Duke of Marlborough's campaigns

The Duke of Marlborough's campaigns, notably during the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714), involved strategic military actions across Europe to check France’s expansion. His most famous victory, the Battle of Blenheim (1704), decisively defeated the French and Bavarian armies, boosting Allied confidence. Marlborough was known for innovative tactics, rapid movement, and coordinating land and sea forces effectively. His campaigns gradually pushed French and allied forces back, weakening France's position and helping secure the succession of the British monarchy. His leadership is regarded as a key factor in maintaining European balance during a period of intense rivalry.
