War of the Spanish Succession

The War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) was a European conflict of the early 18th century, triggered by the death of the childless Charles II. His closest heirs were members of the Austrian Habsburg and French Bourbon families. Spain was divided and a war broke out between the Bourbons of France and Spain and the Grand Alliance (HRE, Great Britain, Dutch Republic, Habsburg’s of Spain). Great Britain with the new found strategies of deploying super powered people in the front lines was able to control every front against France  but in land wars against the HRE and inland Europe were tilted to French side. After many years of conflict the war reached a stalemate and a peace treaty of  Baden was signed. Great Britain took hold of many of the Spanish and French colonies in The Caribbean and focused more of it’s research on super powers resulting in the creation of SPURI (Super powered and unnatural research initiative). The crown of Spain’s was renounced for Philip (who was from the Bourbon famility) and France signed not to fiddle with inside politics in Spain. Spain’s and French economic situation struggled for a while due to loosing trade power in The Caribbean though it wasn’t as bad cause they were left with the most important ports. In 50 or so years relations between Great Britain and Spain increased due to very close trade.
