Spain wanted to retrieve the islands of Menorca and Gibraltar from the British as it had been a long term goal of theirs even after their ruler died.
This ended with a British lost.

One of the main things that the United States <span>learned during the space race was that Russia was a very formidable opponent, and that it was extremely expensive and time-consuming to send things into space--especially humans. </span>
