Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Guerra de la Independencia marcó un hito decisivo en la historia de España, no sólo por sus estragos, sino porque significó el inicio de una larga etapa de pugnas civiles. Su importancia explica la gran cantidad de estudios parciales que se le han dedicado y hace tanto más incomprensible que careciésemos de una visión de conjunto actual. SE necesitaba una “nueva historia” que incorporase las investigaciones de las últimas décadas y esto es lo que nos ofrece Charles Esdaile en este libro, que no es una mera síntesis, puesto que integra nuevas aportaciones de los archivos españoles y británicso, yq ue va a convertirse en una obra de referencia fundamental. La Guerra de la Independencia produjo más de un millón de muertos, pueblos en ruinas y campos saqueados, además puso los fundamentos de una larga etapa de guerras civiles que iban a acabar con la vieja sociedad del absolutismo. La importancia del período explica la gran cantidad de estudios parciales que se han dedicado a sus aspectos militares o políticos, o a sus repercusiones en lugares determinados, y hace que resulte tanto más incomprensible el hecho de que careciésemos hasta ahora de una síntesis satisfactoria. Las grandes visiones españolas de conjunto siguen siendo la del conde de Toreno, publicada en 1835-1837, y la estrictamente militar de Gómez de Arteche, que apareció entre 1868 y 1903. La última síntesis de una cierta entidad, la de Lovett, tiene ya cerca de cuarenta años. Resultaba evidente que se necesitaba una “nueva historia” de la guerra que no fuese tan sólo un relato de batallas, sino que tomase en cuenta sus dimensiones política y social, y que incorporase los resultados de las investigaciones de las últimas décadas. Esto es lo que nos ofrece Charles Esdaile –conocido por sus estudios anteriores sobre historia militar y por La quiebra del liberalismo, 1808-1839 (Crítica, 2001)- en este libro que no es una mera síntesis, puesto que utiliza ampliamente los testimonios coetáneos e incorpora nuevas aportaciones de los archivos españoles y británicos, y que va a convertirse, sin duda, en la obra de referencia esencial sobre la Guerra de la Independencia.

Download or read book Spain and the American Revolution written by Gabriel Paquette and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the participation of France in the American Revolution is well established in the historiography, the role of Spain, France’s ally, is relatively understudied and underappreciated. Spain's involvement in the conflict formed part of a global struggle between empires and directly influenced the outcome of the clash between Britain and its North American colonists. Following the establishment of American independence, the Spanish empire became one of the nascent republic's most significant neighbors and, often illicitly, trading partners. Bringing together essays from a range of well-regarded historians, this volume contributes significantly to the international history of the Age of Atlantic Revolutions.
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 A Turbulent Time written by David Barry Gaspar and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To help understand the cultural history (and implicitly, the context of current events) of the former European colonial Caribbean nations such as Cuba and Haiti (nee the French colony of Saint Domingue), and that of the "Plantation America" Caribbean-oriented states of Louisiana and Florida, Gaspar (Duke U.), Geggus (U. of Florida), and six other contributors analyze the institution of slavery in this tropical zone and its late 18th-early 19th century vanquishing. Indigenous military and legislative self-liberation and striving toward racial equality, fomented by the liberating attitudes of the French Revolution, in turn, further impacted regional integration.

Download or read book Bernardo de G lvez written by Gonzalo M. Quintero Saravia and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Spain was never a formal ally of the United States during the American Revolution, its entry into the war definitively tipped the balance against Britain. Led by Bernardo de Galvez, supreme commander of the Spanish forces in North America, their military campaigns against British settlements on the Mississippi River—and later against Mobile and Pensacola—were crucial in preventing Britain from concentrating all its North American military and naval forces on the fight against George Washington's Continental army. In this first comprehensive biography of Galvez (1746@–86), Gonzalo M. Quintero Saravia assesses the commander's considerable historical impact and expands our understanding of Spain's contribution to the war. A man of both empire and the Enlightenment, as viceroy of New Spain (1785@–86), Galvez was also pivotal in the design and implementation of Spanish colonial reforms, which included the reorganization of Spain's Northern Frontier that brought peace to the region for the duration of the Spanish presence in North America. Extensively researched through Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. archives, Quintero Saravia's portrait of Galvez reveals him as central to the histories of the Revolution and late eighteenth-century America and offers a reinterpretation of the international factors involved in the American War for Independence.

French and English abstracts summarize the content of each article.
Download or read book The House of Rothschild in Spain 1812 1941 written by Miguel A. Lopez-Morell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amongst the serried ranks of capitalists who drove European industrialisation in the nineteenth century, the Rothschilds were amongst the most dynamic and the most successful. Establishing businesses in Germany, Britain, France, Austria, and Italy the family soon became leading financiers, bankrolling a host of private and government businesses ventures. In so doing they played a major role in fuelling economic and industrial development across Europe, providing capital for major projects, particularly in the mining and railway sectors. Nowhere was this more apparent than in Spain, where for more than a century the House of Rothschild was one of the primary motors of Spanish economic development. Yet, despite the undoubted importance of the Rothschild's role, questions still remain regarding the actual impact of these financial activities and the effect they had on financial sectors, companies and Spanish markets. It is to such questions that this book turns its attention, utilising a host of archive sources in Britain, France and Spain to fully analyse the investments and financial activities carried out by the Rothschild House in Spain during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In so doing the book tackles a variety of interrelated issues: Firstly, fixing the period when the main capital entries sprung from the initiatives taken by the Rothschild family, how consequential they really were, and the sectors they affected. Secondly, quantifying the importance of these investments and financial activities and the weight they had on financial sectors, companies and Spanish markets, as well as in foreign investment in each period. Thirdly, outlining the steps followed and means used by the Rothschild House in order to achieve the success in each of their businesses. Finally, analysing the consequences of this phenomenon in the actual growth of Spanish contemporary economy, both in a general and in a partial scale. By exploring these crucial questions, not only do we learn much more about the working of one of the leading financial institutions and the development of the Spanish economy, but a greater understanding of the broader impact of international finance and the flow of capital in the nineteenth century is achieved.

A group of distinguished scholars examine these identities through a variety of sources ranging from mission records and mitochondrial DNA to the historical memory of California's early history."—Andrés Reséndez, author of Changing National Identities at the Frontier: Texas and New Mexico, 1800-1850
