Viva la revolución: Spain and Revolutionary America

It can be easy to think of the American Revolution as a conflict between the American colonies and Great Britain, with some assistance from the French.

Join historian Marie Arana to learn how Spain was involved in the colonies’ fight for independence, from 1776 to the siege of Yorktown, and their broader role in the Americas during this era of revolution.
