1. War of the Spanish Succession

The death of childless Charles II of Spain in November 1700 led to a struggle for control of the Spanish Empire between his heirs, Philip of Anjou and Charles of Austria, and their respective supporters. It was a global war, with fighting taking place in Europe, Asia, and America. At the end of the war, Philip II, who was the successor chosen by Charles II as a descendant of Charles' paternal half-sister Maria Theresa, became King of Spain and of its overseas empire. The Spanish possessions in Europe were partitioned between various European Monarchies.

Disestablishment

January 1721: The Kingdom of Sardinia - after the War of the Spanish Succession - by virtue of the Treaty of London of 1718 and the Treaty of The Hague of 1720 passed, in that last year, to Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy, who associated the hereditary states of the formed by the Principality of Piedmont with the Duchy of Savoy, the County of Nice and Asti, the duchy of Aosta, the duchy of Monferrato, the lordship of Vercelli, the marquisate of Saluzzo and a part of the duchy of Milan (to these was added then the Duchy of Genoa, following the annexation of the Republic of Genoa decided by the Congress of Vienna). The denomination began to be used progressively to indicate all of the Savoy possessions even if formally the Kingdom of Sardinia continued to be limited to the island of the same name and be institutionally distinct from the so-called mainland states of the Savoy dynasty.
