FIRST TREATY OF SAN ILDEFONSO

The 'First Treaty of San Ildefonso' was signed on October 1, 1777 between the Spanish Empire and the Portuguese Empire. The agreement mainly settled territorial disputes in the Río de la Plata region. Based on the terms of the agreement, Spain ceded territories in Brazil to Portugal (i.e. Amazon Basin) in return for maintaining control over the Banda Oriental (i.e. Uruguay). Also, Portugal ceded to Spain the island of Fernando Poo and territories on the African coast between the Niger and Ogoue estuaries. The treaty dismissed the territory of Pombal and reaffirmed the Treaty of Madrid (1750).
