	War of Devolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The War of Devolution (May 24, 1667 – May 2, 1668) was a war between Louis XIV's France and Habsburg Spain fought in the Spanish Netherlands.
		The war was the first of Louis' wars of territorial aggrandizement.
		The War of Devolution thus led directly to the Franco-Dutch War of 1672–1678, with Charles II co-opted by Louis' gold to fight against the Dutch.

	Franco-Dutch War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dutch War (1672–1678) was a war fought between France and a quadruple alliance consisting of Brandenburg, the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, and the United Provinces.
		The war ended with the Treaty of Nijmegen (1678); this granted France control of the Franche-Comte (from Spain).
		Louis was forced to abandon his plans of conquering the Dutch and revert to a slow, cautious war of attrition around the French frontiers.

	Famous Historic Battles
		A civil war in England, an English coalition with France, an attack by Louis, and James choosing a Catholic as the successor to the throne instead of William's wife Mary, were all possibilities that spurred William and his forces to proceed into England and land in Devon on 5 November, 1688 (Maguire 37).
		The war turned in 1758, first with the capture of Louisburg and then Fort Ticonderoga, followed on 13 September 1759 by the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (Canada), in which General de Montcalm was killed and by the fall of Quebec on 18 September.
		War of the First Coalition (1793-97) This was part of the struggle which followed the French revolutionary wars, with the great dynastic powers of Europe trying to reverse the outcome of the revolution and restore the French monarchy.

		Opposition to the principle of devolution of power by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, a party that claims to be socialist is difficult to comprehend.
		The basic concept of socialism is the devolving of power to the people at all levels from the centre and the province right down to the village and the work place, so that they can take decisions on matters that affect their lives appropriate to each level.
		Further devolution of power to the village has been practised in Sri Lanka during the time of the ancient kings, before the advent of the European colonial powers.

		It is difficult to see how the devolution package can provide a lasting solution when the influential EPRLF leader Douglas Devananda is on record in the Daily News of 11th February 1997 as saying that the proposals will be a useful starting point for negotiations.
		Opponents of devolution rose to the bait and responded by denouncing the "dustbin" remark as an insult to the Sinhala race and to Buddhism, demanding apologies, organising demonstrations, and smashing coconuts.
		The wise course of action would be to recognise that devolution anywhere is a complex and irreversible exercise, and that it is vital that any dangers foreseen are openly discussed and not dismissed out of hand.

		On his deathbed, Louis confessed to his young successor that he had "loved war too much." Well over half his reign witnessed major armed conflicts, including the War of Devolution (1667-1668), the Dutch War (1672-1678), the War of the Grand Alliance (1688-1697), and the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714).
		After the Dutch War he was hailed both as Louis the Great and as the Sun King, in reference to the fact that he took the sun as his emblem.
		So adamant was he to inspect his troops that one courtier called him "the king of reviews." He was served by the capable although brutal war minister, the marquis de Louvois, who, along with his father and previous war minister Michel Le Tellier, did much to rationalize French administration and supply.

	The War of Devolution, 1667-1668
		After the 30 Years War (1618-1648) and the Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659), Spain was exhausted, while France, under Louis XIV.'s able Superintendent of Finances, Colbert, became prosperous and established a standing army.
		France declared war; French forces under the command of Turenne occupied Flanders, while another French force under Conde took Franche Comte (1668).
		The Treaty of Aachen 1668 did not solve the problem, as Spain did not regain her ability to defend the Spanish Netherlands and the Franche Comte, and as France maintained a superior military power, again and again attempted to enter into bids for more territory and hegemony over continental Europe.
