Documentación inédita sobre el papel de España en la Guerra de la Independencia de Estados Unidos. La contribución de España al nacimiento de Estados Unidos es un aspecto poco conocido y poco entendido. La guerra que dio lugar a la independencia de Estados Unidos no se desarrolló exclusivamente en las trece colonias. A pesar del efecto negativo que el ejemplo norteamericano podía ejercer sobre las posesiones españolas en América, las jóvenes colonias británicas recibieron una importante ayuda de España a través de provisiones, dinero e incluso apoyo directo en la guerra, pues en todo el imperio español se reclutaron soldados que lucharon por la independencia de las colonias. Basado principalmente en minuciosas investigaciones realizadas en archivos españoles y americanos, este libro recoge importante documentación inédita sobre la implicación de España en la historia de Estados Unidos, a la vez que sitúa la guerra en su contexto internacional. Intentando establecer una conexión entre el pasado y el presente sin alterar la relación histórica de los hechos, este libro revela con claridad las claves de la participación española en la independencia de Estados Unidos, corrige una importante omisión histórica e ilumina un área prácticamente desconocida de la historiografía española.

Work Description
The role of Spain in the birth of the United States is a little known and little understood aspect of U.S. independence. Through actual fighting, provision of supplies, and money, Spain helped the young British colonies succeed in becoming an independent nation. Soldiers were recruited from all over the Spanish empire, from Spain itself and from throughout Spanish America. Many died fighting British soldiers and their allies in Central America, the Caribbean, along the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Louis and as far north as Michigan, along the Gulf Coast to Mobile and Pensacola, as well as in Europe.
Based on primary research in the archives of Spain, this book is about United States history at its very inception, placing the war in its broadest international context. In short, the information in this book should provide a clearer understanding of the independence of the United States, correct a longstanding omission in its history, and enrich its patrimony. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the Revolutionary War and in Spain's role in the development of the Americas.
