Cadiz, Jamaica or London? The British colony at Cadiz and the changes of English trade with Spanish America (1655-1750)
Abstract Neither the exchanges through Jamaica, which had been seized from Spain in 1655, nor the privileges enjoyed by the South Sea Company as the result of the Tratado del Asiento from 1713 onwards entailed the decadence of the British merchant colony at Cadiz in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In order to explain this apparent paradox, the article analyses the contribution of the Cadiz Factory to British imperial and commercial expansion in a period characterised by the strengthening of the ties between the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Asian worlds.
