Legacy
The war provided a unique example during the eighteenth century when Britain and France were on the same side. It came during a period between 1716 and 1731 when the two countries were allies. Spain would later join with France in the Bourbon Compact, and the two would become continual enemies of the British.
The war also demonstrated the growing seapower of Britain, and the successful deployment of the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean Sea.
