Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Austrians wanted to keep the Spanish throne in the Hapsburg family and hoped to gain power in Italian territory. Because the Hapsburgs ruled Austria, allowing Louis XIV to inherit the throne of Spain through his wife (the sister of Spanish King Charles II) kept the Hapsburg bloodline on the Spanish throne. Austria was a well-established power with a minimal navy, so it aligned its interests with France's in the War of Spanish Succession.
