531. War of the Spanish Succession (i 701-17 14). — The War of the Spanish Succession covered the whole of the reign of Queen Anne. Respecting the causes and results of this war, 480 WAR OF THE SPANISH SUCCESSION 48 1 and of England's part in it, we have already spoken in connection with the reign of Louis XIV (sec. 451). Of what was there said we need here recall only the enumeration of the territorial gains which the war, and the Peace of Utrecht which closed it, brought to England ; namely, ...Gibraltar and the island of Minorca in the Old World, and Nova Scotia together with a clear title to New- foundland and the Hudson Bay Territory in the New. Of special interest in the present connection is that clause of the treaty between England and Spain whereby England took away from the French and secured for English merchants the contract known as the " Assiento, " which gave English subjects the sole right for thirty years of shipping annually forty-eight hundred African slaves to the Spanish colonies in America.^ This slave trade was as lucrative a traffic as the old spice trade, and at this time was some such object of rivalry among the com- mercial states of Europe as that had formerly been.
