"Reasons For A War Against Spain" presents a compelling argument for military action against Spain, articulated in the form of a letter from a London merchant involved in trade with America to a Member of the House of Commons. This tract, penned by L. D., outlines the economic and strategic justifications for engaging in war with Spain, focusing on the protection and expansion of British trade interests in the Americas.
The document provides a fascinating insight into the political and economic considerations of the time, offering a detailed 'Plan of Operations' designed to secure British dominance in the region. It reflects the mercantile policies and colonial ambitions that shaped Anglo-Spanish relations and contributed to the outbreak of conflict. This historical document is valuable for those studying British colonial history, international trade, and the dynamics of 18th-century European power struggles.
