Actualy I think this is an interesting situation. Britain and the Netherlands (and the rest of Europe) obviously don't want a Franco-Spanish Union, but an Austro-Spanish union is also pretty (although slightly less) bad. I rwaly could see the war ending in an Austro-Spanish union and soon after round 2 in which the Netherlands, Britain and France are allied to break up that union.Not gonna happen. The allied powers didn't want a Union between Spain and France and they wanted a union between Spain and Austria even less. No one would allow such a union exist. If Austria tried to push for it we could see Britain and the Netherlands switch sides to support the French claims.
