The present map shows in detail how the geography of the Ligurian Apennines was key to Napoleon's early successes, with the commander taking advantage of a gap that ran from Savona west to the southern end of the Bormida valley. Following Napoleon's strategising and several significant battles, General Colli, in command of the Piedmontese army, sued for peace and on 28 April Piedmont withdrew from the war.
