Emancipación y diplomacia

"Sheds light on a little-known aspect of Francisco Solano López's 1853 European tour and his successful effort to gain Spanish recognition of Paraguay's independence. Makes good use of Spanish archival documents, several of which are transcribed here (perhaps the most interesting being a series of Spanish diplomatic dispatches from Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Rio de Janeiro during the Triple Alliance War)"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
