England and Holland sign the Alliance of the Hague, through the
negotiatory initiative of John de Witt, Pensionary of Holland, and
Sir William Temple, English ambassador at the Hague. Each agrees to
come to the aid of the other if attacked, and both undertake to
bring about a peace between France and Spain. Sweden subsequently
joins England and Holland, thus forming a Triple Alliance.
