3 sept 1798 año - Attack on St. George's Caye
Descripción:
The Spanish attack on St. George's Caye occurred during the Battle of St. George's Caye. This happened between September 3rd and September 10th of the year 1798. It was a short battle between the British Baymen, black slaves, and the Spaniards, just off the coast of present-day Belize. The outcome of the battle/attack was a British victory. This is a significant event because there were slaves on the battlegrounds, and they became part of the battle. These slaves were a part of the trade route, which made them an asset to it. The battle was mainly a conflict of land control, which is another important factor for both the trade routes and the material goods themselves. In fact, this battle has such significance that it has become a national and historical event, which is celebrated on September 10, in the country of Belize, to recognize the heroic participants from the battle.
