Battle of Blenheim, fought on 13 August 1704, was a major battle of the War of the Spanish Succession.


The Battle of Blenheim (referred to in some countries as the Second Battle of Höchstädt), has gone down in history as one of the turning points of the War of the Spanish Succession. The overwhelming Allied victory ensured the safety of Vienna from the Franco-Bavarian army, thus preventing the collapse of the Grand Alliance.
