    France gains PU on Spain Louis XIV: YAY!!!!! Austria joined a coalition against France. Prussia joined the coalition against France. England joined the coalition against France. Ulm joined the coalition against France. Hanover joined the coalition against France. (20 other HRE states join coalition against France) WAR! Austria declares war on you. They cite "Coalition" as their casus belli. Louis XIV: Well fuck.

    France wins that war because 3/4 of the Spanish support Louis XIV, son of a Spanish queen. The Spanish part that supports the Bourbons against Austria/England, our great enemy, provides economic aid of gold and silver from America. In 1718, Spain declared war on France, England, the Netherlands, and Austria. France reached a position of strength in 1700, because it allied itself with Protestants and Turks, throughout the 16-17th century, when Spain was at war for 150 years against 5 European powers, to save the Catholic religion in Europe. France stabbed Spain in the back in the 30 Years War. They allowed the Protestants to become strong. That means that in the 18th century the British defeated the French in Quebec and India, reducing French culture in the world, as the fourth power of Europe in the world, today, behind Spain, the United Kingdom and Portugal. Even France had to cede Louisiana to Spain, because we had a stronger civilization in America, and we could protect it. The German Protestants (allies of France in the 17th century), which Spain tried to control, became strong in the 19th and 20th centuries, invading France in 1870, 1914 and 1940.

    Charles II of Spain died at 1700. His death led to the War of Spanish succession which Philip V of Spain ascended to the throne. The treaty was made in which Philip V renounce his claim to the french throne and give up all southern itaian lands, the Netherlands and Gibraltar to France, Great Britain and Austria.

    But Spain invaded Italy, again, in 1734, destroying the army of the Austrian Empire. Spain defeats the British in 1741, in Cartagena de Indias, sinking 50 ships Spain receives French Louisiana, in 1763 Spain expands across the great plains of the USA, we annex Uruguay and Equatorial Guinea in Africa Spanish naval blockade of England in 1779-81, capturing two British fleets of 24 and 55 ships. What sinks the London stock market. Reintegration of Florida into the Spanish Empire Spain defeats the British in Louisiana, Central America, Bahamas, Menorca. Spain defeats the British in Puerto Rico in 1797, and Nelson 3 times, in Central America, Cádiz and Tenerife, where Nelson is captured. Spain loses at Trafalgar 1805 (11 ships we lose) But we beat the British in Argentina and Uruguay 1806-07, capturing British generals and redcoats. All this confirms the Spanish legacy in the world

    The War of the Spanish Succession was a European great power conflict that took place from 1701 to 1715. The death of childless Charles II of Spain in November 1700 led to a struggle for control of the Spanish Empire between his heirs, Philip of Anjou and Charles of Austria, and their respective supporters, among them Spain, Austria, France, the Dutch Republic, Savoy and Great Britain. Related conflicts include the 1700-1721 Great Northern War, Rákóczi's War of Independence in Hungary, the Camisards revolt in southern France, Queen Anne's War in North America and minor trade wars in India and South America.

Attempts by Louis XIV of France and William III of England to resolve the issue through diplomacy were rejected by the Spanish, and Charles II named Louis' grandson, Philip of Anjou, as his heir. His proclamation as king of an undivided Spanish Empire on 16 November 1700 led to war, with France and Spain on one side and the Grand Alliance on the other. The French held the advantage in the early stages, but were forced onto the defensive after 1706; however, by 1710 the Allies had failed to make any significant progress, while Bourbon victories in Spain had secured Philip's position as king. When Emperor Joseph I died in 1711, Archduke Charles succeeded his brother as emperor, and the new British government initiated peace talks. Since only British subsidies kept their allies in the war, this resulted in the 1713-15 Peace of Utrecht treaties, followed by the 1714 Treaties of Rastatt and Baden. Philip was confirmed as King of Spain in return for renouncing the right of himself or his descendants to inherit the French throne; the Spanish Empire remained largely intact, but ceded territories in Italy and the Low Countries to Austria and Savoy. Britain retained Gibraltar and Menorca which it captured during the war, acquired significant trade concessions in the Spanish Americas, and replaced the Dutch as the leading maritime and commercial European power. The Dutch gained a strengthened defence line in what was now the Austrian Netherlands; although they remained a major commercial power, the cost of the war permanently damaged their economy. France withdrew backing for the exiled Jacobites and recognised the Hanoverians as heirs to the British throne; ensuring a friendly Spain was a major achievement, but left them financially exhausted. The decentralisation of the Holy Roman Empire continued, with Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony increasingly acting as independent states. Combined with victories over the Ottomans, this meant that Austria increasingly switched its focus to southern Europe.

