Let's say that the young King Louis XV of France dies at a young age.

First off, possible heirs are Philippe, Duc d'Orléans and Philip V of Spain. Now Philip of Spain was refused the throne of France in the treaty of Utrect, but let's say he goes for it anyway, against his cousin.

This leads most likely to a civil war in France and another European war, so soon after the War of the Quadruple Alliance.

But let's say again that Philip V of Spain wins, one way or another, and thus unifies the kingdoms of France and Spain.

What happens next? And what are the consequences of the war that brought this about? Discuss
