In 1 718, as the famous Councils were not working well, he got rid of them by a kind of coup iitaiy and became Minister of Foreign Affairs. The alliance with England was doubtless of great utility to France, exhausted as she was after her years of war. But French statesmen should have utilised the rest now enjoyed by the country to improve the fleet, to encourage commerce, and to develop the colonies. The close connection with Spain should have been renewed, and preparations made for the inevit...able struggle with England. As it was, neither Dubois nor Fleury had far-sighted views, and neglected the true interests of France. Things now were ripe for war, little as France desired it. Alberoni had been hurried into war by Philip and Elizabeth, and his schemes had taken premature shape in the seizure of Sardinia in 1 717 and of Sicily in 17 18: Austria, thanks to the Peace of Passarowitz (21 July, 17 18), which relieved her from fear of the Turks, was free to attend to her menaced interests in the Mediterranean.
