Bavarian Infantry Shooting Line, 1701-1714
The ambitious Elector of Bavaria chose to fight with the French when the War of the Spanish Succession broke out, hoping to increase his imperial holdings in the wake of Louis’s success. Instead, the forces of the Grand Alliance ravaged his lands in 1704, and when the French and Bavarians met this threat at the Battle of Blenheim, they suffered a terrible defeat. The French could simply retire, but the allies partitioned and occupied Bavaria, leaving the Elector with no effective army, although small groups of Bavarian troops did fight in later actions. After the war, the Elector was restored to his territory, but Bavaria had suffered terribly for his ambitions and gained nothing.
