Treaty Of El Pardo (1728)
{{short description, 1728 treaty The Treaty of El Pardo (or Convention of El Pardo) was concluded between Kingdom of Great Britain, Great Britain and Spain in March 1728 at the El Pardo Palace in Madrid. It effectively brought an end to the Anglo-Spanish War (1727) by sorting out the main points of dispute between the two states although a subsequent Congress of Soissons and a Treaty of Seville would build on them. The British aim was to make peace with Spain before it joined a potential alliance with Austria. However, the terms, agreed by the British Ambassador in Madrid, Benjamin Keene were considered too lenient by his superiors in London, and they were repudiated leading to the later discussions at Soissons, which lasted nearly a year.Browning p.54-56 Despite the efforts of diplomats, a War of Jenkins' Ear, fresh war would break out between Britain and Spain in 1739, little more than a decade later.

Treaty Of El Pardo (1739)
The Convention of Pardo, also known as the Treaty of Pardo or Convention of El Pardo, was a 1739 agreement between Britain and Spain. It sought to resolve trade issues between the two countries and agree boundaries between Spanish Florida and the English colony of Georgia. The Convention established a Boundary Commission to set borders between Georgia and Florida, while Spain provided compensation of £95,000 for confiscated British property. In return, the British South Sea Company would pay £68,000 to settle Spanish claims for profits due on the ''Asiento de Negros''. Despite being owned by the British government, it refused to do so; both countries rejected the Convention, leading to the outbreak of the War of Jenkins Ear on 23 October 1739. Background In the 18th century, wars were often fought over commercial issues, due to the then dominant economic theory of mercantilism. This viewed trade as a finite resource, so if one country increased its share, it must be at the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Treaty Of El Pardo (1761)
The Treaty of El Pardo was signed on 12 February 1761 between representatives of the Spanish and Portuguese empires. Based on the terms of the treaty, all aspects of the Treaty of Madrid in 1750 were repealed. The reasons for this were the difficulties encountered in the 1750s to establish a clear border between the Spanish and Portuguese new South American possessions in such an enormous undeveloped area. After both the Guarani War of 1756 and the accession to the throne of King Charles III of Spain in 1759, the Spanish king had decided that a general revision of the treaties made with Portugal was necessary.

Treaty Of El Pardo (1778)
The Treaty of El Pardo signed on 11 March 1778 sought to end conflict between Spain and Portugal in the Río de la Plata region, along the modern boundary between Argentina and Uruguay. It confirmed Spanish ownership of Colonia del Sacramento, now in Uruguay, while Portugal ceded possession of strategically important territories in Africa, now the modern state of Equatorial Guinea. In return, Spain withdrew from lands to the north, most of which are in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. Background For nearly 300 years, differing interpretations of the Treaty of Tordesillas led to border disputes between Spain and Portugal over the Río de la Plata region. Portuguese encroachments in this area allowed their merchants to evade commercial restrictions imposed by Spain on the importation of goods into Spanish South America. This culminated in 1690 when Portugal established the trading post of Colonia del Sacramento, just across the river from Buenos Aire ...
