Succesion War


In 1700, the Spanish King Carles II died without sons. He appointed the French prince Felip of Borbo to become the new King of Spain.
A lot of countries didn’t want Felip like the Spanish King because it would be a strengthen of the borbons dynasty in Europe.
They put against Felip, Carles of Austria. With this event started the Succession War. Castella supported Felip but Catalonia supported Carles of Austria because they were frightened that Carles could take out their institutions.
The War in Spain was favourable to the Felip warriors, but when Britain and Holand firmed the Utrecht treat in 1713 the foreign support went out and Catalonia became alone.
Barcelona fought against 40000 warriors with 6000 warriors managed  by Rafael Casanova and Atoni Villarroel.
Finally the September 11th of 1714 Barcelona was defeated.
