War for the Spanish succession was a major European conflict triggered by the claims to the throne, after the death of barren Charles II, last Spanish king of the Habsburg dynasty. Charles bequeathed his possessions to Philip, Duke of Anjou, the grandson of French King Louis XIV, who later became Philip V of Spain. This antagonized England and Holland, which were in growing competition with France. The Battle of Blenheim fought on August 13, 1704 was one of the turning points of the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-14), saving Vienna from the Franco-Bavarian army & preventing the collapse of a Grand Alliance. Bavaria was knocked out of the war, and Louis's hopes for a quick victory came to an end. #WarofSpanishSuccession #Spanishsuccessionwar #animatedhistory #treatyofthehague #spanishempire #dukeofmarlborough #charles2
