Spain’s victory did more than just hold the line, it secured Florida as a critical bastion, shielding its Atlantic trade routes and standing as a barrier against the rising power of the American colonies. For decades to come, it would remain a Spanish stronghold, a thorn in the ambitions of an expanding America, a reminder that the old empire was not yet finished.

St. Augustine, FL. November 10 - December 29, 1702.
Spanish Forces: 230 Soldiers, 180 Indians and Freed African Slaves.
English Forces: 500 Soldiers, 300 Indians.
