  • The Battle of Kallo was a major field battle fought from 20 to 21 June 1638 in and around the forts of Kallo and Verrebroek, located on the left bank of the Scheldt river, near Antwerp, during the second phase of the Eighty Years' War. Following the symbolic recovery of Breda during the 1637 campaign, the Dutch Republic agreed with the French Crown, with whom it had allied in 1635, to besiege a major city in the Spanish Netherlands during the 1638 campaign. The commander of the Dutch States Army, Frederick Henry of Orange, planned an approach over Antwerp from the two sides of the Scheldt. Count William of Nassau-Siegen was entrusted to land in the Spanish-controlled Waasland region, west of Antwerp, to seize the forts of Kallo and Verrebroek, along with several other key fortifications, to invest Antwerp from the west. In the meantime, Frederick Henry would advance on the opposite bank to complete the blockade of the city while the armies of France invaded the Spanish Netherlands from the south to oblige the Spanish Army of Flanders to divide its forces. The Dutch operation proceeded well at first, since the force under Nassau-Siegen easily captured Kallo and Verrebroek. However, it was unable to gain further progress, so the count entrenched his troops and asked for reinforcements. The governor of the Catholic Netherlands, the cardinal-infante Ferdinand, younger brother to Philip IV of Spain and victor of the Battle of Nördlingen, with an army consisting of tercios and other troops from several garrison duties, launched a counter-attack over the Dutch positions the night of 20–21 June. Advancing along three narrow fronts, the Spanish forces drove the States' soldiers from a series of outer works, but were unable to dislodge them from the two main forts. However, exhaustion and lack of supplies and reinforcements led Nassau-Siegen to order the re-embarkation during the next night. Ferdinand launched a second assault while the retreat was ongoing, and, as panic ensued among the Dutch ranks, the entire force was defeated. The Dutch commander escaped with a few hundred men, while many other drowned attempting to save themselves or were captured. Along with the successful defense of Saint-Omer and Geldern that same year, the victory of Kallo proved that the Spanish tercios were still a formidable field force. Additionally, it was interpreted in terms of Catholic propaganda and became subject of paintings, poems and popular songs. (en)

  • La batalla de Kollum fue una victoria decisiva del ejército español comandado por el gobernador de los Países Bajos españoles, el cardenal-infante Fernando de Austria, contra los holandeses comandados por Guillermo de Nassau-Hilchenbach. Esta derrota y el fracaso en el último sitio que los neerlandeses impusieron a la ciudad en 1646. Permitió que Amberes permaneciera en poder español hasta su ocupación por las tropas de la Alianza de la Haya del duque de Marlborough el 6 de junio de 1706. (es)
  • De Slag bij Kallo (13 juni - 21 juni 1638) was het gevolg van een poging van het Staatse leger om Antwerpen te heroveren. Prins Frederik Hendrik van Oranje zou vanuit Bergen op Zoom langs de Brabantse kant van de Schelde oprukken en zijn legeroverste graaf Willem van Nassau-Siegen (zoon van Frederik Hendriks volle neef Johan VII van Nassau-Siegen) langs de Vlaamse kant. De bedoeling was Antwerpen te omsingelen en in bezit te nemen. (nl)
  • La battaglia di Kallo fu un'importante battaglia della guerra degli ottant'anni e della guerra dei trent'anni, che ebbe luogo il 20 giugno 1638 nei pressi del forte di Kallo, sulla riva sinistra del fiume Schelda. Gli schieramenti opposti videro l'esercito olandese al comando di Guglielmo di Nassau-Hilchenbach schierato contro l'esercito spagnolo agli ordini di Ferdinando d'Asburgo, governatore dei Paesi Bassi spagnoli. Mentre gli Olandesi avanzavano per circondare Anversa, Ferdinando d'Asburgo riuscì a radunare un esercito e respingere le forze olandesi, molto maggiori, infliggendo loro pesanti perdite (tra le vittime ci fu anche l'unico figlio di Guglielmo di Nassau-Hilchenbach), facendo numerosi prigionieri e conquistando pezzi di artiglieria e imbarcazioni. La battaglia di Kallo fu la più grande azione militare della guerra tra Spagna e Olanda, nonché l'unica battaglia campale e la peggior sconfitta per gli Olandesi della guerra degli ottant'anni. (it)
  • Битва при Калло — одна из важнейших битв Восьмидесятилетней войны. Она произошла 20 июня 1638 года близ форта Калло, расположенного на левом берегу реки Шельды, между голландской армией под командованием Вильгельма Нассау-Хильхенбаха и испанской армией во главе с кардиналом-инфантом Фердинандом Австрийским, губернатором испанских Нидерландов. Голландцы рассчитывали окружить Антверпен, однако Фердинанд в результате битвы разбил гораздо большую по численности голландскую армию, потеряв при этом лишь несколько сотен солдат и взяв в плен 2500 голландцев и значительное количество орудий. Битва при Калло стала крупнейшей неудачей голландцев в рамках Восьмидесятилетней войны. (ru)
