The Pope
editFrom Orange Order#International effects:
- 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
editsorry 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
editIf 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.
WW2
editWHAT HAPPENED AFTER WORLD WAR TWO! I'm pretty sure that dosen't belong in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.155.253 (talk) 21:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
EU rewrite of history?
editThis 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)
