Napoleon was on the verge of defeat when General Desaix arrived with fresh troops and launched a dramatic counterattack that shattered the advancing Austrian army. Desaix was killed leading the charge that reversed the battle's outcome, but his sacrifice turned a near-disaster into a decisive French victory. Marengo secured Napoleon's political position as First Consul, drove Austria from northern Italy, and cemented his reputation as a military genius who could snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
