BRITAIN HISTORY
KING GEORGE I 1720 SOUTH SEAS STOCK SCANDAL
After the War of Spanish Succession, the UK signed the Treaty of Utrecht 1713 with
Spain, ostensibly allowing it to trade in the seas near South America. In fact, barely any
trade took place as Spain renounced the Treaty, however this was concealed on the UK
stock market. A speculative bubble saw the share price reach over in August
1720, but then crash in September. A Parliamentary inquiry revealed fraud among
members of the government, including the Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer John
Aislabie, who was sent to prison.
