The Nine Years' War (1688–97), also known as the War of the Grand Alliance or the War of the League of Augsburg, was a conflict between Louis XIV of France and a European coalition opposing him. It was fought in Europe and the surrounding seas, North America and in India. It is sometimes considered the first global war. The war ended with unsolved issues and was soon followed by the War of the Spanish Succession.
