  The Battle of  Nördlingen (German: Schlacht bei Nördlingen; Spanish: Batalla de Nördlingen;  Swedish: Slaget vid Nördlingen) was fought in 1634 during the Thirty Years'  War, on 27 August (Julian calendar) or 6 September (Gregorian calendar). The  Roman Catholic Imperial army, bolstered by 18,000 Spanish and Italian  soldiers, won a crushing victory over the combined Protestant armies of  Sweden and their German-Protestant allies (Heilbronn Alliance).

After the  failure of the tercio system in the first Battle of Breitenfeld in 1631, the  professional Spanish troops deployed at Nördlingen proved the tercio system  could still contend with the deployment improvements devised by Maurice of  Orange and the late Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden in their respective troops. The  battle was one of the most crushing defeats Protestants ever suffered. With  their forces substantially reduced and many German principalities refusing  aid, the Swedes withdrew to Northern Germany where they remained inactive for  several years. Consequently, the Protestant German princes made a separate  peace with the Emperor in the Treaty of Prague.

 The Habsburg triumph  at Nordlingen followed by the Treaty of Prague could have been decisive in  ending the war, leading to Habsburg supremacy of Europe. Spanish forces no  longer engaged in warfare in Germany, posing a direct threat to France all  along its frontier. France therefore intervened against the Imperial  Habsburgs.

 Prime Minister  Richelieu had long been financing the enemies of the Habsburgs, but now they  no longer were strong enough to be relied upon. War was declared against  Spain on May 21, 1635, thus opening a second front on the Spanish Low  Countries. Bernard of Saxe-Weimar was given 12,000 French troops and  extensive funding.

 The Swedes  recovered, and four years after Nördlingen they defeated a combined Imperial  and Saxon army at the Battle of Wittstock, followed later by victories at the  Second Battle of Breitenfeld, Jankau and Zusmarshausen.
