>>A Bourbon is still sitting in Spain award
Ackshually the Grand alliance achieved all it's demands it had initally made at the 1701 treaty of the Hague. Whether a Bourbon or a Habsburg ruled in Spain was irrelevent to the English and Dutch, and in fact they much perfered a Spanish partition. Spain would be their enemy either way, as Habsburg Spain had been for almost two centuries. You can argue it was a Habsburg defeat, as they did habour desires to rule all the Spanish domains, but it was undoubtedly an Anglo-Dutch victory.
England in Particular didn't even enter the war because of the union, but because Bourbon Spain randomly decided to ban English traders out of nowhere and Louis broke the treaty of Ryswick by recognising James II as King of England again after William's death.
>>Whigs FC didn't bring it home?!
>>I'm gonna hit me misus because it was da Tories or something
It's unironically the truth. The Whig Junto was forced from power and the pro-peace Tories would go onto dismiss Churchill right after he broke through the lines of Ne plus ultra, the last true obstacle between the allied army and Paris. Replacing him with Ormonde, who was ordered not to attack the French.
Had the Junto remained in power it is possible Churchill would have been able to march on Paris.
