Germersheim war of succession

[edit]

The article enigmatically mentioned "the disastrous Germersheim war of succession". That name is indeed used in the cited source (EB 1911), which seems to be translated from Meyers Konversationslexikon (1885-1892, https://www.retrobibliothek.de/retrobib/seite.html?id=106659, "Germersheimer erbfolgekrieg"), but other than that it's very hard do find traces of a separate war named thus. It appears to have been a single writer's idiosyncratic name for the Nine Years' War (known in Germany as the "War of the Palatinate Succession"), which began in 1688 (the date quoted by Meyer) when France besieged Philippsburg, just across the Rhine from Germersheim, and indeed ended in the Peace of Ryswick is stated to have concluded. I've edited the article accordiningly, even though that means deviating from the cited source. –Henning Makholm (talk) 00:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
