The Battle of Grantville was the result of a Croat raid on the town of Grantville in August, 1632. The Croats were in the employ of Albrecht von Wallenstein, who in turn, had coordinated the attack with Cardinal Richelieu of France, both of whom saw the New United States and its alliance with Sweden as a threat to the Catholic cause. Wallenstein was unique in his ability to understand the American mind-set, and ordered the Croats to specifically target Jews (Richelieu's idea) and Grantville High School, which Wallenstein correctly realized was an important center of knowledge for the town.

  • The Battle of Grantville was the result of a Croat raid on the town of Grantville in August, 1632. The Croats were in the employ of Albrecht von Wallenstein, who in turn, had coordinated the attack with Cardinal Richelieu of France, both of whom saw the New United States and its alliance with Sweden as a threat to the Catholic cause. Wallenstein was unique in his ability to understand the American mind-set, and ordered the Croats to specifically target Jews (Richelieu's idea) and Grantville High School, which Wallenstein correctly realized was an important center of knowledge for the town. The attack came simultaneously with an attack on Suhl by Octavio Piccolomini and on Eisenach by Spain. The NUS used the largest part of its military to protect both sites, leaving Grantville relatively (though by no means completely) vulnerable.
