I'm going to tell you what I have done today in social sciences lesson. At first we have corrected the homework: A scheme about the War of Spanish Succession, the main causes of that were that as Charles II died without direct descendants in his testament and he appointed Philip of Anjou as king but other European countries didn't like this idea because of the French Absolutism and they proposed another candidate to the throne: Archduke Charles of Austria. In the peninsula Castile supported Philip and Aragón supported the archduke Charles
The development of the war was the following:
- There were equal forces for both sides
- In 1705 The British invaded Gibraltar and Minorca
- In 1707 the French Castilian Army defeated those who opposed the archduke Charles in Almansa
- In 1713 The archduke Charles became emperor and fearing Austria´s reinforcement, the European powers looked for an agreement to end the war and they signed the treaty of Utrecht.
- The war continued in Catalonia until 1714, when Barcelona was bombed by Philip v´s order. finally they surrendered
·
Later we have spoken about the king Philip V, who abdicated in his son Louis I, but later he had to come back again to the government because his son died.
We have spoken also about other kings as Ferdinand VI, who became crazy after the death of his wife and who tried to impose a unique tax depending on the properties that the people had. In Valencia that was called equivalente, in Catalonia Cadastre and in Aragón única contribuciónIn order to try to impose this tax in Castile, the Marquis of Ensenada ordered a big survey. The Ensenada cadastre was a survey that contains a lot of information about the properties in Castile.
Finally Paqui has read us some quotes from a book called ''Las anécdotas de los Borbones''about Philip V and Ferdinand VI. And she has explained us that when Charles III came from Italy to reign, he changed the wearing customs of that ages , and in a museum there is a portrait of Philip V upside down because the people of that place didn't like him , because he ordered to burn the city during the War of Spanish Succession
