XXVIII EL REY REVILLAGIGEDO Y LA DEFENSA DEL PUERTO DE VERACRUZ, 1789-1794 Martín González de la Vara* EL COLEGIO DE MICHOACÁN El puerto de Veracruz siempre fue en un punto nodal del sistema de- fensivo novohispano, pero su importancia estratégico-militar se acen- tuó en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII debido el involucramiento del Imperio Español en constantes conflictos internacionales y a la crea- ción de un ejército profesional en sus colonias americanas. Durante el régimen virreinal del conde de Revillagigedo (1789-1794) se vivió en Nueva España un estado de casi-guerra durante el cual se puede cons- tatar cómo la institución militar iba adquiriendo mayor poder políti- co. Veracruz se convirtió en un pequeño escenario donde lo militar adquiría cada vez más relevancia. Pese a que el puerto no fue atacado entonces, confluyeron en él un creciente presupuesto militar, una or- ganización bélica cada vez más compleja y una gran cantidad de cuer- pos de ejército que nos permiten vislumbrar la militarización de la po- lítica local y de algunas áreas de la vida cotidiana de Veracruz.

En la Nueva España, el gasto militar creció de manera desmesurada hasta convertirse en el primer renglón de egresos de su Real Hacienda.

It argues that their traditional martial perceptions – almost exclusively based in imperial experiences, especially against the Muslims in North Africa and in India – were transformed by the direct exposure to Spanish military endeavours in Europe. It also argues that the experience in Flanders resurfaced in the South Atlantic, in all its religious and political dimensions, transforming the prestige of Brazil as a battlefield. Finally, the article revisits the way the Flanders experience poisoned Spanish–Portuguese relations. Keywords Portuguese Atlantic, Iberian Union, War of Flanders, martial imaginary, battleground perceptions Introduction King Sebastian, in his attempt to go to North Africa, to attack the Moors himself, beyond being moved by the zeal of exalting the Catholic Faith, and spreading the Christian religion, had the example of all of his ancestors, who were always the Generals of their own Arms, and the first ones to attack. King John I went in person to take Ceuta with his four sons in a massive fleet. Afonso V went himself three times…to carry on with the war on the Berber Coast, where he achieved many victories… Manuel I was also determined to go there, carrying on with this Corresponding author: Miguel Dantas da Cruz, Instituto de Ciências Sociais – Lisbon University, Av.

  • Strategy and Tactics in the Thirty Years' War: the »Military Revolution«
    Aufsätze David A. Parrott Strategy and Tactics in the Thirty Years' War: The »Military Revolution« For iwenty years Professor Michael Roberts' work on the »Military Revolution« of the period 1560 — 1660 enjoyed undisputed pre-eminence as the accepted interpreta- tion of military developments in early modern Europe^. In 1976, an article by Geof- frey Parker made the first — and to my knowledge, only — general criticisms of Ro- berts' thesis that a series of tactical changes had a revolutionary impact upon Euro- pean warfare^. Professor Parker expressed reasoned doubts about whether these changes could be described as revolutionary, since serious inconsistencies emerge in any attempt to assess their practical impact. Why, in 1634, did the tactically conserva- tive Spanish army wipe out the »new model« Swedish at Nördlingen^? Why were the developments in tactics and strategy unable to bring the European conflict to any de- cisive conclusion? Parker's suggestion is that Roberts greatly over-emphasized inflexi- bility and traditionalism in the »conservative« armies, particularly the Spanish. He proposes that it is possible to trace a receptiveness to similar tactical developments back at least to the condottiere of the fifteenth Century, and that a willingness to ap- proach common military problems was not confined to the Dutch and the Swedes. In matters of developing firepower, the quality of cavalry, the deployment of small units and in effective training, the Spanish army was quite as progressive as its rivals Yet the effect of this is to confirm by implication the importance of the tactical changes commonly ascribed to the Nassau and to Gustavus Adolphus.

  • The Migration of an Emblem Through the Example of the Cross of Burgundy
    The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy by Patrice de La Condamine Abstract The choice for the subject of this paper, The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy, needs an explanation. The purpose of this subject is double. The first one, as the first part of the title indicates, is to show the migration of the emblems, showing that they follow the movements of populations. The second purpose is to explain this reality through an example: the cross of Burgundy. This choice seems to be all the more appropriate since the country which welcomes us was one of the first to receive this emblem on its ter - ritory, in historic circumstances that everybody knows. The story could begin with Once upon a time, there was a cross... The Burgundian native land I do not pretend to know everything about the origins of the cross of Burgundy, how - ever I can talk about its history. First, its name ‘Cross of Burgundy’ does not let any doubt 1 about its origin: Burgundy, the actual region situated in the east of France. On the graphic aspect, it’s a saltirewise cross, called a Saint-Andrew’s cross 2, which is particular, as on the edges of its four limbs some small branch-like offshoots from the main cross can be noticed. That is why this emblem is also called “croix écotée”, 6 in The saltire of Burgundy French. Originally, it represented two crossed tree trunks of which the branches had been cut off, so that only the sawn-off ends remained.

  • Spanish Army Attitudes to the Irish at Kinsale ÓSCAR RECIO MORALES
    Spanish army attitudes to the Irish at Kinsale ÓSCAR RECIO MORALES Artículo tomado de en Morgan, Hiram (ed. por), The Battle of Kinsale. Dublín (Irlanda): Wordwell. 2004. 91-100 pp. A close examination of the Spanish soldiers' opinions and criticisms of this particular military operation, of their specific perception of the Irish territory and of the Gaelic war tactics, can help us not only to better understand the results of this operation but also to outline and define the general Spanish army's position on anything involving the `Irish question' in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The topic is not easy as traditionally military history has not borne in mind `feelings' and `perceptions' but rather `facts'. The military context is seen as subordinated to well-known rules, in the form of a rigid hierarchy wherein the commanding officers and their soldiers simply carry out the orders of the 'Establishment'. It is a history often presented in a manner reminiscent of the French firing squad depicted by Goya in his famous work on the executions in Madrid on 2 May 1808. These soldiers, having their backs turned to us, have no faces, since they do not matter as individuals: they are only a `death machine' carrying out orders. Nevertheless, if we had asked each of these anonymous French soldiers about their stay in a poor, hard, dry land like Castile, where they had to confront an 'enemy' who knew the territory intimately and carried out a guerrilla warfare which was impossible to stop, what would they have replied? Since I started to study the Kinsale expedition I have asked myself what the Spanish soldiers landed in Ireland may have thought in such a different theatre of war, far from the scenarios they were used to.

Geoffrey Parker studies one of the great logistical feats of early modern Europe: how Habsburg Spain managed to maintain and mobilise the largest army in Europe in an -year effort to suppress the Dutch Revolt, miles away. Using a unique combination of surviving records, he presents strikingly the logistical problems of fighting wars in early modern Europe, and demonstrates why Spain failed to suppress the Dutch Revolt.
