Momentos antes de la Independencia

Abstract

We analyze the colonial moment that the Viceroyalty of Peru had using the qualitative approach and the constructivist critical paradigm. The 18th century is a time of political definitions in Europe, despite the fact that Spain was involved in worldwide war conflicts, especially with England. The Bourbons had better administration and as a result a better economy to the detriment of the native communities where the colonies were located. In the international context Spain is worn out by the war with the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Fernando VII ceases to be popular to be unfriendly and hated by the Spanish people who defeated the French invasion of the Bonapartes, all this context had an impact on independence of the Spanish colonies in America.
