2 WAR OF THE SPANISH SUCCESSION (1701-13)
Ultimately a struggle between King Louis XIV of the France and the Habsburg emperor over who got to choose/provide the next king of Spain. The Dutch, many German states, and Britain sought to prevent France from extending its power in Europe (and the reach of Catholicism). War proved politically divisive. The Tories dismayed at the huge sums required to finance a war that, in their view, had nothing to do with Britain. It was a continental affair. But the Whigs supported their war and their political fortunes were tied to British success.
