Question

In what year did the English send Naval forces to suppress buccaneering? *

Answer 1

The English sent naval forces to suppress buccaneering in 1713. The war of Spanish Succession had ended in 1713 and British merchants wanted to expand their trading relations throughout the world, which piracy prohibited by suppressing maritime commerce. Britain thus began naval operations in 1713 to end buccaneering in the West Indies.
