Great Italian War of 1739
The Great Italian War of 1739 was a conflict primarily between Spain and a coalition of Austria and Sardinia-Piedmont. The war erupted over territorial disputes in Italy, where Spain aimed to regain influence. The conflict involved battles for control over key regions, but it was marked by a series of military setbacks for Spain. Ultimately, the war ended without significant territorial changes, leading to the Treaty of Vienna in 1738, which reaffirmed existing boundaries and highlighted the ongoing rivalry for power in Italy and Europe during the 18th century.
