The importance of the military element in the War of the Spanish Succession was decisive for the Austracist and Bourbon forces. The prominence of the armies and militias in the field of operations was followed by the need for Philip V to control the territories of the Crown of Aragon, for which the army was a relevant element. After the collapse of the foral regime, new criteria were established for the selection of personnel for the regidurias, which until then had been recruited by means of insaculation. The militarisation of the Aragonese territory was due to the fact that most of them had sworn allegiance to Charles of Austria, which led to a distrust of the monarch, which is why a kind of alliance was established with the military corps to guarantee order and obedience. The military administration would be reinforced in these territories practically until the second half of the 18th century, specifically until 1768-1769, as José Antonio Nieves Moreno says, when the trend began to change with a progressive victory of civilianism over militarism.
