| Summary: | Commonly referred to as the Treaty of Utrecht, this document lays out the agreements concluding the War of the Spanish Succession, 1701-1713. Each section is presented in parallel text with English. As regards Newfoundland (p. 73-4), it was decided that the island would be a British possession, with the French abandoning all claims and their capital city of Placentia. The French were, however, permitted to fish on the island's northern and western edges, in return for concessions in North America. This region would become known as the French Shore, a source of conflict until the 20th Century. (Allison C. Bates, "Treaty of Utrecht," Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador, vol. 5, 413.) No covers. Parallel text in several languages: Latin and English; French, Latin and English; Spanish, Latin and English; French, Latin and English; Latin and English; and French and English. |
