Invasion of Cuba (1741) : ウィキペディア英語版
Invasion of Cuba (1741)

The invasion of Cuba took place between 4-5 August and 9 December 1762 during the War of Jenkins' Ear. A combined army and naval force under the command of Admiral Edward Vernon and Major-General Thomas Wentworth arrived off Cuba and fortified positions around their landing site at Cumberland Bay. Despite facing no serious opposition, neither commander felt prepared to advance on the Spanish settlement at Santiago de Cuba. Harassed by guerrilla raids and with a mounting sick list, the British finally evacuated the island after several months of inactivity.
==Background==
Vernon had made an unsuccessful attempt to capture Cartagena in 1741, and after his repulse he directed the fragments of his sickly and dispirited followers against the island of Cuba. The south and east of Cuba were so little populated, and so far from the capital, Havana, that they might have made a permanent establishment there.〔Pares, Richard. ''War and Trade in the West Indies'', Oxford university press, 1936 ISBN 0-7146-1943-4, pp. 91-92.〕
