During the nine years of the Wars of the League of Augsburg (1689-1697), contending armies from a variety of nations marched over and through Germany, Flanders, Ireland, Savoy, North America, and India and had yielded very little advantage to either Louis XIV of France or to the coalition aligned against him. This coalition, which was variously known as the League of Augsburg, or the Grand Alliance, was organized and sustained mainly by William III , Dutch stadtholder and king of England, and had included England, the Netherlands, the Holy Roman Empire, Savoy, and Spain, among the major powers.
