Copyediting

I get the impression that this article has been taken, almost verbatim, from the "1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition, New York 1910". This publication appears in the Footnotes. The article itself includes such obvious Americanisms as "color" (the US did not exist at the time of the battle) and rather quaint words and phrases like "intercalated"(I had to grab the dictionary on this one!) and "had to move with the utmost energy". Sigh, more blue pencil.

Incorrect coordinates on map

The coordinates of Brussels and Neerwinden are incorrect. I tried fixing it but don't seem to know how. JanCeuleers (talk) 14:48, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pyrrhic French victory

Van Nimwegen(2020) calls it a Pyrrhic French victory and gives different casualties numbers.

8.000 for the allies and 12.000-18.000 for the French.

Van Nimwegen is obviously a biased writer in whose patriotic fantasy the Dutch always inflicted enormous casualties on the enemy but somehow ended up retreating and leaving all fortresses behind. The figure of 8000-10000 French casualties and 15000-20000 for the Allies is the most accurate one.
