En este trabajo abordaremos las negociaciones entre España y Portugal en torno a la Colonia de Sacramento y las consiguientes emigraciones portuguesas que tuvieron lugar hacia allí entre 1715 y 1750, fechas de los tratados de Utrecht y de Madrid. Finalizada la Guerra de Sucesión en España, Portugal recuperó la Nueva Colonia de Sacramento, consiguiendo que dicha colonia fuese reconocida por el rey Felipe V como el punto más meridional del dominio portugués en América, debido también a la presión británica ejercida por el embajador inglés en Utrecht y en Madrid, respectivamente. Con todo, la restitución de la plaza y el territorio de Sacramento en 1716 no significó el final de lo que serían unas dilatadas negociaciones entre las dos coronas ibéricas. Además, ante la necesidad de preservar su soberanía en estas regiones sur-brasileñas, la monarquía portuguesa promovió la ocupación estratégica de estos territorios, utilizando colonos provenientes de sus territorios europeos, en concreto de Trás-os-Montes y de las islas Azores.
ABSTRACT: In this article, we will focus on the diplomatic negotiations between Spain and Portugal regarding the Colony of Sacramento and on the Portuguese migrations that took place from the Treaty of Utrecht (1715) to the Treaty of Madrid (1750). After the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, Portugal regained the New Colony of Sacramento, which was recognized as the most southern point in the Portuguese empire in the Americas. This was also due to the British pressure and the initiative of the English ambassador in Utrecht and in Madrid. However, the returning of the stronghold of Sacramento and its territory in 1716 did not put an end to a long negotiation between the two crowns. Besides, faced with the necessity of preserving its sovereignty in the regions of southern Brazil, the Portuguese monarchy promoted the strategic occupation of those territories by using settlers coming from its European domains, namely from Trás-os-Montes and from the Azores.
