Description

the War of Succession was an international conflict fought on Spanish soil during the years 1701 to 17015. The cause that triggered the conflict was the death of Charles II without descendants, which triggered that Philip V (Bourbon, whose main supporter was the Crown of Castile) faced Archduke Charles (Habsburg, defended by the Crown of Aragon). Different international powers sided with one side or the other, in particular the British fought on the side of Archduke Charles.
