Battle context
The Siege of Toulon was contested during the War of the Spanish Succession, though the supplied overview describes a different conflict and context. The structured facts record a Habsburg force of 35,000 under Victor Amadeus, Prince Eugene, and Cloudesley Shovell facing a French garrison under the Comte de Tessé, with Habsburg casualties reaching 13,000. The disparity between the attacking force and the recorded losses indicates a costly and likely unsuccessful effort to seize one of France's principal naval ports on the Mediterranean.
