Versailles Coalition (1720) (A Shot of Bourbon)

The Versailles Coalition was an international treaty signed in 1720 by the Regent of France Phillipe II and the King of Spain Philip V, agreeing to limited bilateral rule of the Kingdom of France under the Bourbon Empire. The treaty declares the French consent to Philip V's ascension to the newly established Bourbon throne, with Philip V taking the name Emperor Ferdinand I. The treaty outlines that the French crown maintains rule and complete deciding power over all French holdings and un-disputed claims prior to the treaty's ratification, cementing France's presence in the New World and preventing further war between Spain and France.
