Spain was trying to still claim ownership of all the sunken treasure people are recovering. Peru was trying to claim ownership as well because it was mined from what became Peru by Peruvians enslaved by the Spanish. 
 

Spain successfully defended themselves against Peru’s claims in international maritime court basically saying “we stole it fair and square”. 
 

Teaching crap like this got me in trouble with the school administration but it was so fun.
