Grand Alliance (League of Augsburg)

The Grand Alliance is the anti-French coalition formed on 20 December 1689 between England, the Dutch Republic and the Holy Roman Empire. It was signed by the two leading opponents of France; William III, King of England and Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic, and Emperor Leopold, on behalf of the Archduchy of Austria. With the later additions of Spain and Savoy, this coalition fought the 1688–97 Nine Years' War against France that ended with the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick.
