Jenkins's Ear, War of
War in 1739 between Britain and Spain, arising from Britain's illicit trade in Spanish America; it merged into the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–48). The name derives from the claim of Robert Jenkins, a merchant captain, that his ear had been cut off by Spanish coastguards near Jamaica. The incident was seized on by opponents of Robert Walpole who wanted to embarrass his government's antiwar policy and force war with Spain.
