	By the 1500s the Kingdom of Spain was formed. It held the key island of Cuba, which housed the largest city and port on the [[Caribbean]]: [[Havana]]. Havana was a popular spot to lay anchor for [[Piracy\|pirates]] such as [[Edward Kenway]] and was the heart of Spanish trade in the Caribbean.		By the 1500s, the Kingdom of Spain was formed.

	In 1707 [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] of the [[West Indies Rite of the Templar Order\|Caribbean Templars]], became governor of Cuba.

	During this period, the Caribbean saw a huge wave of piracy which led to the period being labelled as the "[[Golden Age of Piracy]]". Piracy had a sizable impact on the Spanish economy as a result of pirate attacks on profitable [[sugar plantations]] such as [[Wellington]].

	Along with the Golden Age of Piracy, Spain faced all-out war with the [[British Empire\|British]]. This was due to the disputed Spanish throne which was to pass into [[France\|French]] hands, to the dismay of the rest of Europe.		The colonies in Asia were not without problems either, as in 1719 a violent riot broke out in [[Manila]], resulting in the death of {{Wiki\|Governor-General of the Philippines\|Governor-General}} {{Wiki\|Fernando Manuel de Bustillo Bustamante y Rueda}}. The Spanish later deemed this incident an elaborate conspiracy masterminded by the [[Dutch East India Company]].<ref name="ACFT" />
