Though England first declared war on the States General of the United Provinces on 27 March 1672, the ensuing hostilities were largely French inspired. Louis XIV had been waging economic and political warfare against the Dutch with extraordinary tenacity during the previous four years. Employing high tariffs and secret diplomacy, the King of France had sought to reduce Dutch power and influence everywhere it appeared, including in the Americas. No monocausal explanation such as the king's desire for revenge or Colbert's dream to crush the Dutch economy accounts for the war. Detailed analysis of the war's diplomacy stresses the importance of contingent factors: the personalities of the French leaders, short-term considerations, ministerial ambitions, and political expediency as important causes of the war.
