Preparativos para la defensa de la isla de Cuba ante un ataque británico en 1808

Abstract

[ES]A principios de 1808 un nuevo factor vino a desestabilizar más la situación política en Cuba: la amenaza de un ataque británico. El peligro de que una expedición inglesa se dirigiese contra las costas cubanas se convirtió en un problema real, más allá de las intenciones auténticas que tuviesen los británicos. El riesgo de ataque se tornó en un argumento de peso esgrimido por el capitán general para poner en estado de defensa toda la isla, contando con la colaboración del Real Consulado, Intendencia, Comandancia de Marina y distintos cabildos a lo largo de la isla, especialmente La Habana y Santiago de Cuba. En estos preparativos se puso de manifiesto la incapacidad de las tropas veteranas, así como la gran importancia de los cuerpos milicianos.

[EN]At the beginning of 1808 a new factor destabilized the political situation in Cuba: the threat of a British attack. The danger of a British expedition directed against the Cuban coast became a real problem, beyond the real intentions of the British. The risk of attack became an important argument held by the Captain General to put the island into a state of defence with the collaboration of the Royal Consulate, Intendancy, Naval Command and various town councils throughout the island, especially Havana and Santiago de Cuba. These arrangements revealed the inability of the veteran troops, as well as the great importance of the militia.
