The Junta de Guerra de Indias: origen and development. Between the military revolution and the politics Phillip II and Phillip II

Keywords: Junta de Guerra de Indias, Junta de Puerto Rico, War, Phillip II, Phillip III, Indias, 16-17th Centuries

Abstract

This article analyzes the birth and development of the first Junta de Guerra Indias. The study of its origin and background combines social and political history to understand its beginnings. The institutional development of the Junta transferred the models of the military revolution to the American continent. The study of the Junta allows us to affirm that military improvements were not the engine of a European expansion, but rather the result of the needs derived from the translation of European conflicts.
