The Battle of St. George's Caye took place from September 3 to September 10, 1798, near the coast of Belize. It was a significant naval engagement between British settlers and Spanish forces attempting to reclaim the territory. The British, aided by local loggers and their knowledge of the waters, successfully defended their settlement, leading to the consolidation of British control over Belize. This battle is celebrated annually in Belize as a national holiday, marking the country's struggle for sovereignty.
