In the second part of the war (1708-1712), Vendôme is overcome in Oudenarde (1708), Lille capitulates, and Spain shares our misfortune.
But Villars and Boufflers save the honor with Malplaquet (1709), Philippe V beats the archduke of Austria with Villaviciosa (1710), Duguay-Trouin removes Rio-Janeiro in Portugal (1711), Cassart devastates the Dutch and English colonies; finally Villars gains in Denain a bright victory (1712).
Europe, tired of the war, decides to decrease its requirements; the treaties of Utrecht (1713) and Rastadt (1714) leave Spain with the grandson of Louis XIV, but give to Austria Belgium, the Milanese and the kingdom of Naples; France yields to England Newfoundland and Acadie (News-Scotland).
