3505historical_info = flavor_eng.31.historical_info The War of Jenkins' Ear, which later merged into the War of the Austrian Succession, stemmed from a minor but controversial incident in 1731 between Spanish Guardacostas and the crew of the Glasgow brig Rebecca. Captain Jenkins claimed that while sailing in the Caribbean, his ship was boarded, his crew mistreated, and his ear cut off by the Spaniards. He also alleged torture and death threats. Though the war saw no major battles, it led to the dispatch of Anson's squadron, which eventually circumnavigated the globe, and Admiral Edward Vernon's fleet launched attacks on Spanish territories in the Caribbean.
