Des Alpes à la Sardaigne en passant par la Sicile : les États de la maison de Savoie à l'épreuve du jeu européen (1712-1720)*

2022 - Franco Angeli

206-226 p.

In 1713, Victor Amadeus II succeeds the royal quest that his precedes-sors had been pursuing for a century. Thanks to the support of Great Britain, he establishes his sovereignty in the Alps and becomes king of Sicily to counter any attempt at French and Austrian imperialism. His kingdom is at the center of the balance in Italy and Mediterranean. However, until 1720, the order of Utrecht is contested by the discon-tented powers, mainly Spain and Austria. This article proposes to show the impact of the European game in the (de)construction of the States of the House of Savoy. [Publisher's text].
