Reunions, War of the

Years: 1683 - 1684

The War of the Reunions, a small conflict between Louis XIV's France and Spain and her allies, is part of Louis' long lasting attempts to take portions of the Spanish Netherlands.

As such it is a direct sequel to the War of Devolution and the Franco-Dutch War.

"History should be taught as the rise of civilization, and not as the history of this nation or that. It should be taught from the point of view of mankind as a whole, and not with undue emphasis on one's own country. Children should learn that every country has committed crimes and that most crimes were blunders. They should learn how mass hysteria can drive a whole nation into folly and into persecution of the few who are not swept away by the prevailing madness."

—Bertrand Russell, On Education (1926)
