Abstract

This paper analyzes the process of military mobilization of Spaniard residents in Montevideo as part of the so-called «Guerra Grande» (1838-1852), through a study of Basque, Catalan and Canary military forces. We’ll consider here these militias as complex social spaces, which generated tensions between the status of foreign subjects of the immigrants from overseas and the exercise of armed citizenship extended by the civil wars in the Rio de la Plata region. Finally, we’ll explore how this process of militarization generated resistance and, simultaneously, opened spaces of collective action inside which the patriotic identities and political loyalties of Spaniards immigrants became stronger and reformulated.
