During the year, Britain captures a large number of colonies
from other European powers. General Monkton seizes St Vincent,
while Martinique is also taken on 12th February, and Grenada on
10th March, all from French possession. Havana is taken from Spain
on 14th August, while on the other side of the world, Britain gains
the Spain colony of Manila on 6th October.
