Memorials Contest British War Aid Under Treaty Limits
Sir Joseph Yoke, ambassador for Great Britain, claims promised aid under alliance treaties. The States of Friesland concur that aid is limited to Europe by the 1678 treaty and ratified by the 1717 article. They consider the American-origin war and its spread to Europe outside the treaty scope, and thus refuse to grant the requested succours.
