What a great story - you have filled in some gaps regarding the all three of our Navies (the White, Blues & Red Ensigns). My Father commanded a Cargo/ passenger liner for approximately ten years in the 1960s & early 70s. Her (his?) name was SS George Anson - sister ship being the first Sir Francis Drake. Since there was advertised as one class (first) only there were slight differences - namely between between Promande Deck & or b Decks. She.was a classic ‘thre island’ turbine steamer with exceptionally good.lines, and only a maximum of 186 passengers.. Of course the both ships visited many of the ports you mentioned - but only in the Far Eastern ones. So thank you!
Congratulations! You told us this story in the same way a Spanish would have done. Neutrally as Historians should. A suggestion for a video: What about the Fantastic War?
And there, we have it ! Brilliant, as of usual !! This is a "wish episode come true" as far as I'm concerned. As a military history buff (well, at times !) I first stumbled on the battle of Orford Ness (1704) and also the Psilander incident of 1940 - now forgotten bits of history trivia - It all began when I posed the question - what of Sweden and the British empire actually being at war - has it ever happened ?? Lord knows, Sweden has - at some point or another - been at war with every major power in Europe, but not Britain - well, if we disregard the wars of succession in the 18th century - and the odd visit of the Royal Navy to the Baltic at some point in time or other - but these are all events on par with the "Pig War" or "the War of Jenkins Ear".. And still, there is the capture of Portobello, the Caribbean and Blas De Lezo none the least - whom I never heard about - all the pieces of the puzzle come together, all in one episode of the History Chap !
I used to line in Dagenham and my local pub was.... The Admiral Vernon, the other pub I visited was The Matapan. One battle and one victorious (?) Admiral
I remember my history teacher at prep school loved to tell the story of the War of Jenkins Ear. Those were the days when history consisted of Kings & Queens and battles 😆
Did you say enjoy Sir! Nay I say, twas more than mere enjoyment. Twas pure pleasure to listen to a grand narrative of a near forgotten war. Bravo! I await your next video lecture Sir. God bless you and family!
I first learned of the War of Jenkin's ear while playing a pirate video game! I always took the side of the British because Spanish ships always yielded more plunder, but then had to beef up my defenses because the Spanish didn't like me. Why Maypole lost his job puzzles me, as he was against the war from the start and warned everyone that fighting a distant war with Spain would not go well.
I’m sure you meant to write “Walpole” & not “Maypole” 🤔 - but the supercilious 😒 & ostensibly “helpful” ‘Autocorrect’ function ✍️🧐 - that always insists it knows best - had other ideas… 😣
Excellent video THE WAR OF THE EMPIRES’ For hundreds of years, the English dreamt of breaking the Spanish Empire. The Founding Fathers of the USA were the most enthusiastic British subjects. Over the next 100 years, they encouraged various independent movements, even loaning their Admirals and Generals. The Spanish Empire was broken. The fight/ mentality still continues to this day.

Really interesting. But please note that the composer of Rule Britannia! was Thomas Arne (Augustine was his unused middle name). It was the whole masque that was performed at Cliveden. It's called Alfred, and Rule Britannia! is the final part.
Wow. Who would ever have imagined that a largely forgotten conflict with such a weird name would be linked to so much familiar history? Thank you for yet another enlightening trip down British military history!

I live on Saint Simons Island, Georgia where we have a tiny park that marks the spot of the Battle of Bloody Marsh. There are a few story boards there. But mostly it just offers an open view of the Marsh. I believe Fort Frederica National Monument, which is about five miles north of the site, has more information on the battle.
There was a famous message from Admiral Vernon to Admiral de Lezo when Vernon decided to leave which ended: " I will leave now , but I'll return with my fleet again" to which Admiral de Lezo replied: " For you and your fleet to come back again , you will need an entire new fleet built , for this one would only be good for transporting coal from Ireland to London"....

Nothing change so Spain won keeping the control of the Caribe so that some years later Spain was a key partner of the Americans in the Independence War ( with money, supplies and help of the spanish army from Florida with the general Bernardo de Galvez).So, if England had been able to conquer Cartagena de Indias probably would be able to control the Caribe and the spanish help to the Americans would be much more difficult.
George Washington reconoció posteriormente que sin la ayuda de España EEUU nunca se hubiera independizado de Inglaterra, luego nos lo agradecieron muy bien quitándonos en el año 1898 Cuba, Filipinas y Puerto Rico. Cosas que pasan.🤨
Hay una batalla ganada por los españoles muy importante que los ingleses hablan poco que es la de Pensacola con el almirante Bernardo de Gálvez gracias a esa victoria España recuperó Florida y debilitó mucho a los ingleses.
Buen relato profesor, pero debo aclarar que La Guaira que Vernon ataco esta ubicado en la costa de Venezuela y no en Panama, otro puerto que intentaron atacar fue Puerto Cabello que tampoco salio bien... por algo aqui seguimos hablando español, saludos!

As a Georgia this war has always interested, regardless of the name. It is the historical root behind the Georgia-Florida rivalry that continues to this day.
Did Portugal had a role in this war (even diplomatically)? As Spain and France becoming allies, the natural course in Americas would be to Britain and Portugal join hands.
I am reaching out for help. The thought of Jenkins ear makes me want to go to war. Are there any known curs for this horrible condition. Please help me and people like me.
that word "patriot" is a funny old thing. it's root is ultimately greek, but my understanding is that it was used by aristocrats and the townspeople of France to describe, derisively, countryfolk.

You missed out Anson sacking Lima, while the local governor drilled his troops on the opposite hillside. Surely worth a mention?
I was in one of the ear wars. Like my father and grandfather. We don’t like to talk about it.
Man those Spanish forts were tough nuts to crack.
So when Jenkins asked Members of Parliament to "lend me your ears" it wasn't mere hyperbole. This man knew what he was asking of them.
I defeated a pushy Partner in a Philadelphia law firm by proving to him that 'The War of Jenkins' Ear' was not a mere fantasy of mine.
Always nice to get one over on a pushy partner or colleague
