Tournai, a town in southwest Belgium, was given to Austria along with the rest of the Spanish Netherlands by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, a series of documents and agreements that ended the War of Spanish Succession the next year (1701-1714). After 1815, it was part of the United Netherlands, and in 1830 it became part of Belgium. This map shows the fortifications and placement of the English forces in the successful siege of Tournai in 1709.
