Download or read book War and Independence In Spanish America written by Anthony McFarlane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the period from 1808 to 1826, the Spanish empire was convulsed by wars throughout its dominions in Iberia and the Americas. The conflicts began in Spain, where Napoleon’s invasion triggered a war of national resistance. The collapse of the Spanish monarchy provoked challenges to the colonial regime in virtually all of Spain's American provinces, and colonial demands for autonomy and independence led to political turbulence and violent confrontation on a transcontinental scale. During the two decades after 1808, Spanish America witnessed warfare on a scale not seen since the conquests three centuries earlier. War and Independence in Spanish America provides a unified account of war in Spanish America during the period after the collapse of the Spanish government in 1808. McFarlane traces the courses and consequences of war, combining a broad narrative of the development and distribution of armed conflict with analysis of its characteristics and patterns. He maps the main arenas of war, traces the major campaigns by and crucial battles between rebels and royalists, and places the military conflicts in the context of international political change. Readers will come away with a fully realized understanding of how war and military mobilization affected Spanish American societies and shaped the emerging independent states.
Download or read book Mosquito Empires written by J. R. McNeill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-11 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the links among ecology, disease, and international politics in the context of the Greater Caribbean - the landscapes lying between Surinam and the Chesapeake - in the seventeenth through early twentieth centuries. Ecological changes made these landscapes especially suitable for the vector mosquitoes of yellow fever and malaria, and these diseases wrought systematic havoc among armies and would-be settlers. Because yellow fever confers immunity on survivors of the disease, and because malaria confers resistance, these diseases played partisan roles in the struggles for empire and revolution, attacking some populations more severely than others. In particular, yellow fever and malaria attacked newcomers to the region, which helped keep the Spanish Empire Spanish in the face of predatory rivals in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In the late eighteenth and through the nineteenth century, these diseases helped revolutions to succeed by decimating forces sent out from Europe to prevent them.

Download or read book A Buccaneer s Atlas written by Basil Ringrose and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 29, 1681, a band of English buccaneers that had been terrorizing Spanish possessions on the west coast of the Americas captured a Spanish ship, from which they obtained a derrotero, or book of charts and sailing directions. When they arrived back in England, the Spanish ambassador demanded that the buccaneers be brought to trial. The derrotero was ordered to be brought to King Charles II, who apparently appreciated its great intelligence value. The buccaneers were acquitted, to the chagrin of the king of Spain, who had the English ambassador expelled from the court at Madrid on a seemingly trumped-up charge. The derrotero was subsequently translated, and one of the buccaneers, Basil Ringrose, added a text to the compilation and information to the Spanish charts. The resulting atlas, consisting of 106 pages of charts and 106 pages of text, is published in full for the first time in this volume. Covering the coast from California to Tierra del Fuego, the Galapagos, and Juan Fernandes, Basil Ringrose's south sea waggoner is a rich source of geographical information, with observations on navigational, physical, biological, and cultural features as well as on ethnography, customs, and folklore. After almost exactly three hundred years, this secret atlas is now made available to libraries and individuals. The editors have provided an extensive introduction on historical, geographical, and navigational aspects of the atlas, as well as annotations to the charts and text, and they have plotted the coverage of the charts on modern map bases.

Download or read book Campa a de Invasi n del Teniente General don Pablo Morillo 1815 1816 written by Mayor Jorge Mercado and published by Ediciones LAVP. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La reconquista española de la Capitanía General de Venezuela y el virreinato de la Nueva Granada, comandada por el general español Pablo Morillo, fue uno de los más sangrientos episodios de la guerra de la independencia de Latinoamérica, pues hizo parte del llamado régimen del terror de la corona española sobre sus antiguas colonias en ultramar. Pablo Morillo era un brillante y experimentado general que combatió contra Napoleón Bonaparte en las guerras europeas. Morillo llegó a Venezuela, para iniciar la recuperación de los tambaleantes dominios españoles en el Nuevo Mundo, con la orden específica del rey Fernando VII de actuar con diplomacia y sentido humanitario, pero una sangrienta maniobra de engaño realizada por rebeldes tropas venezolanas comandadas por Juan Bautista Arismendi en Isla Margarita, desató la ira y la venganza de Pablo Morillo, quien arrasó literalmente la resistencia venezolana y se dirigió hacia la Nueva Granada a continuar la barbarie que caracterizó la breve reconquista de los territorios que desde 1810, se habían independizado del dominio de la Corona. El dantesco sitio a la ciudad amurallada de Cartagena en la Nueva Granada, dirigido por los españoles Pablo Morillo y Pascual Enrile es un episodio de la historia colombiana y universal que aún no ha sido tratado en su verdadera dimensión. Leer esta obra es hacer un recorrido por la historia de Colombia y en general de Latinoamerica, reconocer los valores etnográficos y el valor de una raza indómita que no se doblegó frente al drama de la violencia y la supresión de alimentos, impuesta por los sitiadores. Campaña de Invasión del Teniente General don Pablo Morillo (1815-1816) publicado en 1919 por el mayor Jorge Mercado del Ejército colombiano y reimpreso en 1963 por las Fuerzas Militares de Colombia, es un documento de alto valor histórico, referente para lectores del público en general, y un importante referente bibliográfico para los historiadores del futuro. Es una verdadera joya de la literatura histórica colombiana, que le editor recomienda a ojo cerrado a los lectores. Debido a la escasa literatura seria, documentada, investigativa y soportada, referente a esta dramática etapa de la historia de Colombia y Venezuela, hemos decidido reimprimir esta obra, que con absoluta certeza será de gran valor cultural, informativo y académico para quien desee conocer mas acerca de la formación política, social, económica y militar de Latinoamérica.
