Commentary
Après la mort de l'empereur Charles VI en 1740, sa fille Marie-Thérèse lui succède au milieu de contestations. Cette succession, qui aurait pu rester un conflit inter-allemand, sert de détonateur à un affrontement européen latent depuis plusieurs années. Aussi la France entend-elle se protéger en toutes ses parties en formant avec l'Espagne, le Piémont, la Saxe, la Bavière et la Prusse la coalition de Nymphenbourg.

This succession, which could have remained an inter-German conflict, served as a trigger for a European confrontation that had been latent for several years. France therefore intended to protect itself in all its parts by forming the Nymphenburg Coalition with Spain, Piedmont, Saxony, Bavaria, and Prussia.
