Tensions between Spain and Britain are high.
The Treaty of Passarowitz, which had finally ended the war with the Ottoman Empire on July 21, 1718, leads to the formation of the Quadruple Alliance, with the Emperor now joining the Triple Alliance on August 2, 1718.
A British fleet led by Sir George Byng on August 11 effectively eliminates the Spanish fleet stationed off Sicily at the Battle of Cape Passaro.
