But from 1701 Spain had no heir to the crown. The closest relate was son of the French King, this caused friction because Europe knew that if Spain and France's kingdom's where both from the same family if they allied the balance of power in Europe would be heavily uneven.

In the wake of the revolutions Spain, and Great Britain sign the Treaty of Leon to support each other against their revolutions, this treaty would help the Anglo-Spanish relation, with Brazil also rebelling Portugal also aided against their invasion.

The Wars in America would drag out with heavy losses. The European monarchs had much better armies and equipment and had the upper hand, even with the unity of the American revolutionists. Benjamin Franklin from American appealed to France and Russia to aid against the English, Spanish and Portuguese. These European nations waited to see how the Revolutionist were doing.
