Liniers Counter-Revolution (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. When the May Revolution took place in Buenos Aires (modern Argentina) in 1810, the former viceroy Santiago de Liniers led an ill-fated counter-revolutionary attempt from the city of C rdoba. It was quickly thwarted by the patriotic forces from Buenos Aires led by Ortiz de Ocampo, who captured the leaders and dispatched them to Buenos Aires as prisoners. Fearing a political commotion, the Primera Junta ordered Juan Jos Castelli to intercept the party before the arrival, take command of the army and shoot the prisoners.
