The Last Spanish Armada

Discover the untold story of the final Spanish Armada in The Last Spanish Armada by Jonathan Oates. Published in 2019, this compelling book spans 184 pages and delves into an often-overlooked chapter of history. Unlike the famous Spanish Armada of 1588, this lesser-known invasion set sail against England and Scotland during the Anglo-Spanish War (1718-1720). Oates expertly uncovers how this invasion was intricately linked to the Jacobite campaign of 1719 and the virtually unknown War of the Quadruple Alliance. This insightful study of war and diplomacy provides readers with a fresh perspective on a significant yet neglected conflict. Perfect for history enthusiasts and scholars alike, The Last Spanish Armada is a must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of early 18th-century warfare and international relations.
