- Abstract
For the long and warlike reign of Felipe V (1700-1746) Spain and Great Britain mostly were fighting each other, but there was a short period (1729-1732) in which both nations had an interested friendship. Its main result for Felipe V was the British diplomatic support to overcome the resistance of the Austrian Emperor to send the Spanish Infante Don Carlos to Italy as heir to the duchies of Parma, Piacenza and Tuscany and the naval support for quartering in Tuscany 6.000 Spanish troops. Britain expanded the commercial advantages in America that it had obtained in Utrecht. The joint naval expedition to Italy marked the first political success of Philip’s revisionist policy, focused on recovering the Spanish presence in Italy. In this paper we treat the journey of Don Carlos to Italy and the joint naval expedition that accompanied him.
