dbo:abstract
  • La Expedición de Charles Town (septiembre de 1706) fue un intento por parte de fuerzas francesas y españolas, lideradas por el capitán Jacques Lefebvre, de capturar la capital de la provincia inglesa de Carolina, Charles Town, durante la Guerra de la Reina Ana (como se le conoce al teatro norteamericano de la Guerra de Sucesión Española). Organizada y financiada principalmente por los franceses y lanzada desde La Habana, la expedición llegó a Charles Town a principios de septiembre de 1706 luego de detenerse en San Agustín para recoger refuerzos. Luego de un corto encuentro con un corsario el buque francés Brillante, uno de los seis barcos de la expedición, se separó del resto de la flota. Las tropas que desembarcaron cerca de Charles Town fueron repelidas rápidamente por una milicia formada por el gobernador Nathaniel Johnson cuando las noticias de la expedición llegaron a la región, y una flotilla improvisada comandada por el coronel William Rhett capturó al Brillante, el cual llegó después de que los otros cinco barcos habían emprendido el regreso derrotados.

  • Lefebvre's Charles Town expedition (September 1706) was a combined French and Spanish attempt under Captain Jacques Lefebvre to capture the capital of the English Province of Carolina, Charles Town, during Queen Anne's War (as the North American theater of the War of the Spanish Succession is sometimes known). Organized and funded primarily by the French and launched from Havana, Cuba, the expedition reached Charles Town in early September 1706 after stopping at St. Augustine to pick up reinforcements. After a brief encounter with a privateer the Brillant, one of the expedition's six ships, became separated from the rest of the fleet. Troops landed near Charles Town were quickly driven off by militia called out by Governor Nathaniel Johnson when word of the fleet's approach reached the area, and an improvised flotilla commanded by Colonel William Rhett successfully captured the Brillant, which arrived after the other five ships had already sailed away in defeat.

  • La spedizione di Charles Town fu un tentativo franco-spagnolo al comando del capitano Jacques Lefebvre di catturare la capitale della provincia inglese della Carolina, Charles Town, nel corso della guerra della regina Anna (nome col quale è talvolta nota in Nord America la guerra di successione spagnola). Organizzato e supportato finanziariamente dai francesi e lanciato da L'Avana, Cuba, la spedizione raggiunse Charles Town all'inizio di settembre del 1706 dopo essersi fermata a St. Augustine per raccogliere rinforzi. Dopo un breve scontro con un pirata la Brillant, una delle sei navi della spedizione, si separò dal resto della flotta. Le truppe sbarcarono presso Charles Town ma vennero respinte velocemente dalla milizia reclutata dal governatore Nathaniel Johnson non appena seppe dell'arrivo della flotta nell'area, ed una flottiglia improvvisata e comandata dal colonnello riuscì a catturare la Brillant, che era giunta dopo che le altre cinque navi erano già salpate dopo la sconfitta.
