dbpprop:abstract
  • The Battle of Ramillies was a major engagement of the War of the Spanish Succession fought on 23 May 1706. The encounter was a resounding success for the allied forces of the Dutch Republic, England, and their auxiliaries; but the battle had followed a year of indecisive campaigning in 1705 where Allied over-confidence and Dutch hesitancy after their success at the Battle of Blenheim had resulted in an abortive campaign along the Moselle, forcing the Duke of Marlborough to abandon his plans for a push into France. Yet despite the Allies' inability to achieve a decisive victory, Louis XIV was eager for peace; but he wanted it on reasonable terms. Therefore, rather than standing on the defensive, French armies on all fronts swung over to the offensive. The year 1706 had begun well for Louis XIV's generals, who had gained early success in Italy and in Alsace, where Marshal Villars had forced the Margrave of Baden to retreat across the Rhine. Louis now pressed Marshal Villeroi to seek out Marlborough and bring the Allies to battle in the Spanish Netherlands. Accordingly, the French Marshal set off from Leuven (Louvain) at the head of 60,000 men, and provocatively marched towards Zoutleeuw (Léau). Marlborough, also determined to fight a major engagement, assembled his forces – some 62,000 men – near Maastricht, before advancing towards the Mehaigne river and the plain of Ramillies where the French, in expectation of battle, had already formed their lines. In less than four hours, Villeroi's army was utterly defeated. Marlborough's subtle moves and changes in emphasis during the battle – something the French and Bavarian commanders failed to realise until it was too late – caught his foe in a tacticalvice. The Franco-Bavarian army broke and ran en masse, suffering over 20,000 casualties. With Prince Eugene's subsequent success at Turin in northern Italy, the Allies had imposed the greatest loss of territory and resources that Louis XIV would suffer during the war. Town after town – including Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp – fell to Marlborough's forces and by the end of the campaign, the Franco-Spanish army had been driven from most of the Spanish Netherlands. The year 1706 had indeed proved to be the Allies' annus mirabilis.
  • Die Schlacht bei Ramillies war eine der bedeutendsten Schlachten im Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg. Nahe dem Ort Ramillies besiegten am 23. Mai 1706 englische und niederländische Truppen unter der Führung des Herzog von Marlborough eine französische Streitmacht. Dieser Sieg erzwang den Rückzug der Franzosen aus den Spanischen Niederlanden unter Aufgabe der Städte Brügge, Antwerpen und Gent.
  • Bitva u Ramillies byla jednou z významných bitev válek o dědictví španělské. Vévoda z Marlborough a jeho anglicko-holandsko-dánská armáda v ní připravili drtivou porážku francouzsko-španělsko-bavorských jednotek vedených vévodou z Villeroy a bavorským vévodou Maxmiliánem Emanuelem. V důsledku této porážky ztratila francouzská strana kontrolu nad Španělským Nizozemím a nebyla schopna posílit italské bojiště, které musela po porážce v bitvě u Turína zcela vyklidit. Bitva je považována za nejbrilantnější Marlboroughovo vítězství.
  • La Batalla de Ramillies se desarrolló el 23 de mayo de 1706 en el pueblo de Ramillies, a unos 15 km al norte de Namur, en la actual Bélgica, durante la campaña de la Guerra de Sucesión Española por el control de los llamados Países Bajos Españoles, o Flandes. En ella se enfrentaron un ejército anglo-germano-holandés bajo el mando de John Churchill, Primer Duque de Marlborough, contra un ejército francés comandado por François de Neufville, Duque de Villeroy o Villeroi. La victoria de Churchill supuso la expulsión de las fuerzas francesas de Flandes y la posterior captura de Amberes, Brujas y Gante.
