Pirate attacks on Fuerteventura in 1740 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pirate attacks on Fuerteventura in 1740
The 1740 attacks on the island of Fuerteventura by English privateers took place within a month of one another, and were both put down with little trouble by the island's militia. They coincided with the Anglo-Spanish war of 1839. Privateering by the British was common during this conflict and the attacks on Fuerteventura in 1740 can be seen as an extension of this period of discord between Britain and Spain. == Background and wider war == The "War of Jenkins", so called in reference to the severed ear of a British captain, was a conflict between Britain and Spain that lasted from 1739 to 1748. Although the conflict officially ended in 1748, the main engagements were concluded by 1742. Although this article deals only with two such attacks by privateers on one side, privateering occurred on both sides during the conflict.
