers to the "reunion," as termed by the decree, or the occupation or "annexation," as described by historians, of the Duchy of Savoy to the French First Republic, decreed on November 27, 1792. This decision followed a report by the deputy from Loir-et-Cher, Father Henri Grégoire. Savoy remained part of France until 1815, with its permanent annexation occurring in 1860 through the Annexation of Savoy.
