		The war also incorporated the trade conflict between Britain and Spain, now dubbed the War of Jenkins’s Ear, which began in October 1739; and the third of the French and Indian Wars (known as King George’s War) in North America, which began in 1744.

	Reviews in History: The Right to be King: The Succession to the Crown of England. 1603-1714
		Earlier in the seventeenth century, the death of Duke Vincenzo II Gonzaga in 1627 led to the War of the Mantuan Succession which provided an Italian theatre for the Thirty Years War, a conflict the immediate cause of which was a dispute over the Bohemian succession.
		The very nomenclature of the history of armed conflict during this period underscores the importance of succession in a society in which the family stood at the centre of power-holding.
		It was not until a late phase in the sixteenth-century Wars of Religion that the question of the nature of the royal succession became paramount; by the assassination of Henri III in 1589 the seemingly factional and confessional sequence of 'civil wars' had transformed themselves into yet another 'succession war'.

	Managing succession within the APS
		Succession management should focus on identifying a robust field of potential candidates for leadership roles: it does not involve the development of lists or 'queues' for promotion, which would conflict with the merit Value.
		In particular, succession management must operate alongside openness in selection processes, a fundamental consideration in terms of the APS Values regarding merit and equity, and Agency Heads are focusing in particular on very senior levels of their organisations, and on agencies within portfolios.
		Succession management is seen as a means of meeting future business needs in particular organisational areas and is one of a range of strategies within the broader workforce planning framework.

	THE LAW OF SUCCESSION TO THE CROWN IN NEW ZEALAND

		The settling of the succession on the heirs of the Electress Sophia was an extension of this elective approach, but the succession thereafter proceeded by inheritance.

	H-Net Review: William J. McGill on The War of the Austrian Succession, 1740-1748
		The names we commonly give the wars of the old regime seldom epitomize accurately or explain sufficiently those conflicts, and this is abundantly true of "The War of the Austrian Succession." No central theme or single conflict binds together the multiplicity of rivalries, tensions, struggles, dynastic and diplomatic machinations that constitute the war.
		Anderson remarks that "The war of the Austrian Succession therefore made international relations more fluid by eroding old assumptions and certainties." More succinctly, the War of the Austrian Succession was the proof-text for the necessity of the Diplomatic Revolution of 1756.
		Habsburg successes against Spanish claims in Italy were mitigated by the deep sense of injury against British favoritism toward Sardinia-Savoy.
