January 1675 CE

Despite Louis’s successful Siege of Maastricht in 1673, the French monarch has been forced to abandon his plans of conquering the Dutch and revert to a slow, cautious war of attrition around the French frontiers.

The Battle of Turckheim, fought on January 5, 1675, in Turckheim (now in Alsace, France) results in the victory of the French forces under the Vicomte of Turenne over the Brandenburgian and Austrian armies commanded by the elector of Brandenburg, Frederick William.
