April 11, 1713
The Peace of Utrecht ended the War of the Spanish Succession through a series of bilateral treaties signed in the Dutch city of Utrecht. Philip V was confirmed as King of Spain but renounced the French succession, preventing the union of the two crowns. Britain gained Gibraltar, Minorca, Nova Scotia, Hudson Bay, Newfoundland, and the Asiento (the right to supply enslaved Africans to Spanish colonies).
