This work recounts the significant event of the English conquest of Havana in 1762, examining its impact on the island of Cuba and the relationships with colonial powers at the time. The author explores diplomatic efforts, military strategies, and the socio-political ramifications that arose from this tumultuous period. At the start of the narrative, Guiteras introduces the context of Havana's importance, discussing its strategic position and the fortifications in place prior to the English invasion. The prologue foreshadows the challenges faced by the Spanish governor, who has failed to adequately prepare for the impending attack despite the growing tensions and clear signs of hostilities. The text emphasizes the geopolitical implications of the alliance between Spain and France against Britain, setting the stage for the confrontation.
