General Economy

The movement of many vessels up and down the coasts of the Viceroyalty of Peru in the seventeenth century marked the existence of a lively commercial system within the Spanish Empire. In many respects, this maritime economy evolved quite apart and under different influences from the Atlantic world. The nature and dynamics of this trade and navigation within the viceroyalty's domain in this century are the subject of this brief exploration. The primary goal is to outline the major aspects of trade and navigation and describe some meaningful trends. Secondarily, a consideration of the subject seems to reveal die existence of an economy, lively, robust and expansive diat stands in sharp contrast to die ardiridc, decaying state of Spain's general economy in die seventeentii century.

History Of

In 1549, after 11 years of slavery, and exile, an indigenous woman made it home to her people. In the time of her captivity, she became one of the most geopolitically important and well-traveled indigenous women in the Spanish Empire. Her name—or the name Spanish society gave her—was Madalena, and she returned home to Tocobaga, in what is now Tampa Bay. From bondage in Havana, she was taken to be the translator for a missionary expedition that sought to peacefully convert her people into citizens of the imagined Spanish colony of Florida. That mission, like every other European attempt to settle the region up to the nineteenth century, would fail, but this latest failure of Spanish colonialism meant that Madalena could return to life among her own people, unlike most indigenous slaves of the sixteenth century.

The Impact

The following seminar-paper deals with the early modern colonialism by the example of the Spanish Empire. In this context the paper works on the question how and why the formerly small kingdom Castile-Aragón was successful in conquering the so called ‘new world’ and as a result in establishing one of the largest empires from global extent in world history from the 15th to the 16th century. Therefor the paper examines the conditions on the Iberian Peninsula at that time as well as the backgrounds of the oversea-conquest, including the impact on the indigenous population, to finally clarify the question of how the spanish colonialism was designed.

Peace In Europe

This book considers the extraordinary revival of Spanish power following the War of the Spanish Succession. Between 1713 and 1748 the Spain of Philip V was the single greatest threat to peace in Europe. That threat was due in large part to Philip’s overhaul of Spain’s institutions, including its armed forces. At the same time, however, there was greater continuity with the Habsburg past than is usually acknowledged by historians. The book also questions the current preoccupations with the Atlantic world, emphasising Philip V’s ambitions–and success–in the Mediterranean, Italy and north Africa. The book further considers attitudes in Spain and Spanish Italy to Philip’s reconstruction of Spanish empire. Last, but by no means least, whereas most studies of the reign emphasise Philip’s domination by his second wife, Isabel Farnese, this book places greater stress on the input of the king himself.

Together or separate in the fight against oppression? Liberals in Peru and Spain in the 1820s

Independence Movements

Following the new avenues of research opened by historians of the Atlantic world, this study analyzes key ideological writings in the press to illustrate some thematic and ideological interconnections between liberals in Spain and Peru in the 1810s and early 1820s. Liberalism emerged in the Spanish world as an ideology-in-the-making that was both Peninsular and American. Liberalism was conceived in broad and abstract terms as a struggle for the overthrow of absolutism and the implementation of liberties and constitutionalism. Soon it evolved into a protest against the oppression of Ferdinand VII’s despotic rule as well as military despotism in Spanish America. Although by the 1820s independence movements prevailed in most parts of Spanish America, many liberals on both sides of the Atlantic continued to envision their struggle as a common one. These circumstances have often been overlooked in the historiography of both Spain and Spanish America, but they are key to understanding the breakdown of the Spanish empire in central areas of Spanish dominion, such as the viceroyalty of Peru.
