The Army of the Kingdom of Italy, active from 1805 to 1814, was a land army created by the Viceroy of Italy Eugène de Beauharnais. Under the First Empire, the vassal states of Napoleonic France, particularly the Kingdom of Italy, endeavored to establish an army. In Italy, this project was carried out in line with the expectations of Eugène de Beauharnais, General of the Empire and Viceroy of the country, where conscription had been established in 1802 by the Italian Republic. The organization of such an army also aimed to free itself from the presence of the French occupation troops, responsible for controlling the territory. Thus, in 1806, 40,000 imperial soldiers were stationed in the Kingdom of Naples. The emergence of national armies not only made it possible to reduce the maintenance costs of the French contingents and to partially guarantee the autonomy of the new kingdoms, but also to create, for the first time, a feeling of unity among the Italian soldiers.
