About this audiobook
The War of the Spanish Succession, fought from July 1701 to September 1714, and triggered by the November 1700 death of Charles II of Spain, was a conflict for control of the Spanish Empire between his heirs, Philip of Anjou – grandson of the French king. Louis XIV – and Archduke Charles of Austria. August 13, 1704, the battle of Blenheim occurred ahead of the town of Höchstädt, occupied by the Frankish Bavarian army, hence the French name for the battle. It was one of the battles that changed the course of the war, which until then had favored the French and Spanish Bourbons. In the battle simulation, I will try to correct the flaws presented in the historical analysis, testing improvements in the maneuvers. And then we will prove which maneuver will prevail, both being instructed with the best and maximum effort.
