Spain and the Independence of Colombia, 1810-1825

by Rebecca Earle

Between 1808 and 1825, Latin America was engulfed in a wave of revolution that destroyed that Spanish empire in the Americas. This book studies the process of imperial collapse in one of these Spanish colonies: the Viceroyalty of New Granada, the future Republic of Colombia. Rebecca Earle makes use of previously unexplored Spanish documents to suggest that Spanish royalists inadvertently engineered their own defeat.
