"The War of the Spanish Succession" takes the "War of the Spanish Succession" as the main line and tells the story of the great melee between the interest groups centered on the French Bourbon royal family and the Austrian Habsburg royal family from 1701 to 1714. Why was the War of the Spanish Succession a decisive battle between the Bourbons and the Habsburgs for European hegemony? What is the relationship between Louis XIV's strategic mistakes and the shaken position of France's hegemony? During the war, how did the powerful powers with ulterior motives break through the moral bottom line and draw chestnuts from the fire under treaty constraints in order to maximize their interests? Why did the irrational compromises among the great powers determine that the European political landscape was fragile after the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht? This book will answer it in detail.
