uyhoidsjksfjgohhdflkjlhdftgopåghkjdnztfpoklhjdfxtrh The British occupation of Manila was an episode in colonial history of the Philippines when the Kingdom of Great Britain occupied the Spanish colonial capital of Manila and the nearby port of Cavite for twenty months from 1762 to 1764. The occupation was an extension of the larger Seven Years' War between Britain and France, which Spain had recently entered on the side of the French. The British wanted to use Manila as an entrepôt for trade in the region, particularly with China.[1] In addition, the Spanish agreed to deliver a ransom to the British in exchange for the city being spared from any further sacking.[2] The resistance from the provisional Spanish colonial government established by members of the Royal Audience of Manila led by Lieutenant Governor Simón de Anda y Salazar and their Filipino troops prevented British forces from expanding their control of the territory beyond the neighbouring towns of Manila and Cavite.
