Despite the vast amount of research on the Revolutionary period in Argentina, the British invasions, which happened just four years before the beginning of that period, have gotten consistently little attention. Part of the reason for this is that researchers are using the words of the heroes of the Argentine revolution. These sources have little, if anything, to say about what the human side of the British invasions, and primary and secondary sources alike minimize and gloss over the importance of these invasions. By examining British memoirs, diaries, and courts martial, an entirely different picture of Buenos Aires emerges. This picture challenges the picture implied by Argentinists, which posits revolutionarily patriotic portenos against imperialist Britons. Instead, the picture these sources reveal is one in which portenos treated the British as friends and even offered their protection. Furthermore, this thesis corrects the impression that the invasions were simple, by showing the complicated path to invasion, and shows how the invasions directly altered the political power structure of the city in a concrete fashion, which is something that Argentine sources - and the historians who ignore the British sources, often dismiss.

During 1806 and 1807, there were British Invasions of the coastal zone of the Rio de la Plata region. In two different opportunities, the British army attacked Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Buenos Aires was the capital city of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata and Montevideo was the region's principal port and the base of the Spanish fleet in the South Atlantic. In August 1806, after 46 days of British control, the rioplatense corps defeated the British army in Buenos Aires. After the downfall, the British forces regrouped and delineated a new strategy. In 1807 they decided to take Montevideo and plan the attack on Buenos Aires from the eastern coast of the river. Once again, local military forces beat the British army, forcing them to leave the area after signing an armistice. This political periphery of the Spanish empire revealed itself as an attractive economic hub for developing British imperial commerce. The goal was to dominate Buenos Aires and Montevideo because the location of their ports was a pivotal place for the international markets and to face inter-imperial rivalries. They also provided access to the southern part of the American continent and a connection between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This study explores the organization of the British invasions of Rio de la Plata at the beginning of the nineteenth century to understand the nature and project of the British empire in the South Atlantic.

In 1806 a British expeditionary force captured Buenos Aires. Over the next eighteen months, Britain was sucked into a costly campaign on the far side of the world. The Spaniards were humbled on the battlefield and Montevideo was taken by storm, but the campaign ended in disaster when 6000 redcoats and riflemen surrendered following a bloody battle in the streets of the Argentine capital. So ended one of the most humiliating and neglected episodes of the entire Napoleonic Wars.In The British Invasion of the River Plate Ben Hughes tells the story of this forgotten campaign in graphic detail. His account is based on research carried out across two continents. It draws on contemporary newspaper reports, official documents and the memoirs, letters and journals of the men who were there.He describes the initially successful British invasion, which was stopped when their troops were surrounded in Buenos Aires main square and forced to surrender, and the second British attack which was eventually defeated too. His narrative covers the course of the entire campaign and its aftermath. While focusing on the military and political aspects of the campaign, his book gives an insight into the actions of the main protagonists William Carr Beresford, Sir Home Popham, Santiago de Liniers and Black Bob Craufurd and into the experiences of the forgotten rank and file.He also considers the long-term impact of the campaign on the fortunes of the opposing sides. Many of the British survivors went on to win glory in the Peninsular War. For the Uruguayans and Argentines, their victory gave them a sense of national pride that would eventually encourage them to wrest their independence from Spain.

Drawing on largely unexplored nineteenth- and twentieth-century sources, this book offers an in-depth study of Britain’s presence in Argentina. Its subjects include the nineteenth-century rise of British trade, merchants and explorers, of investment and railways, and of British imperialism. Spanning the period from the Napoleonic Wars until the end of the twentieth century, it provides a comprehensive history of the unique British community in Argentina. Later sections examine the decline of British influence in Argentina from World War I into the early 1950s. Finally, the book traces links between British multinationals and the political breakdown in Argentina of the 1970s and early 1980s, leading into dictatorship and the Falklands War. Combining economic, social and political history, this extensive volume offers new insights into both the historical development of Argentina and of British interests overseas.
