The Caribbean Basin: Cockpit of the New World

Roland Ely

Chapter 2 in Peace, Development and Security in the Caribbean, 1990, pp 34-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For several decades after the voyages of Columbus there were no threats to Spanish hegemony in the Caribbean Basin. Challenges from other European powers led to a modus vivendi: ‘No peace beyond the line’, from 1559 to 1684, whereby hostilities in the Caribbean would not affect the status quo in Europe. The War of the Spanish Succession began what has been referred to as the Second Hundred Years’ War (1701-1815) between France and England, in which the stakes were sometimes higher in the New World than in the Old.
