{"product_id":"revolucion-edaf-en","title":"REVOLUCION (EDAF)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn July 4, 1776, the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. Spanish assistance to the War of Independence was so significant and substantial that it is truly difficult to understand how it could have been concealed for 250 years. American historiography has systematically and remarkably successfully obscured Spain's role in the American Revolutionary War, despite it being the most significant aid the United States received. This work sheds light on previously unknown aspects and addresses issues of enormous relevance: the prior negotiations between all parties, the ever-complex relationship with France, and the ambiguity of its politicians and military leaders, leading us to question whether they were truly allies of Spain or its worst enemies, as well as the behavior of the American envoys before the Spanish court. All the key players, not just the main figures, and the most important events are presented within its pages, avoiding both triumphalism and victimhood, as both are enemies of the truth. It clarifies what was paid for, who paid for it, to whom it was surrendered, and, above all, who had to sacrifice themselves so that the United States can continue to celebrate its independence today. Finally, the study examines how peace was negotiated and who its architects were, as well as those grateful for such a timely and selfless gesture, and what Spain gained in return for such generosity. If recovering the financial debt is impossible, at least it is necessary to continue demanding recognition of the enormous moral debt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edaf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53709483147448,"sku":"9788441444942","price":34.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0890\/7082\/9752\/files\/9788441444942.jpg?v=1783381675","url":"https:\/\/spanishpublishers.net\/products\/revolucion-edaf-en","provider":"Spanish Publishers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
