• Extra informatie: - On the policy of the City of Amsterdam to promote an end to the War of the Reunions. Despite the peace established by the 1678 Treaty of Nijmegen, Louis retained a large army, an action extremely unusual in the period. In 1681, his troops seized Strasbourg and in 1682 occupied the Principality of Orange, then a possession of William of Orange. When hostilities began in 1683, French support for the Ottomans in their war with Austria allowed Louis to capture Strasbourg and Luxembourg and consolidate his position in Alsace. The Truce of Ratisbon (signed on 15 August 1684) that ended the conflict marked the high water mark of French territorial gains under Louis XIV. Afterwards, his opponents would recognize the need for unity in order to resist further expansion, leading to the 1688 creation of the Grand Alliance, an anti-French coalition. STCN 054062004.
