After Blenheim is an anti-war poem that centers on the most famous battle in the war of the Spanish Succession. Blenheim is the English name for the German village of Blindheim. In November 1700, the grandson of King Louis XIV of France acceded to the throne of Spain as Philip V. Austria and other European nations saw this development as an unfair plan of the French King to increase his power  and influence. Consequently, war broke out in 1701 between Austria and France. Furthermore, England and The Netherlands allied themselves with Austria. The German principalities of Bavaria and Cologne and the Italian principalities of Mantua and Savoy allied themselves with France. As the war progressed,Portugal and various German dominions including, Prussia and Hanover, entered the war on the side of Austria.
In addition, Savoy renounced its allegiance to the French and joined the anti-French Coalition. In 1704, the coalition defeated French and Bavarian forces at Blenheim in one of the most important battles of the war. Among the conquering heroes were England's Duke of Malborough and Savoy's Prince Eugene.
