Resumen
PITA PICO, Roger. Puerto Cabello: the surrender of the last monarchical bastion in Venezuela during the wars of Independence. Rev. hist. Am. [online]. 2020, n.158, pp.73-103. Epub 28-Feb-2022. ISSN 2663-371X. https://doi.org/10.35424/rha.158.2020.597.
Within the framework of the commemoration of the Bicentennial of the period of Independence of the Hispano-American nations, this article aims to analyze the process of surrendering the city of Puerto Cabello, the last bastion of the monarchical regime in Venezuela. After signing the capitulations, several stages can be identified that will be examined throughout this article: surrender, swearing-in, demobilization, weapons delivery and reintegration. This peaceful way was, in real terms, a reasonable option of the two sides in the final phase of a long and bloody war. This work is part of the purpose of reviewing the process of Independence not from the prism of war as was the constant of traditional historiography but from the perspective of negotiated pathways.
