In 1792 Manuel Godoy became the first Secretary of the Office, replacing the Count of Aranda, Pedro Pablo Abarca de Bolea y Ximenez de Urrea. Linked to Enlightenment despotism, he was associated with educational and political reformism. During his career, he played a leading role in the struggle against France in the Convention War, with England as an ally, which ended with the Peace of Basel (1795) in which Spain made concessions to France in order to obtain its return.
