]]> In 1728, a group of merchants from San Sebastian founded the Royal Guipuzcoa Company of Caracas with the aim of providing the province with a privileged commercial circuit. Thanks to a royal concession, the Company had a monopoly on the cocoa trade, suppressing piracy and smuggling in that part of the Caribbean. This foundation broke the monopoly of cities such as Seville and Cadiz, although competition, falling prices and Venezuelan opposition led to the search for commercial alternatives for a company that was suffering the consequences. Finally, in 1778, the Compañía Guipuzcoana de Caracas merged with that of the Philippines.

]]> Castile and Portugal engaged in long territorial disputes during the Modern Age over the control and administration of overseas territories. This confrontation came to an end in 1494 with the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas, which established an imaginary dividing line 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands between the overseas dominions of each.
