Description

Long before England established a serious presence in the New World, Spain had already established an overseas Empire.

In North America, this included vast tracts of territory comprising most of what today are the states of Florida, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Alabama, Illinois, and California. In later years, as the British and French expanded their claims, they often came into conflict with the Spanish. The Spanish also played a significant role during the American Revolution, fighting against the British and diverting forces needed to combat the Americans.

The Spanish Army in North America 1700–1793 covers all of the North American Spanish forces that fought in the campaigns of the 18th century.
