Claim: In the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, Britain ceded the Bay Islands to Honduras, and ceded suzerainty over the Mosquito Coast to Nicaragua, which was not at all in accord with the American contentions.
Evidence: (Britain ceded the Bay Islands to Honduras in 1860 and ceded suzerainty over the Mosquito Coast to Nicaragua the same year, although they would continue to maintain a presence there until 1895). In 1859–1860, via British treaties with Central American states, the Bay Islands and Mosquito questions were settled nearly in accord with the American contentions.
