This article discusses the foreign relations between France and Spain, with a focus on correspondence between Louis XIV, Philip V, and María Luisa Gabriela of Savoy, the queen consort of Spain. The author comments on their writings regarding the War of Spanish Succession of 1701-1714 and the impact this conflict had on their relationship.

The article presents the author's views on the colonial powers of New France and New England between 1661 and 1713 with reference to the Treaties of Utrecht. Various topics discussed include political history of both countries, American expansion over there, metropolitan powers of England and Amerindian powers.

This work aims to reveal the great importance for the education of the Duke of Anjou--the future Kang of Spain under the name of Philip V--of his knowledge and assimilation of Don Quijote into the general coordinates of a solid humanistic training, received by the grandchildren of Louis XIV. To deal with this issue, this essay is divided into three sections: the first looks at his educational environment; the second points out the significance of the writing of a "Quijote infantil" (i.e., a Don Quijote for children); and the third examines the great influence of those peers who were excellent connoisseurs of Cervantes's work.
