The War of Jenkins' Ear (known as Guerra del Asiento in Spain) was a conflict between Britain and Spain that lasted from 1739 to 1748, with major operations largely ended by 1742. Its unusual name, coined by Thomas Carlyle in 1858, refers to an ear severed from Robert Jenkins, a captain of a British merchant ship and acknowledged smuggler. The severed ear was subsequently exhibited before the British Parliament.
The seeds of conflict began with the separation of an ear from Jenkins following the boarding of his vessel by Spanish coast guards in 1731, eight years before the war began. Popular response to the incident was tepid until several years later when opposition politicians and the British South Sea Company hoped to spur outrage against Spain, believing that a victorious war would improve Britain’s trading opportunities in the Caribbean. Also ostensibly providing the impetus to war against the Spanish Empire was a desire to pressure the Spanish not to renege on the lucrative asiento contract, which gave British slavers permission to sell slaves in Spanish America.

The War of Jenkins' Ear was a conflict between Great Britain and Spain that lasted from 1739 to 1748, with major operations largely ended by 1742. Its unusual name, coined by Thomas Carlyle in 1858,relates to Robert Jenkins, captain of a British merchant ship, who exhibited his severed ear in Parliament following the boarding of his vessel by Spanish coast guards in 1731. This affair and a number of similar incidents sparked a war against the Spanish Empire, ostensibly to encourage the Spanish not to renege on the lucrative asiento contract (permission to sell slaves in Spanish America).
On the 23rd October 1739 England declared war on Spain in what became known as the War of Jenkins’ Ear. The writer Thomas Carlyle is credited with giving the conflict its name in his 1858 biography of the Prussian King Friedrich II. Jenkins, the captain of a British merchant vessel, had been separated from his ear a number of years before the war broke out, but his testimony in front of the British House of Commons a few years later ignited passions against the Spanish. Jenkins commanded the British brig Rebecca and was involved in trade with Spanish America. Although Spain had granted permission for Britain to transport limited goods and slaves, numerous smugglers took advantage and brought additional items into port. Spanish patrol boats therefore routinely boarded British ships, and it...

Wars are often seen as conflicts over land or freedom which last for long periods of time, inflicting huge suffering and damage. However every now and then, wars have been fought which don’t fit in the usual mould, and stand out in history as being unusual and even bizarre.

The War of the Austrian Succession involved most of the powers of Europe over the question of Maria Theresa's succession to the realms of the House of Habsburg.The war included King George's War in North America, the War of Jenkins' Ear , the First Carnatic War in India, the Jacobite rising of 1745 in Scotland, and the First and Second Silesian Wars.The war began under the pretext that Maria Theresa was ineligible to succeed to the Habsburg thrones of her father, Charles VI, because Salic law precluded royal inheritance by a woman—though it was commonly thought that the challenge of eligibility was an excuse put forward by Prussia and France to challenge Habsburg power.Austria was supported by Great Britain and the Dutch Republic, the traditional enemies of France, as well as the Kingdom o...

Wednesday Evening Preaching: May 25 2016 CORRESPONDING BIBLE VERSE: Romans 1:20-32 This here is a sermon I wish Pastor Lawson didn't have to preach. This transgender issue is a 'Wag the Dog' type situation, meaning for people who don't know the term, a DISTRACTION. This issue that gets thrown around in the mainstream media seemingly EVERY SINGLE DAY, is thoroughly unimportant compared to the killing and abuse of Black by law enforcement, issues with Social Security, two absolutely HORRIBLE candidates for the presidency, and 77 other pertinent issues. An amazingly sound teaching by the honorable Pastor Charles Lawson. I have been long convinced that Pastor Lawson has been enabled and equipped by God the Father to teach a congregation, as opposed to what goes on in many churches today....

In this lesson we continue on with the founding of the colony of Georgia. We talk about the War of Jenkin's Ear, and the pivotal Battle of Bloody Marsh - which really appeared to have aspects of Divine Intervention. We also talk about Gideon and how God has a plan, and just wants us to be open to His plan. Finally we start talking about the 5th oldest college in the United States, and the first college in New York - King's College.

John Tooby 3/9/15 Political Epidemiology, History, and the Evolutionary Psychology of Outrage. Don’t shoot! Rodney King. Remember the Maine. The Reichstag Fire. Guernica. The War of Jenkins Ear. The murder of Emmet Till. Events in which one or more members of one group injure the welfare of one or more members of another group (“outrages”) typically provoke extraordinarily strong and frequently violent responses directed more or less indiscriminately at members of the group from which the offender or offenders came. Such events are treated entirely differently than parallel harms performed by individuals within groups. They unleash cultural processes in which accounts of harms rapidly spread through the group the victims came from. Generally, as news of the (sometimes fabricated) harm is...
