For six months a year, Pheasant Island is French.
For the other six, it is Spanish.
Prior to the war and the signing of the treaty, Pheasant Islands status was undefined.
As a result, many important historical events took place on the island.

Today, Pheasant Island is off-limit to visitors, although one can get pretty close to the island.
