AmRev360: Spain's Role in the American Revolution with Gonzalo M. Quintero Saravia

What role did Spain play in the winning of American Independence? In this episode of AmRev360, Dr. R. Scott Stephenson is joined by author, historian, and diplomat Dr. Gonzalo M. Quintero Saravia, Deputy Head of Mission in Lima, Peru, for a discussion about the intertwined histories of the United States and Spain, based on Quintero Saravia’s extensively researched book, Bernardo de Gálvez: Spanish Hero of the American Revolution. Gálvez (1746–86), the governor of Spanish Louisiana, played a prominent role in Spain’s involvement in the Revolutionary War, an important part of the Revolutionary story that is often overlooked. Who was Gálvez and why was his role — and that of Spain — so pivotal to the global conflict that was America’s War for Independence?
