Very weak and weak and without full descent, Carlos II el Hechizado if I am obliged to revise my will and name her as a descendant of my elder Felipe de Borbona candidate for who apostatized to France. This transfer of power to the Spanish throne – not only on a human level, but also from royal families: if the rule of the Austrians ended and God began the rule of the Bourbons – provoked a bloody conflict of arms on the continental level, Succession Warwhich was developed between 1701 and 1713.
All of Europe moved to its tropics – by 1710 an estimated 1.3 million soldiers from both groups were moving around the world as the war ended in the Americas too – so bloodshed and death were assured: according to the calculations of a Catalan historian Joaquim Albaredawho spent much of his life documenting an attack that could be read as a World War I battle, a despondent hostility was born 1,251,000 deaths in Europe. France was the most rejected country with 500,000 bajas.
By 1710, much of the continent had become peaceful. The first research was carried out in Geertruidenberg’s prolific interviews earlier this year. The next move was made by King Louis XIV of France, King Sol and King Felipe V, who set out to explore Great Britain. There has been a change of attitude in the force favorable to the Austrian cause, more pacifist, which is carried over into the force Tory. At the end of 1710, the English sent a paper to the French Secretary of State that they give up their goal of restoring the Austrians to the Spanish throne. The path where peace begins to walk.
Everything must be done to sign a truce with the death of one of them Joseph I of Austria in April 1711. Archduke Carlos, who was competing for the Spanish throne with Felipe V, continued to rule the Holy Roman Empire in Germany. And the British didn’t seem to care, thanks to Emperor Carlos IV consolidating a gigantic monarchy and also gaining control of Spain. Because on the 22nd France sent Great Britain a negotiating document which was enclosed recognition of guarantees for British trade in Spainin India and the Mediterranean.
But the English demanded more guarantees, as that Spain and France can never be united under the same crown and the return of distinct enclaves such as Gibraltar or Mahón. Among the various posts sent from both countries, created by Dutch troops, a number of preliminary documents were drawn up that foreshadowed later developments Treaty of Utrecht.
Misunderstanding Spain
Queen of England Ana Estuard he summoned the belligerents of the War of the Spanish Succession to the Dutch site to open talks that sought an end point to a matter that had been debated for more than a decade. The first meeting was recorded on 29 January 1712. The ambassador of the Austrian Proclamation of La Haye expressed “the great unity and harmony that exists at Utrecht between the ministers of England and France”, as well as the British effort to make “the evil peace they proclaim”.
However, the situation was complicated by the death of the Great Dolphin, the son of Ludvík of this form, Felipe V became the best-placed candidate for the French throne. Without the embargo, he would have finally abdicated the French crown—following his abuela’s desires—and abdicate so that he could continue to be King of Spain.
The Utrecht talks continued at the same time as on the battlefields of Europe as a whole. And it is certain that it was agreed upon and ratified there on April 11, 1713, and has traditionally been understood as submission to Spanish interests. Felipe V wants to gain access to the claims of England, Austria and their enemies and to give up part of his European dominions – and some peninsular ones – as well as sign commercial concessions in the Americas.
One of the territories that Spain officially entered into Great Britain was Gibraltar, which the English captured in 1704 with the arms of Archduke Carlos. Similarities followed the island of Menorca – which Spain recovered in 1782 – and benefited from a number of commercial successes: the name shipping permitFor example, a ship that was licensed to trade with the Spanish ports of the Americas without paying taxes, but which was also used for smuggling operations. The applicant also granted permission to sell 5,000 black slaves in the Spanish colonies for 30 years.
Today, Gibraltar continued under British rule, and the Treaty of Utrecht, which balanced power in Europe, was a tough maneuver for Spain to ratify at the end of its continental hegemony.
