Madrid Protocol of 1885

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Madrid Protocol of 1885 is an agreement between Great Britain, Germany and Spain to recognize the sovereignty of Spain over the Sulu Archipelago as well as the limit of Spanish influence in the region. Under the agreement, Spain relinquishes all claim to Borneo.

Another important point regarding the agreement relates to the guarantee of no restriction on trade to the parties of the protocol within the Archipelago and North Borneo.
