The Spanish-Portuguese Peace of 1715: the Iberian Diplomacy at Utrecht
Abstract
Historians have considered the Peace of Utrecht as a key point for the configuration of Early Modern Europe and the development of a new international system based on a balance of powers. Given this, most part of researches about the negotiations have focused on the relations between England, the main war’s winner, and the Bourbons. However, the aim of this article is studying the Spanish-Portuguese Peace of 1715 in depth and contributing towards a plural look to Utrecht. Furthermore, through the analyses of the Peace conversations between Madrid and Lisbon, this paper wants to highlight the disagreements between Spain and Portugal in force after the secession of 1668 and the revival experimented by them.Downloads
