Treaty of Seville

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty of Seville formally ended the Anglo-Spanish War (1727–1729) on November 9, 1729 . It came about through the mediation of the French Minister André-Hercule de Fleury . This was preceded by the conclusion of a preliminary peace on May 31, 1727 in Paris , which ended the fighting in Europe and the Pardo Convention of March 8, 1728, which put an end to the sea and trade war overseas. The status quo ante was restored. Spain thus once again confirmed the British possession of Gibraltar and Menorca , while Great Britain assured in return that it would support the establishment of a secondary school for Don Carlos , the son of the Spanish queen.
