The first stage of the nine year conflict that followed also coincided with the so-called 'Glorious Revolution' in Britain (1688-91), when the throne passed to the Dutch Protestant leader, William of Orange, the head of a multi-national Dutch, Danish and English army, which finally expelled James II's Jacobite and French forces from Ireland.\u003cbr\u003eThe long war on the continent was notable for the first widespread use of regimental uniforms and flintlock muskets with bayonets, plus the sophisticated use of siege warfare under the great French engineer, Vauban. The final Treaties of Ryswyck (1697) brought the war to an end and marked Louis XIV's political zenith, and also the ascendancy of both the Dutch and British as first-rate global powers.\u003cbr\u003eThis fully illustrated title explores the armies which fought the War of the Grand Alliance, examining their strength, organization, uniforms and weapons, and explaining their campaigns and major battles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472844354\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9.91 Inches, Length: 7.240143 Inches, Weight: 0.37037660016 Pounds, Width: 0.1248029 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gabriele Esposito","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862686466355,"sku":"9781472844354","price":19.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/10581063482712.jpg?v=1754180757","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/armies-of-the-war-of-the-grand-alliance","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
