Dans un document familial datant de 1854, un de mes aïeux fait état de ce que son arrière-arrière grand-père est venu s'établir à St Léger ( dans le Tournaisis, ouest de l'actuelle province du Hainaut ) " à l'occasion des guerres de Louis XIV "... Cela me permet d'estimer que le souvenir de la guerre de Dévolution était encore assez vivace dans cette région du pays à presque deux siècles de distance. Il serait intéressant de savoir si des mouvements de population étaient d'usage courant dans les territoires conquis. Le village de St Léger n'est pas resté en possession de la France, au contraire de ce qui est dénommé actuellement la "Flandre Française" = (Lille, Dunkerke, Amiens..)
How was Sweden involved in this war? Did they participate in any fighting? Imonoz ( talk) 21:47, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
The French did not win this war. Most of the French conquests were returned to the Spanish. It should be considered a draw, or indecisive. King Philip V of Spain ( talk) 09:09, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
@ LeHappiste and King Philip V of Spain: In view of the slow-burning edit war that has been going on for several months, I have taken the unusual measure of upgrading the existing semi-protection to full. The semi-protection, which put a stop to the series of edits from IPs in the Toulon area, caused a named account to pick up the torch. I was strongly tempted to use the clue stick, but decided on this method instead. Both parties will now have to contribute to the discussion initiated above. Failure to do so followed by renewed edit-warring, once the protection expires or is lifted, will likely lead to a long block. Favonian ( talk) 11:51, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
The Triple Alliance was formed to prevent French expansion - no problem with that, I wrote the article on it. That doesn't make them a belligerent and its misleading to include them as such.
That's not an unusual position but one consistent with every other reference on this topic eg the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the New Cambridge Modern History etc.
