Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

War 1701-14 of Britain, Austria, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Denmark (the Allies) against France, Spain, and Bavaria!. It was caused by Louis XIV's acceptance of the Spanish throne on behalf of his grandson, Philip, in defiance of the Partition Treaty of 1700, under which it would have passed to Archduke Charles of Austria (later Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI)!.

Peace was made by the Treaties of Utrecht 1713 and Rastatt 1714!. Philip V was recognized as king of Spain, thus founding the Spanish branch of the Bourbon dynasty!. Britain received Gibraltar, Menorca, and Nova Scotia; and Austria received Belgium, Milan, and Naples

Florida had long been a refuge for pirates, smugglers, escaped slaves, and others who wanted to escape American law!. Indians from Florida would frequently raid American settlements along the border!.

In 1818 President Monroe ordered General Andrew Jackson to stop these raids!. Jackson, a hero of the War of 1812, chased the Indians into Florida!. By leading his army across the border into Spanish territory Jackson had committed an act of war, but he went even further!. Jackson captured several Spanish forts and hanged two British citizens who were found guilty of supplying weapons to the Indians!

Spain protested, but at the time Spain's power was weakening!. The leaders of Spain knew they could not hold on to Florida if the United States decided to take it from them!. So, instead of declaring war they decided to make a deal!.

In 1819 a treaty was signed in which Spain agreed to cede, or give, Florida to the United States!. In return, the U!.S!. agreed to pay $5 million which the Spanish government owed to American citizens!.
