Abstract
enIn 1798, the Jourdan - or Jourdan-Delbrel - law imposed a new method of military recruitment throughout France, which did not fail to make the population react. As a department united with France from 1795, the department of Ourthe contributed to the war effort during the years of the Revolution and the Empire. Composed of the former territory of the Principality of Liège, Stavelot-Malmedy and the former Austrian possessions, the département of Ourthe was an ideal laboratory to observe the reactions of a plural population. For almost fifteen years, a close relationship between the central state and the inhabitants of the Ourthe was established and evolved through the key institution of conscription. Through a comparison, both quantitative and qualitative, this work tends to observe the relations between a centralising state and the inhabitants of a department united with France.
