Los pícaros godos: participación y experiencias de jefes y soldados realistas durante la guerra en el espacio sur-andino. 1809-1825

Article

Summary

The objective of this article is the analysis of the participation and mobilization of those chiefs and soldiers belonging to the King’s army who acted in the revolutionary war in the South-Andean space. From the study of different cases, it is intended to understand the experiences of the war and the degrees of indication of these actors with the political cause during the processes of struggle against the revolutionary side. The question whether the summons issued by the chiefs and officers had an impact on the troops to identify them with the political cause to defend, point to a problem that has been debated for some decades in American and Spanish historiography.
