Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical narrative of the 1806 British invasions of the Rio de la Plata and the spirited defense mounted by the people of Buenos Aires against overwhelming odds. The author provides historical context for the power struggle between England and Spain over their American colonies, exacerbated by figures like Napoleon Bonaparte and the charismatic Miranda. The book details several case studies of British aggression in the Americas, including the sacking of Buenos Aires in 1806 and the failed invasion of 1807. It also explores the role of local figures like Liniers and the part played by the militias and volunteers in the city's defense. The narrative ends by considering the significance of the events of 1806â"07 on the development of a collective identity for the people of Buenos Aires and the eventual independence of Argentina from Spain.
