Spain Against the Great European Powers - War of the Quadruple Alliance

⭐️The year is 1713, after 13 years of conflict, the War of the Spanish Succession ends with the Treaty of Utrecht. This treaty recognised the French-born Philip V as king of Spain.
⭐️However this treaty also forced Spain to cede territories in Italy and the Spanish Netherlands. But Philip wanted to recover former Spanish territories in Italy and thus they invaded Sicily.
⭐️This action would trigger Austria, the Dutch Republic and the former rivals, Great Britain and France to form an alliance against Spain, starting a 2 year war, know as the War of the Quadruple Alliance.

Good vid. People often act as if after the War of the Spanish Succession and the start of the Bourbon connection, France and Spain were immidiately Friends. That was clearly not the case
