It was the last close engagement of British and foreign troops in Great Britain. The Battle of Glen Shiel is sometimes considered an extension of the 1715 rising, but is more correctly a separate rebellion and was the only rising to be extinguished by a single military action.〔Oxford Companion to Scottish History, p. 349, By Michael Lynch, Oxford University Press, ISBN 978-0-19-923482-0.〕 It is sometimes known as ''the Nineteen''.

Great Britain received control over Spanish possessions, such as Menorca and Gibraltar, which it could defend, as Britain possessed by far the largest navy in the world at that time. Philip's plans to restore Spanish power would lead to a violent clash with Britain. Philip and his Italian counsellor, Cardinal Giulio Alberoni, carried out a campaign in the western Mediterranean. In 1717, 8,500 infantrymen and 500 cavalrymen sailed from Barcelona and occupied Sardinia without difficulty. The next year, 38,000 troops did the same with Sicily. The British government responded on 11 August; declaring a violation of the Utrecht Treaty, the Royal Navy intercepted and destroyed the fleet of José Antonio de Gaztañeta in the region of Cape Passaro, near Syracuse. Spain then declared war, with Alberoni deciding to take the initiative and stir up trouble in Britain to forestall an attack on the Iberian Peninsula.〔(Battle of Glenshiel@ads.ahds.ac.uk ) By A.H Miller.
