Descripción:

The War of the Quadruple Alliance was a conflict between Spain and an alliance of European powers consisting of Austria, Britain, France, and the Dutch Republic, which lasted from 1718 to 1720.

The war began when the Spanish king, Philip V, refused to comply with the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht, which had ended the War of the Spanish Succession. The Quadruple Alliance sought to enforce the terms of the treaty and prevent Philip V from expanding his power in Italy.

The conflict was characterized by several key battles, including the Battle of Cape Passaro, and was fought mainly between Spain and the Quadruple Alliance.

The war ended with the Treaty of The Hague in 1720, which saw Philip V agree to the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht and cede territories in Italy to the Quadruple Alliance. The war had a significant impact on the politics and society of Europe, and it marked the beginning of the balance of power system, which aimed to prevent any one state from becoming too powerful.