    Because this was largely a European (more specifically, a western/central European) conflict. The only other areas where the war was fought was regions where European powers had colonies. Thus, the conflict was simply exported to the colonies rather than involving them as full-fledged participants and thus this would NOT count as World War 1.

There had been very few worldwide conflicts before the Great War, but none of them had this total war aspect and thus it rightfully deserves the title of the First World War.

    There's a key mistake in this video: Spain didn't exist as a unified state, Castille and Aragon were still alive. The Habsburgs promised the aragonese to mantain their "furs" or "federal-rights" while the Borbons sided with the castilians and wanted to conquer Aragon, ruling under an absolutist united Castille, or what we now known as "Spain". Also you completely gloss over the Republic of Catalonia that arose in the later stages of the war after the treason of the treaty of Utrecht (we were fighting for our rights, so we couldn't surrender), which left us over here alone against the combined armies of Castille and France, surviving for a whole year holed up in Barcelona in one of the fiercest sieges in modern history. This war is the most important one in our history in Catalonia, beacause it meant that we were no longer our own nation but a region in Spain, losing all of our rights and being forbidden to speak our language among others. I still like that you uploaded a video on this war, just my 2 cents from a catalan perspective.

Així que la rebel·lió va estar motivada per la por a perdre els drets no per la pèrdua de drets en si. A més qui sap si els Habsburgs haguessin mantingut la promesa, precisament pel federalisme Àustria no era coneguda.

    Actually, Prussia was located in Poland, outside the HRE. That was the whole point. The elector of Brandenburg could not make himself king of Brandenburg, because the HRE already had an emperor in Vienna. However, he also had vast territories in Prussia, and since that was outside the HRE, he could be king there. Especially since the Habsburg emperor was busy in Spain.

It was too hard a war, after 15 years of war (France, England, Austria, Netherlands...) In 1734, Spain invades Italy again, destroying the Austrian Empire's army within a month. There we discovered Pompeii and Herculaneum and built the palace of Caserta, more luxurious than Buckinham Palace. The entire 18th century is a century of recovery of the Spanish empire, doubling the territory, with the acquisition of Louisiana, the great plains of the USA, the western coast of Canada, part of Alaska, Florida, Uruguay, Equatorial Guinea and some archipelagos of the Pacific Ocean. France and the Netherlands are defeated by the British in India, Quebec, South Africa and New Amsterdam (New York). Spain defeats the British at Cartagena de Indias in 1741, the Royal Navy's biggest defeat in its history, sinking 50 British ships. Spain makes a naval blockade of England in 1779-81, capturing two British fleets of 24 and 55 ships, sinking the London stock market. Spain gives the Spanish dollar to the USA. We also beat the British in Florida, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, Central America, Menorca and the Bahamas Spain defeats Nelson in 3 battles in 1797 (Nelson is captured in Tenerife, where he loses his arm) The British win at Trafalgar 1805, sinking or capturing 11 Spanish ships. Spain defeats the British in Argentina and Uruguay 1806-07, capturing the redcoats and British generals In 1808, Spain is the first empire to win a battle against Napoleon's French army. Bailén 1808. The Spanish offensive expels the French throughout the peninsula 300-800 km, making Nappleón's brother flee from Madrid. It is a milestone throughout Europe. Napoleon is a strategic genius and regains ground. He starts a brutal war with 270,000 French soldiers dead and 500,000 Spanish soldiers dead between 1808-1814. That war sank the Spanish economy by 80%, with the destruction of industry, livestock, cities, roads... only after 1814, Spain lost its position as the third world power (like Russia now) with a territory larger than the USA and China combined. . Although the Spanish legacy in the world was already done. Today: 480 million mother tongue speakers of Spanish (second mother tongue after Chinese. English 380 million mother tongue speakers) and 800 million Catholics thanks to Spain (200 million in Europe. 100 million in Asia). 120 million Anglicans around the world.

