Spain weakened state 1667 Louis XIV invades the Spanish Netherlands Blocked by the Triple Alliance of Dutch, English and Swedish interests 1672 Louis XIV invades the Spanish Netherlands again Alliance with Charles II of England keeps British at bay William of Orange formed an alliance with Habsburgs (Spanish and Austrian) blocks France Treaty of Nimwegen 1678 France takes the Franche-Comte’

5 Introduction: Before 1700 1679 Louis XIV invades Alsace and Lorraine
Leopold I of Austria is engaged with Turks that are supported by the French In 1683 they had moved up the Danube and laid siege to Vienna Western boarder of the HRE is eroding

6 League of Augsburg (1686) developed to respond to French threat
HRE, Spain, Sweden, Dutch and England Huguenots, Catholics, Lutherans, aligned with each other against France Revocation of Edict offended protestants 1688 War of the League of Augsburg (Glorious Revolution) Louis XIV has a fight on several fronts and leans on the nobility for taxes 1697 Peace of Ryswick leaves matters along original lines

7 The War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1713) AKA Queen Anne’s War
A Modern, formal war against states not against civilians Religion counts for very little in the conflict English are becoming noteworthy political force First “world war” events on several continents are involved

8 The War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1713) AKA Queen Anne’s War
Charles II of Spain is without an heir Louis XIV is married to Charles II of Spain’s sister Leopold I married Charles II of Spain’ s sister Each could put a young family member on the throne Groups explored the idea of dividing French holdings to maintain the balance of power (Austria and France) 1700 Charles II of Spain died and left everything to the grandson (17 yrs. Old) of Louis XIV (not a capable leader) French influence would run from Belgium to Gibraltar “the Pyrenees exist no longer” great threat to political balance Philip V

9 The Grand Alliance William III organizes the “Grand Alliance” of 1701
War aims England support Dutch, keep Stuarts off throne of England, keep France out of Spanish American trade Holland keep France out of Belgium and keep Scheldt closed, France out of Spanish American trade Austria put Habsburg back on Spain’s throne and crush Bavaria Brandenburg, Italian duchy of Savoy: opportunists Portugal, interests in Spanish territory

11 The Peace of Utrecht (1713-1714)
Partitioned the world of Spain Britain’s Queen Anne raised 12 commoners to peerage so to give a Tory majority (the party in favor of signing a peace treaty) Britain gets Gibraltar and Minorca Savoy gets Sardinia Austrian Habsburgs get Milan, Naples, Sicily, and Spanish (now Austrian) Netherlands Grandson of Louis XIV was crowned Philip V of Spain keeps new world territories Crowns of France and Spain can never be united Absolutism comes to Spain (lasted until 1931) New World markets are available to French goods Domination by France is prevented

12 Consequences of the war
France is weakened depopulation famine Peasant uprisings are brutally put down taxes Aristocratic and parliamentary opposition begin again Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Hudson Bay territory are British Retain Alsace and the Franch-Comte’ Influence is strong in Spain

13 Consequences of the war
Dutch are strengthened against France “Dutch Barrier”- a string of forts and garrisons in Belgium are granted Never play a prominent role in European political affairs Rulers of Brandenburg and Savoy are elevated to title of King

14 Consequences of the war
British Major presence in the Mediterranean (Gibraltar and Minorca) asiento opens the Spanish New World up to British trade (slaves and smuggling) right to supply Spanish America with African slaves (very lucrative) Assure Protestant monarchy Louis ceases to recognize the Stuart pretender as king

15 Consequences of the war
Confirmation of the European system Powers accepted each other as members of the system Recognized each other as sovereign states free to negotiate, make war, and treaties adjusted balance of power through exchange of territories (third party territories?) Leaves France and England as the two major powers to export Europe to the world
