Commentary

En 1700, Phlippe Duc d’Anjou, petit-fils de Louis XIV, succède à son grand-oncle Charles II d’Espagne. L’empereur autrichien Léopold Ier de Habsbourg s’y oppose et souhaite placer sur le trône espagnol son fils Charles. La guerre de Succession d’Espagne opposera de 1701 à 1714 les deux camps : d’un côté la France, la Castille, et certains allemands, et de l’autre l’Autriche, le Saint-Empire, la Grande-Bretagne, le Portugal et l’Aragon.
Finalement, Philippe V s’impose et devient le premier roi de la maison de Bourbon d’Espagne.
In 1700, Philip, Duke of Anjou, grandson of Louis XIV, succeeded his great-uncle Charles II of Spain. The Austrian Emperor Leopold I of Habsburg opposed this and wanted to place his son Charles on the Spanish throne. The War of the Spanish Succession would rage from 1701 to 1714 between the two camps: on one side France, Castile, and some Germans, and on the other Austria, the Holy Roman Empire, Great Britain, Portugal, and Aragon. Finally, Philip V prevailed and became the first king of the House of Bourbon of Spain.
