[edit] Pacifico as Portugese

How was he Portugese, if he was born in GIbraltar, and able to claim Britsh citizenship? Without explanation of it that word should perhaps be lost from teh first sentence? Midgley 22:21, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

He had been (according to Palmerston's speech) Portugese consul in a couple of places, presumably he was born there. Stroika 06:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] three powers

The other one was Britain? Perahps the text should read "the other two powers..."

[edit] Rename this page!

This 'incident' is not and has never been known as the 'Pacifico incident'. It was and is known as the Don Pacifico Affair. See, for example, David Hannell's article in European History Quarterly, 1989. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.111.14.198 (talk) 18:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
