Spain's claims Spain's claims date back nearly 300 years to the papal bull of 1493, which, along with the following Treaty of Tordesillas, defined and defined the zone of Spanish rights exclusively to Portugal. In relation to other states, the agreement was legally ineffective (res inter alios acta). Spain interpreted it in the broadest sense of the word, revealing that it had granted them full sovereignty. Other European powers did not recognize Inter caetera, and even Spain and Portugal adhered to it only when it was useful and convenient. Britain's claims to the region were dated to sir Francis Drake's journey in 1579, as well as the right of pre-opening by Captain James Cook in 1778, although the Spaniards explored and claimed the region in 1774, under Juan Perez, and in 1775, under Bruno de Hecet and Bodege and Kvadra. The disputed sovereignty of the Nootka Sound dispute began in 1789 when Spain sent Jose Martinez to occupy Nootka Sound and establish exclusive Spanish sovereignty. In the summer of 1789, several fur merchant ships, British and American, arrived in Notka. Conflict over sovereignty arose between the captain of the British argonaut James Colnett and Martinez. By the end of the summer, Martinez had arrested Colnett, captured several British ships and arrested their crews. Colnett came to Nootka Sound, intending to build a permanent trading post and a colony on land previously acquired by his business partner John Meares. At the end of the summer, Martinez left Notka and took the captured ships and prisoners to San Blas, New Spain. News of these events provoked a confrontation between Spain and Great Britain, known as the Noutka Crisis, which almost led to war. The Nootka Convention of the 1790s, carried out in part by George Vancouver and his Spanish counterpart Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Kvadra, prevented the dispute from escalating to war. The first Convention was signed on October 28, 1790. and was deliberately vague. His preamble contained a statement, deferring in retrospective discussion of the rights and claims of both parties.... His first article stated that all the buildings and plots of land in Nootka Sound that had been seized by Martinez would be restored in the UK. To do this, Vancouver and Bodega and Kvadra were sent to Nootka Sound in 1792. However, no buildings were seized, and Bodega said that no land was purchased by the British, as the head of the Indigenous peoples of Makinna, as well as the American merchants Robert Gray and Joseph Ingram, who were present in 1789, say. Vancouver did not want to accept Bodega's various counter-proposals, and the whole issue was sent back to the British and Spanish governments.

(December 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this message template) The First Note Convention plays a role in the disputed sovereignty of the Falkland Islands between the United Kingdom and Argentina. Article VI stipulated that neither side would form new institutions on any of the islands adjacent to the eastern and western coasts of South America, which were then occupied by Spain. Both retained the right to land and to build temporary structures on the coasts and islands for fishing purposes. However, there was an additional secret article, which should remain in force until the subjects of any other Power on those shores were established. This secret article had the same power as if it had been included in the convention. The applicability of the Nott Convention to the Falklands Dispute is contentious and complex. The United River Plate did not participate in the convention. Thus, the convention defines it as another power and occupation of the settlement (in Port Louis) by the subjects of any other Power denied by Article VI, and allows the United Kingdom to reassert previous sovereignty and form new settlements. The Second Nootka Convention, known as the Nootka Claims Convention, was signed in February 1793 and awarded compensation to John Meares for the Spanish seizure of his ships in Nootka in 1789. The Third Nootka Convention Of the Third Nootka Convention, also known as the Convention on Mutual Rejection of Nootka, was signed on January 11, 1794. He called for a mutual rejection of Nootka Sound. Britain and Spain were free to use Nootka Sound as a port and build temporary structures, but neither ... must form any permanent institution in this port or claim any right of sovereignty or territorial domination there except And their said Majesties will be help each other to maintain for their subjects free access to the Port of Nootka against any other nation that may try to establish there any sovereignty or domination. Unresolved borders, although the Nootka crisis initially revolved around the question of sovereignty and the northern borders of New Spain, the main issues remained unresolved. Both sides have taken up positions against the border, with Britain wanting to establish it north of San Francisco and Spain in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. After Vancouver rejected the offer of The Bodega strait Juan de Fuca the border issue was again not addressed and instead left unspecified. The third convention addressed the issue of sovereignty only for the port of Notoka Sound itself. The United States maintains that at the time of the first Nota Convention, the United States had no claims in this area. U.S. claims in the region began with Robert Gray's expedition along the Columbia River. They were fortified and expanded by the Lewis and Clark expedition and the creation of Fort Astoria by the Pacific Fur Company. Spain's claims to the Pacific Northwest were acquired by the United States as a result of the signing of the Adams-Ona Treaty in 1819. The United States claimed that it had acquired the right of exclusive sovereignty from Spain. This position led to a dispute with the UK, known as the Border Dispute in Oregon. This dispute was not resolved until the signing of the Treaty of Oregon in 1846, which divided the disputed territory and established what later became the international border between Canada and the United States. Although the Nootka Convention theoretically revealed the Pacific northwest coast from northern California to Alaska to British colonization, the onset of the Napoleonic Wars diverted any effort to do so (as Vancouver recommended at the time) and the proposed colony-settlement in the region had to be abandoned. The Hudson's Bay Company, a remaining British presence in the region, was against settlement and any economic activity other than its own, so that the development of settlements and resources did not occur in any way until Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of 1858, which formalized British claims on the mainland still residual from the Nootka conventions in the colony of British Columbia.

Extracted from the of Their British and Catholic Majesty, wanting to stop, The two Crowns considered that the best way to achieve this beneficial object would be a friendly agreement, which, putting aside all retrospective discussions of the rights and claims of both parties, should regulate their respective positions for the future on a basis that would be in their true interests, as well as the mutual desires with which they were told by Majesty, establishing each other, in all places, in all places, in all places, in all places, in all places, the very best interests.
