Years: 1706 - 1706
The stalemate is broken in 1706, as Marlborough drives the French out of most of the Spanish Netherlands, decisively defeating troops under Villeroy in the Battle of Ramillies in May and following up with the conquest of Antwerp and Dunkirk.
Prince Eugene also meets with success; in September, following the departure of Vendôme to shore up the shattered army in the Netherlands, he and the Duke of Savoy inflict a heavy loss on the French under Orleans and Marsin at the Battle of Turin, driving them out of Italy by the end of the year.
