Britain gained a monopoly on the slave trade from the Spaniards, while also weakening its trade rival the Netherlands, and really began to dominate world trade.

In particular, the acquisition of Gibraltar and Minorca, which directly blocked the Mediterranean route, is one of Britain's most valuable treasures even today.

In addition to this, the British forced the French to expel the pretender to the throne, James Francis Edward Stuart, and recognized the succession to the English throne of George I of Hanover, the heir to the Stuart dynasty's heirless Queen Anne (daughter of James II).

This may seem like a bunch of meaningless admissions, without the benefits of actual territory and trade rights, but in fact these seemingly useless clauses resolved the biggest internal contradictions in Britain at the time and cleared the internal hidden dangers for development.

The aforementioned Jacobite Party, which was used to counter the British, originated here, but even if Franz did not take the initiative to fight for it, the title would eventually fall to the Habsburgs.

Incidentally, at this time the title was given to Francesco V of the Este line, who later became the Duke of Modena.

Modena is one of the four small Italian states.

France also signed a relinquishment of its claim to the northern Canadian colony of Hudson's Bay, and ceded Arcady and Newfoundland in eastern Canada.

In a sense, this led to the birth of Canada.

The final "Peace of Utrecht" wiped out all the blood and efforts of the French.

Although the Anglo-Saxons write history books that refer to the French as the first winner, in reality a country with a population of only 20 million lost two million people.

At that time, the world's largest navy was completely destroyed, and it took 20 years for the world's largest army to recover. Finances collapsed, social unrest, hunger riots broke out one after another, and the former Sun King became the "King of the Sun".

"King Tairi", because of the late syphilis of Louis XIV, coupled with the defeat in the war and changes in the domestic situation, caused deafness in one ear.

In addition, Louis XIV was once very beloved by the French, but his popularity plummeted after the War for the Spanish Throne, and people would swear almost every time he was mentioned.

The country was in ruins, the loss of overseas colonies, and the loss of important nodes at sea made it subject to others everywhere in the subsequent competition in the open sea.

The Peace of Utrecht stipulated that Spain and France could never be united, making all efforts futile.

This is also the reason why France and Spain were married again at this time, and the reaction of the European powers was surprisingly small.

The second biggest winner in the Anglo-Saxon population was Austria, but in reality Charles VI only got a bunch of enclaves, and at the same time was so discouraged that he could no longer suppress his own minorities by force, and could only cede power in exchange for support.

If it weren't for Prince Eugen (another on Heroesplatz) who came out of nowhere and violently attacked the Ottomans who took advantage of the situation, I am afraid that there would be another siege of Vienna, and if the luck was bad enough, it would not be a problem to destroy the country and destroy the species.

In addition, Spain, which lost to grandma's family at a glance, and the Netherlands, which was directly reduced to a second-rate country, also won the game.

(At that time, the Netherlands was a first-class power, and the sea coachmen were not called for nothing.) ）

According to the Anglo-Saxons, Spain lost all European territories outside its homeland and the economic hegemony of overseas colonization.

At the same time, Spain itself became the main battlefield, and almost every city changed hands several times, and the people were struggling to survive, and there were heavy casualties.

But! The Spaniards, who had been invaded in a frenzy, were united, and the separatist forces in the country were dealt a heavy blow, because after all, the war was burned, so this was a favorable condition for the implementation of a centralized policy.

The king from France brought advanced ideas: centralization, enlightenment thought, science and technology, and without the French, technology and ideas would not have spread, and even the heroic view of history would not dare to boast like this.

ConclusionAlthough Spain was in ruins and lost more than half of its territory, it made progress.

Among them, the only one who "works hard and complains", and there is a little "small loss", is the United Kingdom.

For the sake of world peace, they traveled thousands of miles to Europe to participate in the war, and along the way, they also took away the excess territory and trade privileges of other countries, and put all that dirty money in their own pockets.

"My big Anglo-Saxon stands out for helping others, not fighting in life, only good at fighting."

Although it is tempting to recast the glory of the Habsburgs, the fate of the Sun King is already in sight, and the decline of Spain, which lacks coal and iron in the industrial age, is almost inevitable, so Archbishop Räuscher said that no matter how fanciful it is, Franz is also lacking interest.

Prussia was the Austrian Empire's biggest rival in the German Confederation, and although it was still weak at this time, those who are familiar with history know that Prussia shouldered the burden of unifying Germany, and finally defeated Austria and France to form Germany.

Historically, Austria also wanted to marry Prussia to strengthen its control in the German Confederation, but it was strongly opposed from top to bottom.

However, the context was that the two countries were at loggerheads over Hesse, and that the Austrian Empire itself had suffered a heavy blow in the stormy year and was at a low point.

But at this time, Austria was a complete behemoth in the eyes of Prussia, not only the chairman of the German Confederation, but also the largest entity in the German Customs Union.

At the same time, the international influence was terrifying, and the traditions of the Holy Roman Empire made Prussia completely hopeless.

The previous refugee incident is the best proof of this, and even the Prussian and Austrian borders are not in Prussia's hands.

The difference in status between the two and the change in mentality are highly likely to affect the decisions made.

A marriage with Prussia would greatly ease the tension between the two countries, but it would be unrealistic to annex Prussia on this basis, but perhaps a peaceful partition of Germany could be achieved, or the German Confederation could remain as it was.

If the Holy Roman Empire is to be rebuilt or to adopt the Greater German plan, there must be a war between Austria and Austria, and it will not be stopped by so-called alliances or in-laws.

As for maintaining the status quo, it is only temporary, and war is inevitable when a careerist, or a not-so-wise king, comes to power.

Because reunification was the trend of the times, what Franz did was only to postpone the war, and the roots of the war did not disappear.

However, even if it is won, it will be difficult to create the so-called Great Germany, because the great powers are not fools, and multinational intervention and encirclement networks are inevitable.

If reunification is forced, it will be nothing more than a replica of the First World War.

There are two marriageable princesses in Prussia, one is Princess Louise, the youngest daughter of Prince William I of Salted Eggs, and the other is Princess Charlotte, the fourth brother of the current King William IV of Prussia.

Princess Louis was born in 1836 at the age of 10, and in 1851 she was just over marriageable age, just after the end of the Civil War.

Princess Charlotte was born in 1831 about the same age as Franz, but she was short-lived, dying in 1855.

Both are favored at home, and at the same time both have no interest in politics, which is very typical of the image of nineteenth-century princesses.

The resistance to the marriage with Prussia came more from the Hohenzollern family and the church, although the Habsburgs were not without pagan marriages, but Franz's character as a natural saint had been played, and the Austrian church would certainly not give up.

The Church in Prussia was also very opposed, and in fact no one in Prussia could solve the religious problems in the country before Bismarck came to power.

In particular, the Archbishop of Cologne even conspired with the bourgeoisie to overthrow the Prussian dynasty and establish a Catholic commercial republic.

In 1842, the King of Prussia had to order the continuation of the construction of the costly Cologne Cathedral in exchange for the support of some of the clergy.
