ResumoIn the early eighteenth century, a series of conflicts took place: the War of the Spanish Succession, which ended in 1714. In 1721, the Northern European Wars ended with the Peace of Nystad. The War of the Polish Succession from 1733 to 1738 put Augustus III on the throne. From 1740 to 1748, the date of the Peace of Aachen, more conflicts broke out between Prussia, Spain, and France over the succession of Maria Theresa to the Austrian throne. Emperor Charles VI in 1713 issued an edict, Pragmatic Sanction, that changed the universally accepted Salic Law that precluded female inheritance, extending this right to female members of the Habsburg family. All these conflicts marginally involved Franconia, Bavaria, and Württemberg, which led to more stable local governments, in particular that of Karl Eugen II in Württemberg (1728–1793), who reigned from 1737 to 1793.
