* The Peace of Utrecht was signed in 1713 and ended the bitterly fought War of the Spanish Succession, where Britain and France were key participants. The aims of Britain were achieved when the French were driven from the Spanish Netherlands and Italy, and it was decided that the crowns of France and Spain would not be united.
