A map of the Netherlands during the War of the Spanish Succession. In this theatre of war the French, together with the garrisons of the Spanish Netherlands had fortified a line of defence over 70 miles long between Antwerp and Huy. Marlborough concentrated 60,000 men (only 12,000 British) about Nijmwegen in June and in early July advanced directly by Hamont on Diest. Boufflers fell back, in order to regain the Brabant lines. Marlborough's objective was to bring about a confrontation and awaited the arrival of Boufflers tired army. But at the critical moment the Dutch authorites forbade the battle, content to see the army that had threatened Holland with invasion driven off to a safe distance without bloodshed. After this Marlborough thought to pacify the Dutch by besieging the fortresses along the River e and the campaign closed with the capture of Liege, Oct 12 1702.
