Spain in the American Revolutionary War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spain entered the American Revolutionary War as an ally of France in June 1779, a renewal of the Bourbon Family Compact. Unlike France, however, Spain did not right away recognize the independence of the United States, as Spain was not keen on encouraging similar anti-colonial rebellions in the Spanish Empire. Even before its formal entry into the war, Spain had been providing aid to the rebels.
