THE WAR OF SUCCESSION
Carlos II named Felipe, Duke of Anjou, as his successor to the Spanish throne
was the grandson of King Louis XIV of France.
In all the other countries this decision caused great fear. This would mean that the thrones of Spain and France would be united under a single ruler
an anti-Bourbon alliance was formed and Carlos, Archduke of Austria, was proposed as a candidate for the throne
this caused a war of succesion
candidates:
Felipe was proclaimed King of Spain (as Philip V) in Madrid in 1700
The Archduke Carlos was proclaimed King of Spain in Barcelona in 1705
The consequences of the War of Succession were the following:
France imposed Felipe V as King of Spain
Austria gained the Spanish Low Countries
Great Britain gained Gibraltar, Minorca and the French colonies in North America
Spain lost its European territories but maintained the ones it held in the Americas
The kingdom of Spain became a centralised state
Felipe V passed the Nueva Planta' decrees
