The Spanish War of Succession (1701-1714) was a major conflict triggered by the death of the childless Spanish king Charles II, which led to a power struggle over the Spanish throne. It pitted the Bourbon family, which aimed to unite Spain and France under one rule, against a coalition of European powers including Britain, Austria, and the Netherlands, who sought to prevent this dominance. The war ended with the Treaty of Utrecht, which recognized Philip V as king of Spain but required him to renounce claims to the French throne, thereby maintaining a balance of power in Europe.
