Spain continued to stand on the treaty of 1670. Indeed, she appealed to France to make it good. France responded. By the treaty of Fontainebleau (1743) she pledged herself to “oblige the English to destroy the new colony of Georgia and all forts built on Spanish soil."1 [Note 1 For the treaty of Fontainebleau, see Cantillo, Traiados, Convenios, y Declaraciones de Paz y de Comercio (Madrid, 1843), 370; Lucien Schone, La Politique Coloniale Sous Louis XV et Louis XVI (Paris, 1907), 119-121; Forbonnais, Histoire et Commerce des Colonies Anglaises, p. 327 (London, 1755), cited by Schone.] France entered the colonial war, but she failed to keep her promise regarding Georgia. Attention in the struggle was now turned to the north. The St. Lawrence supplanted the Caribbean; Cape Breton overshadowed Havana and San Agustin.
