Convention of Pardo
The Convention of Pardo was a 1739 treaty between Great Britain and Spain designed to find a solution to the issues of smuggling, the Asiento and freedom of the seas that had strained relations between the two states for the past few decades, and was agreed to try to prevent war breaking out. It is also known as the Treaty of Pardo or the Convention of El Pardo.
==Background==
Spanish authorities had been trying to enforce a ban on foreign ships trading with Spanish colonies in the West Indies and South America, and had arrested the crews of numerous British ships and punished some of them, such as the notable case of Robert Jenkins who had his ear cut off by Spanish Coast Guards. The issue provoked a surge of public opinion in Britain clamouring for a military solution. The Spanish were not in a position to fight at that moment, and were keen to avoid war till the 1740s when they were ready to defend their colonies against several incoming English attacks. The British cabinet, dominated by Sir Robert Walpole and the Duke of Newcastle also wanted to maintain peace to keep selling slaves to the Spanish colonies, and so the two sides met in Pardo to discuss terms.
