The War Of Jenkins’s Ear officially began when a Spanish commander chopped off the ear of the English captain Robert Jenkins and told him to take that to his King . The war broke out in 1739 between the Spanish and English and was confined to the Caribbean and Georgia . This escalated into the King George’s War when the French joined the side of Spain . In the course of the war, English Colonial forces captured the French stronghold of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island , Nova Scotia , but this gain was returned to France under the Treaty Of Aix-la-Chapelle . King George's War did nothing to stop the dispute between England and France. Austria shifted its allegiance from England to France, as England became allied with Prussia and the conflict continued. This would lead to the Seven Years' War in Europe (the French And Indian War in North America), the fourth of the French and Indian Wars. SEE ALSO
