Laura: | ¿Crees tú, que sin la ayuda de España, los EE UU podrían haber podido independizarse de Inglaterra? |
David: | Mmm, no sé… Vayamos al grano, Laura. ¿Hay datos que confirman esa hipótesis? |
Laura: | Pues sí, voy a ir al grano. Después de leer el libro de relatos Bajo dos banderas, publicado en 2018, creo que la intervención de España fue totalmente crucial. |
David: | Veamos… La Guerra de Independencia de EE UU se desarrolló entre 1775 y 1783… Por lo tanto, estamos hablando de la época en la que Carlos III reinaba España… |
Laura: | ¡Matrícula en historia, David! Lo has dicho muy bien. |
