War of the Spanish Succession (Every Week)

On 1st November, 1700, King Charles II of Spain died, sparking a succession crisis between two claimants, the Bourbon Dynasty of France and Hapsburg Dynasty of Austria. The following war would last for 13 years and involve most of Western Europe. After the war ended in 1714, the European Balance of power was restored. It signaled the rise of Great Britain, the resurgence of Spain under the Bourbons, brought about 18th-Century-style diplomacy, and introduced the colonial theatres as a major part of European warfare.
