 NU 2155 -- The Wars of Louis XIV
By chosing for their king Louis XIV's deadliest foe, William of Orange, instead of his fellow Catholic and ally James II, the English had become involved in a deadly confrontation between France and one side, and most of the rest of western Europe on the other.

Louis, to secure the main prize for one of his grandsons and avoid pan-European opposition, actually proposed a partition of the empire to his worst enemy, William of Orange, a big step for such a proud man, and in 1698, a partition treaty was signed between England and France.
