The French-Swedish campaign against Bavaria and Truce of Ulm (1646/1647) : I. Part

Abstract

The aim of the French-Swedish campaign from 1646 against Electorate of Bavaria, the most important ally of the Holy Roman Emperor, was to support the positions in the Westphalian peace negotiations at the end of the Thirty Years' War. Paradoxically, however, France wasn't very willing to fight.

Nor did it come to a greater clash, but the movements of the armies greatly affected the country.
