Download or read book Malplaquet 1709 written by Simon MacDowall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1709, after eight years of war, France was on her knees. There was not enough money left in the treasury to pay, equip or feed the army and a bad harvest led to starvation throughout the kingdom. Circumstances had worsened to the point that King Louis XIV was forced to offer to end the War of Spanish Succession on humiliating terms for his country. However, the allied powers – Britain, the Dutch Republic and the Holy Roman Empire – refused Louis' offer, believing that one more successful campaign would utterly destroy French power. This book examines the campaign of 1709, culminating in the battle of Malplaquet, which would prove Louis' enemies disastrously wrong. Led by the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy, the allied armies achieved a tactical victory – but it was a hollow one. The allies suffered 23,000 casualties to the French 11,000 in what was the bloodiest battle of the 18th century. The scale of casualties shocked Europe and led to a reversal of fortunes, with the dismissal of Marlborough and a newly confident King Louis resolving to fight on. When the war finally ended, it did so on terms favourable to France. In this illustrated title, Simon MacDowall examines the campaign in full and shows how, though it is generally accepted that Marlborough was never defeated, the Battle of Malplaquet was ultimately a French strategic victory.

This book was released on 2024-05-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War of the Spanish Succession, fought from July 1701 to September 1714, and triggered by the November 1700 death of Charles II of Spain, was a conflict for control of the Spanish Empire between his heirs, Philip of Anjou – grandson of the French king. Louis XIV – and Archduke Charles of Austria. On September 11, 1709 the Battle of Malplaquet was fought in the area of the present French city of Tasnières-sur-Horn. Marlborough and Prince Eugene knew that Villars had been instructed to fight by Mons and tried to induce him into a pitched battle, hoping to gain a decisive victory. In the battle simulation, I will try to correct the flaws presented in the historical analysis, testing improvements in the maneuvers. And then we will prove which maneuver will prevail, both being instructed with the best and maximum effort.
Book Synopsis A Very Murdering Year by : Callum Andrew Johnstone

Book excerpt: The Battle of Malplaquet, fought on 11 September 1709, was the last of the Duke of Marlborough's four major battles that took place during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). The British historiography surrounding the war has often centered on the martial prowess of Marlborough and he is often ranked amongst the foremost commanders in British history. Malplaquet, however, was a battle in which he lost twice as many men as his French opponents. This thesis provides a detailed reassessment of Marlborough's performance · during the indecisive 1709 campaign, which historians have often down played at the expense of the victories of Blenheim and Ramilles, and analyses: the initial plans for the campaign, command and control at the siege of Tournai, why the decision to fight at Malplaquet was taken, as well the plan and conduct of the battle itself. The final chapter moves away from the 'great captain' approach to history and assesses the experience of battle and general performance of the troops who fought at Malplaquet, in order to a certain the impact that the decision to fight the battle had on the common soldier and to establish why it proved to be the bloodiest battle of the war.

Book excerpt: A single day in the heat of armed conflict can shape the future of the world. Throughout history, individual battles have inspired the birth of nations, the devastation of cultures and the triumph of revolutions. Yet while some battles rise up as the cornerstones of history, others fade in our cultural memory, forgotten as minor skirmishes. Why is this so? What makes a battle "important"? Celebrated veteran and military expert Michael Lee Lanning offers a provocative response with The Battle 100: The Stories Behind History's Most Influential Battles. Lanning ranks history's 100 greatest battles according to their influence, both immediate and long-term. Thought-provoking and controversial, Lanning's rankings take us to the heart of the battles and reveal their true greatness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blenheim, Ramilles , Oudenarde, Malplaquet _ much has been written about the brilliant victories of the Duke of Marlborough's Anglo-Dutch army over the armies of Louis XIV of France during the War of the Spanish Succession. Less attention has been focused on the men and the military organization that made these achievements possible - the soldiers, the commanders, the army structure and administration, the logistics, engineering, weapons and finance. That is why James Falkner's penetrating account of the composition and operation of Marlborough's army is of such value. His clear analysis gives a fascinating insight into Marlborough's war machine and into the conduct of war in Europe 300 years ago.
