A fennmaradástól a függetlenedésig. A Spanyol Monarchia és itáliai tartományai, 1665–1713
From Conservation to Dismembering: Italian Provinces and Spanish Monarchy, 1665–1713

Summary/Abstract: The Spanish Succession War was a civil and international conflict. It remarks the end of Spanish dominion in Italy, but it was the end of a long process of desegregation and not a fortuity happening. It’s a long term process more complex than an explanation of a falling down of an Empire. The Italian elites from 1640 were increasingly autonomous and, the weakly Spanish power, give them more authority in the second half of the century. They gained a position that determines that after the threats of Utrecht and Rastadt the change of sovereignty did not disturb, essentially, the dairy life, business and social behavior of the Italian elites (with the exception of singular personalities and a little group of families).
