ARTICLES RELATED TO Charles III of Spain | | | |  Charles III of Spain: Encyclopedia II - Charles III of Spain - King of SpainOn August 10, 1759, his half-brother Ferdinand VI died and Charles succeeded him as King. On October 6, 1759 he abdicated the throne of the Two Sicilies in favor of his third son, Ferdinand.
As king of Spain, his foreign policy was disastrous. His strong family feeling and his detestation of England, which was unchecked after the death of his wife, Maria Amalia of Saxony, led him into the Family Compact with France.

| | | | Charles III of Spain: Encyclopedia - Anton Raphael Mengs Anton Raphael Mengs (March 12, 1728 - June 29, 1779) was a German painter.
Mengs was born in 1728 at Usti (Aussig) in Bohemia, but his father, Ismael Mengs, a Danish painter, established himself finally at Dresden, whence in 1741 he took his son to Rome. The appointment of Mengs in 1749 as first painter to Frederick Augustus, elector of Saxony did not prevent his spending much time in Rome, where he had married Margarita Quazzi who had sat for him as a model in 1748, and abjured the Protestant faith, and where he became in 1754 ...

| | | | Charles III of Spain: Encyclopedia II - Enlightenment Spain - The Pyrenees are no more 1700-1715 The last years of the rule of the deformed, mentally retarded, and childless Charles II, were dominated by the politics of who would succeed the unfortunate monarch, the last Spanish king of the Habsburg dynasty. Economic troubles, the decay of the Spanish bureaucracy, a series of defeats in wars against France, and the erosion of imperial institutions in the seventeenth century had left Charles the king of a declining empire, and his physical and mental weakness provided him with little ability to reverse the course of his country. Even so, ...

History of California - Russian exploration.
In the early 1800s, fur trappers of the Russian Empire, which had already claimed Alaska, briefly explored the coast and set up trading posts as far south as Fort Ross in modern-day Sonoma County. They hunted for sea otter pelts as far south as the Channel Islands (across from modern Santa Barbara).

History of Alaska - Alaska Territory.
By the turn of the 20th century, commercial fishing was gaining a foothold in the Aleutian Islands. Packing houses salted cod and herring, and salmon canneries were opened.

The earliest und ...
