FRANCO-SPANISH WAR
1635-1659

 


The Franco-Spanish War started in 1635, which put it right in the middle of the Thirty Years' War.

On the French side, the great Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, the viscount de Turenne, found an opportunity to show his brilliance. He defeated the Spanish at the Battle of the Dunes on June 14, 1658, which was fought at Dunkirk, today's France.

The Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 ended this war.
