Book Description
This work presents an extended account of the Nootka Sound incident. This controversy was a conflict over the seizure of vessels at Nootka Sound, an inlet on the western coast of Vancouver Island, that almost provoked a war between Great Britain and Spain. The accurate history presented in this work resulted from intense research and was drawn mainly from unpublished resources. The writer wonderfully delivered many significant yet unknown facts in simple words. Contents include: Introduction The English plans for occupying Nootka Sound The Spanish plans for occupying Nootka Sound—The conflicting claims before 1789 Martinez's operations at Nootka before Colnett's arrival The quarrel and the seizure The English prisoners in Mexico Attempts at peaceable settlement Europe prepares for war England's first demand granted America's relations to the controversy The national assembly and the family compact—Effect on the negotiation English ultimatum—Spanish defiance The Nootka Sound convention—Its reception and results Subsequent negotiations and final settlement of the Nootka Sound dispute
