1.The two greatest powers(Spain, and the French) in Europe,were enemies and both were ruled by the French Bourbons. Other countries were concerned with the Bourbons amount of power, so they started a war to prevent Spain and France from joining.
2. Conflicts with other countries is what started this long, expensive war. The overall outcome is the Treaty of Utrecht which said that Louis's grandson was allowed to remain King of Spain so long as the thrones of France and Spain were not united. They also gave Britain Gibraltar and many other trading rights.

The war of Spanish Succession (1701-1714) happened so that the French and Spanish thrones wouldn't unite

The war was very costly and dragged on for 13 years. Afterward the treaty of utrecht was signed.

Great Britain took Gibraltar and Spanish and French thrones didnt unite. Spain also granted a British company to send enslaved Africans to Spain's American colonies.

The war of Spanish Succession was when many other countries, like England, Britian, Austria and Italy all joined forces to stop France and Spain, the two superpowers, from joining forces.
The war went on from 1701 to 1714 and cost France and Spain a lot of money. Many people from both sides died. Finally in the end they all came to a treaty. This would allow Loius XVI's grandson to remain as a ruler, but kept Spain and France from ever joining thrones again. Many countries gained important ground and trading rights. For example, Britian gained the Straight of Gibralter.
