History's Greatest Battles

The Siege of St. Augustine, FL. 1702. Spanish Fort Unconquered. Delays British American Dominance.


Listen Later

Spain’s victory did more than just hold the line, it secured Florida as a critical bastion, shielding its Atlantic trade routes and standing as a barrier against the rising power of the American colonies. For decades to come, it would remain a Spanish stronghold, a thorn in the ambitions of an expanding America, a reminder that the old empire was not yet finished.

St. Augustine, FL. November 10 - December 29, 1702.
Spanish Forces: 230 Soldiers, 180 Indians and Freed African Slaves.
English Forces: 500 Soldiers, 300 Indians.
