| Summary: | After the War of Succession in 1713 the government of the Hispanic Monarchy was conscious about the crisis of the American colonial trade. Besides there was serious problems related to the internal configuration and the organization and maintenance of the Navy. That was an institutional crisis in an era in which the Spanish Crown desired to force the centralization of the State and administrations, but especially in relation to two aspects: the fiscal and the administration of the Armadas. In this scenario, José Patiño y Rosales (1666-1736) will unify the plans and political discourses from former statesmen and Seamen, such as Andrés de Pes, José Campillo, Manuel García de Bustamante or Bernardo Tinajero de la Escalera, to convert the classic reinforcement plans of colonial commerce through trading companies in an authentic naval development plan in the bay of Cadiz in cooperation with other ministers, such as Francisco de Varas and Valdés who, although distrustful of the fiscal problems of Cadiz, he cooperated with Patiño in order to reactivate the Atlantic navigation of the Carrera de Indias. |
