  • La Toma de La Habana por los ingleses tuvo lugar durante la Guerra de los Siete Años en agosto de 1762. Este hecho dejó al descubierto las debilidades de las defensas españolas en el Caribe. El mismo se produjo al entrar los ingleses en conflicto con la corona española, puesto que esta última se había aliado con Francia, otro tradicional enemigo de Inglaterra. En un principio los ingleses intentaron establecer una especie de colonia llamada «Cumberland» que sirviera de punto de apoyo a una invasión en la isla, por el Sur, en lo que hoy es la provincia de Guantánamo, pero las condiciones fueron muy hostiles tanto por el terreno, así como el constante hostigamiento de los villareños, por lo que desistieron.
  • La Bataille de La Havane est une bataille qui se déroula de mars à août 1762 dans le cadre de Guerre de Sept Ans. Les forces britanniques ont assiégé et pris la ville de La Havane, portant un sérieux coup à la marine espagnole. La ville sera finalement rendue aux espagnoles après le Traité de Paris (1763).
