The War of the Spanish Succession in the Catalan-speaking Lands

The War of the Spanish Succession affected the entire continent of Europe directly or indirectly. Within the Spanish
monarchy, most of the states in the Crown of Aragon sided with Archduke Charles of Austria (Charles III), while Crown
of Castile lent its support to Duke Philip of Anjou (Philip V). After the Treaty of Utrecht, Catalonia prolonged its resistance
for 14 more months under a republican government. At the end of the war, the victors imposed repression, exile and
the end to the Catalan constitutions.
