In 1774 the Portuguese reconquered the Rio Grande de Sao Pedro, which had been in Spanish hands since 1762, triggering a response from the Spanish who organized a major military offensive. Under the command of D. Pedro de Cevallos, appointed Viceroy of the River Plate, a Spanish fleet seized the island of Santa Catarina and the Colonia del Sacramento in 1777. The change of government in Portugal, with the death of King José I led to an agreement with Spain that resulted in a peace treaty that halted the Spanish offensive and resulted in the return of the island of Santa Catarina to the Portuguese, but the Colony of Sacramento was definitely ceded to the court of Madrid.
