In the war of the spanish succesion, France , Britain, and the United Provinces held a lot of peace talks before the end of the war.. Why did these peace talks not go through?

Because they couldn't agree on the terms.

Pivotal was the regime change at the British courts, which saw the Whigs ousted by the Tories & the death of the Austrian Archduke, which suddenly saw the prospect arise of seeing the two Habsburg branches reunited - to which the British and Dutch were "nope".
