Talk:Grand Alliance (League of Augsburg)

The Pope
From Orange Order:
 * was seen as the first proper victory in battle for the League of Augsburg, the first ever alliance between Catholic & Protestant countries. William's victory was celebrated in Rome by Pope Innocent XI who ordered the singing of Te Deums in the city's major Catholic churches

Were the Papal States a part of the league?
 * No; the Pope just didn't care for Louis very much. Robinvp11 (talk) 18:06, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Great Alliance
sorry for that, I just started an article of the thing at Great Alliance, that being the term I was more familiar with. please check and merge. Well, yes, I could say a couple of mor pages about the subject. --Olaf Simons 09:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Members
If the Holy Roman Empire was a member, wouldn't that include all of its territories by default? If so, why are some of them listed individually in the first paragraph? Wikipeditor 22:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


 * No, it wouldn't. Lower princes were obliged to defend the Reichsfriede, but often didn't or even sided with the enemy. The Empire was not some modern unitary nation state; it was more like a supranational entity. You could compare it with a NATO operation; it would still be useful to list the actual participants.--MWAK 17:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

While I'm sure the original participants long since ceased caring :), for anyone else reading this, the point is valid but there were 88 separate members for the Swabian Circle - it is simply impractical to list all of them.

EU rewrite of history?
This topic reads as if it was sponsored by the EU.

After a quick look at the EB and other online sources, the whole 'European union' thing appears to be a rewrite of history.

I looked at the biographies of individual commanders of the forces of the grand alliance, and none mentioned that the commander became a 'hero of europe'.

And what is with the fashion stuff. It's a historical article on a military alliance in the modern era, not an article on rennaissance/modern era fashion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.62.162.197 (talk) 16:29, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

After thoughts on Corona 2020
