The Sulphur Crisis of 1840 (also known as the Sulphur War of 1840 or Anglo-Neapolitan Sulphur Crisis) was a conflict between the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the United Kingdom. In the 19th century, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies maintained a large sulphur mining industry and was responsible for most of the world's production. In industrialising, British demand for sulphur increased considerably. The nation had a very favourable treaty with the Two Sicilies, negotiated in 1816. The Sulphur Crisis of 1840 occurred when King Ferdinand II gave a monopoly of the sulphur industry to a French firm. The British argued it violated the 1816 trade agreement. A peaceful solution was eventually negotiated by France.

  • La question des soufres est une crise politique entre l'Empire britannique et le royaume des Deux-Siciles qui a lieu entre 1838 et 1840 et qui touche principalement la ville de Naples, alors capitale des Deux-Siciles, lors d'un embargo anglais. L'enjeu est le monopole sur l'extraction du soufre en Sicile, qui représente alors près de 80 % de la production mondiale. (fr)
