Treaty of London (1700)

The Treaty of London, agreed on March 25, 1700 and sometimes known as the Second Partition Treaty, was an attempt to restore the Pragmatic Sanction following the death of Duke Joseph Ferdinand of Bavaria, which had undermined the First Partition Treaty (the Treaty of Den Haag). Under the new Treaty, Archduke Charles (later Charles VI), the second son of the Emperor Leopold I was to become King of Spain when Carlos II died and acquire her oversees colonies.
