| Following the War of Spanish Succession, both France under
Louis XIV and the Hapsburgs of Austria wanted the newly kingless Spain.
The war and conflicts that ensued prompted the peace, which divided up Spain
amongst many countries. The end of the war was settled with the Peace of
Utrecht, where Spain was ruled by a Hapsburg and England got the straight
of Gibraltar. |
