Attacks on Fuerteventura in 1740
From Warlike
Q22936135
The 1740 attacks on the island of Fuerteventura, also known as the Battles of El Cuchillete and Tamasite, by English privateers took place within a month of one another, and were both put down with little trouble by the island's militia. They coincided with the Anglo-Spanish war of 1739. Privateering by the British was common during this conflict and the attacks on Fuerteventura in 1740 can be seen as an extension of this period of discord between Britain and Spain.
