Descrição:

A treaty between the belligerents of Queen Anne's War that ended said conflict. It recognized King Philip V as the King of Spain, but forced him to renounce his claims to the French throne, ensuring that Spain and France would not unify. Furthermore, Spain ceded Gibraltar to Great Britain and Sicily to Savoy. France ceded Newfoundland, Rupert's Land, and Nova Scotia to Great Britain. Most importantly, Great Britain was granted a monopoly over the asiento, the slave trade between Africa and Spanish America, from the Dutch.
