Spanish-American Diplomacy and Partnership in the Time of the Revolution: A Celebration of Trans-Atlantic Friendship

The American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati, the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute, and the Embassy of Spain in the United States joined together for a celebration of Spanish-American friendship to commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Aranjuez on April 12, 1779, a document that marked Spain’s formal pledge of support to France in its war with Great Britain in an alliance that contributed decisively to American independence. Rare items from the Society’s research library and museum collections, and classroom resources offered by both Institutes, were also on display.

SPEAKERS:
- H.E. SANTIAGO CABANAS, Ambassador of Spain to the United States
- DR. LARRIE D. FERREIRO, Author of Brothers at Arms: American Independence and the Men of France and Spain Who Saved It
- DR. RICHARD L. KAGAN, Academy Professor and Arthur O. Lovejoy Professor Emeritus of History, Johns Hopkins University
