	Neerwinden - LoveToKnow 1911
		NEERWINDEN, a village of Belgium in the province of Liege, a few miles E. by S. of Tirlemont, which gives its name to two great battles, the first fought in 1693 between the Anglo-Allied army under William III.
		The battle of the 18th March 1793 marked the end of Dumouriez's attempt to overrun the Low Countries and the beginning of the Allies' invasion of France.
		In these conditions an attempt to win a second Jemappes with numerical odds of II to Io instead of 2 to I in favour of the attack was foredoomed to disaster, and the repulse of the Revolutionary Army was the signal for its almost complete dissolution.
