Dutch States Army

The Scanian War was a war fought from 1675-1679 between the Dutch, Danish and Norwegians on one side and the French and Swedes on the the other. The war was fought over the Scanian lands, also known as Skaneland, a portion of southern Sweden, as well as an island presently belonging to Denmark. The war was triggered by Swedish involvement in the concurrent [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Dutch_War Franco-Dutch War], which prompted a Danish invasion of Scania. In the end, the war was inconclusive, with the Danish defeating the Swedes at sea, and the Swedes defeating the Danish invasion force on land. In the end, the war resulted in a treaty that returned Danish and Swedish territory to their pre-war boundaries. One interesting piece of trivia about the Scanian War was that it is likely that it is one of the few conflicts where a type of early repeating firearm called the Kalthoff Repeater was used- 200 years before the invention of the Winchester Repeating Rifle.
