Anson, Wall y el papel del Lago español en el enfrentamiento colonial hispano-británico (1740-1762)
Resumen
RESUMEN: A lo largo de todo el s. XVIII se vive entre España e Inglaterra un evidente enfrentamiento colonial, sea abierto o larvado. El papel del Océano Pacífico es testimonial hasta la aparición del comodoro George Anson y su expedición circunnavegatoria, en 1742-43. Los cambios en la estrategia británica intentarán ser compensados por otro personaje importante: el teniente general español Ricardo Wall, primero como embajador en Inglaterra y luego como ministro de estado.
