Anglo-Spanish War of 1727-29

Years: 1727 - 1729

The Anglo-Spanish War of 1727–1729 is a limited war that takes place between Great Britain and Spain during the Eighteenth Century, and consists of a failed British attempt to blockade Porto Bello and a failed Spanish attempt to capture Gibraltar.

It eventually ends with a return to the previous status quo ante bellum following the Treaty of Seville.

“What experience and history teach is that nations and governments have never learned anything from history."

―Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Lectures (1803)
