Aftermath

José Solano y Bote was later recognized by King Carlos III for his efforts in coming to aid Gálvez with the title Marquez de Socorro

That line in the Aftermath section should be changed to "... with the title Marquess of Socorro (Marquess of Aid)" to clarify both the Noble title and the meaning of it.

The proper Spanish for marquis is marqués (incidentally, there's a Marqués de Socorro and a Marqués del Real Socorro, different titles). Admiral Solano was from Extremadura. His heir, the painter and Basque Nationalist politician Carlos Solano Adán de Yarza (1888-1949) so far as I know rennounced to the title, or at least he never used it. Incidentally, the Basque agrarian trade unionist Paul Nicholson Solano is admiral Solano's heir. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.85.148.202 (talk) 11:36, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Waldeck not a belligerent

Waldeck supplied mercenary soldiers to Britain. Waldeck was not a belligerent and should not be listed as such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.152.206 (talk) 09:55, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anglo-Spanish War?

The Anglo-Spanish War disambig page has Spain's Florida activities during the American Revolutionary War, including the Siege of Pensacola, listed among the "Other wars that pitted England against Spain, though not commonly known as 'Anglo-Spanish' wars" and there is no Anglo-Spanish War article that covers the 1781 time period. For those reasons, I am removing mention of the Anglo-Spanish War from the opening of this article (despite it clearly being a military action between Britain and Spain).
