m. ^21 o 2 Digitized by Google 162 TIMES OF LOUIS THE FOURTEENTH.
The enemies of France gradually concluded an alliance at Vienna. (1689 and 1690.) England now closely connected with Holland, Bavaria, and Saxony ; Spain and Savoy, and even Denmark acceded to the alliance, and Louis stood alone. The Swiss, however, concluded a treaty of neutrality with him, and the Turks, for their own interests, waged war against the empire. In a nine years' war against one half of Europe, France again displaye...d her astonishing power, and remained, though without decisive triumph, rather vic- torious than vanquished. From the frontiers of Germany, the first theatre of hostilities, the war extended gradually to the Netherlands, to Ireland, Italy, Spain, and even to the seas and countries of the New World. On the Rhine, the king took the defensive, and attempted to secure his frontiers by making the palatinate on both banks of that river a desert. The inhabitants still recall the day when their ancestors were told that the whole palatinate must be aban- doned, because the army of his most Christian majesty had received orders to lay it in ruins with fire and sword, to destroy the innumerable towns and vil- lages, flourishing and populous, which diversified its surface.
