Not exactly "recent", but relevant, because the people involved are around in 1730-1731 thinking the things that lead to 1733. 1730-1731 is very much a transitional period.
Context
Fed up with Britain's apparent defection (signing the Pragmatic Sanction), paranoid that Britain has agreed to force the Pragmatic Sanction on France (they have not), determined to bring down the Habsburgs, and eyeing Lorraine among other things, France makes an agreement with Spain. Philip V, remember, is Louis XV's uncle, hence this is called a "family pact."
Terms
Philip gets Naples and Sicily back.
Don Carlos still gets to inherit Parma and Tuscany (remember, Gian Gastone won't die until 1737).
Spain takes trading privileges away from Britain and gives them to France.
France agrees to defend Spain if Britain attacks Spain over this.
