Treaty of Madrid (1670)
The Treaty of Madrid of 1670 was concluded between England and Spain to settle their conflicts in the Caribbean. Spain recognised English possession of Jamaica, taken in 1655, together with the Cayman Islands and the other territories England then held in the Americas, while both sides agreed to suppress privateering. Henry Morgan's raid on Panama soon afterwards strained the settlement.
