The British burning Alocen
Alocen was a colony of Spain located in the Caribbean. Alocen was settled in 1654, and it was named for a town near the Spanish city of Madrid; it would be burned to the ground during the Anglo-Spanish War of 1654-1660.
History[]
Alocen was named for a town in Spain located near Madrid in La Mancha, and Pedro de Inciso created a settlement consisting of a town center, some houses, and a barracks. The settlement also had a dockyard, allowing for the Spanish Navy to be based out of the town. During the Anglo-Spanish War of 1654-1660, England sent a fleet carrying English Army troops and pirates to attack the colony, with the ships destroying the docks and the ground forces massacring the civilians and burning down several buildings. De Inciso was killed, and the Spanish surrendered before their town center could be burnt as well.
