OTD in 1786 #AlexanderDalrymple publishes “A Serious Admonition” listing good commercial & political grounds for not colonizing Australia, EXCEPT in one situation: If France tries to take it “then it may become our interest to interfere, by way of competition”. #DecisionDay1786

OTD in 1786, #LordSydney, head of the #HomeOffice (which ran the #BotanyBay campaign), applied formally and urgently to the #Treasury for money, and then to the #Admiralty for ships. The initial departure date was October, but problems constantly pushed this back #DecisionDay1786

OTD in 1786, #WilliamPitt’s 30-hour cabinet meeting ended at the #Cockpit, #Whitehall on Saturday morning. Immediately, a dispatch rider was sent to #WindsorCastle to inform #GeorgeIII about the #BotanyBay decision. Soon he would reign over a new #Pacific empire. #DecisionDay1786

OTD in 1786, #WilliamPitt is labouring to finalize the crucial #AngloFrenchCommercialTreaty. The last thing he needs is an imperial escapade that will upset the French and derail the negotiations. If #Whitehall pulls such a stunt, it will have to be camouflaged. #DecisionDay1786

OTD in 1786 at #10DowningStreet, #WilliamPitt is focussed on negotiations for the #AngloFrenchCommercialTreaty. After the disastrous American War, his strategy for Britain’s economic recovery is to replace centuries of ruinous war with mutually advantageous trade #DecisionDay1786
