Grand Alliance
Years: 1689 - 1721
The Grand Alliance is a European coalition, consisting (at various times) of Austria, Bavaria, Brandenburg, the Dutch Republic, England, Ireland, the Palatinate of the Rhine, Portugal, Savoy, Saxony, Scotland, Spain and Sweden.
The organization, which is founded in 1686 as the League of Augsburg in an attempt to halt Louis XIV of France's expansionist policies., is known as the "Grand Alliance" after England and Scotland join the League (in 1689).