Prior to the war of Spanish succession there were two political entities in what is now the territory of Spain: the crown of Castile and the crown of Aragon which were ruled by the same monarch in personal union. There were borders, customs, different governments, different laws, different languages,... Does that sound like a kingdom?

    Charles I of Spain is already a king of all Spaniards in 1516. It is not true that Spain is a division between several kingdoms. It looked a bit like today's Germany, USA and Spain, even today's UK, with local parliaments and local laws. But the king of Spain was supreme, with capital in Madrid. All big countries have many languages. Italy has 10 regional languages. France has always had 15 regional languages, including Basque, Catalan, Corsican, Italian, German... The USA has 60 million Spanish speakers and 2 million French speakers, among many other languages. India, Russia, China... they all have hundreds of languages, even several religions.

    Niel Relatado Yeah but instead of finding a genetic heir they fight for it tons of people died because a family was fighting with each other.

    You guys are speaking from the mindset of a person in the 21st century. At the time, the thought of being caught between a combined Franco-Spanish superpower to the west and the devastation to the east being caused by the Great Northern War was a very frightening prospect indeed

    You always get a bit of revisionist history in some parts of Spain, Barcelona being one. Still, you know, nationalists and their bizarre views.

    I think it’s cool. It reminds me of 9th grade presentation while I was playing Cool Math Games at the back of the class.

    Adrien Ltp and Gibraltar. And I meant Marlborough won many many great victories especially at Blenheim and other crushing victories against the French. I mean a Dreadnought was named after Marlborough lol, he was surely important

    Marlborough was not alone. At Blenheim he was alongside with Eugene of Savoy. Out of big battles only at Ramillies Marlborough was alone. Still at Malplaquet Marlborough and Eugene managed to gain only Pyrrhic victory. French being outnumbered managed to inflict very heavy casualties on allies , bled them to death , so any serious advance after this in 1709 was not going to happen for Allies. In 1712 Villars outsmarted Eugene and won at Denain. In the end France facing whole Europe , managed to place it's guy on Spanish throne , making Spain an ally for centuries , while not only losing any territory in Europe , but acquiring Landau from Habsburgs and Barcelonette from Savoy. Still , you maybe should read more about Eugene's campaigns in Italy , they were brilliant . I would say Eugene's Turin campaign in 1706 outshines anything Marlborough did , though Churchill was more consistent commander. Even Napoleon regarded that campaign of Eugene very highly. Also , Majority of Marlborough's troops weren't British , but Dutch and other allies.

    mace slot well the British population was small. Very small. So the army that Britain could raise would be quite small. I've read some books on the war and all mention about Eugene and the Allies' contribution. However, you cannot deny that Marlborough's tactics led to great victories at Blenheim and key battles. They fought like lions when we invaded French national soil, of course they would, the war weary populations of Europe didn't want more war. And anyway we stripped a load of Spain from Spain so yay

    mace slot France was forced to sign the Treaty of Utrecht 1713 that forced Spain and France to ignore each other, which means that the allies utterly destroyed Louis’s dreams of utter European catholic domination, and vast swaths of French colonial territory in North America was signed off to Britain....of course Marlborough wasn’t alone, just like Wellington wasn’t alone....what is your point? British leg work was vital in those wars and Napoleon was so fond of Marlborough he had a statue built of him and every years the Marlborough’s still present a fleur De lis flag to the royal family.

    Hiro Mashima The real reason Louis wanted a Bourbon on the throne of Spain was to make a unified Catholic alliance and fulfil Louis’s dreams of European domination...that never happened. The allies won this.
