We have summarized the essential of this book by the author.

The Spanish crown, the Indians and the Jesuits: a marriage of convenience

The alliance of the Spanish with the Indians of the region began early, when the former were looking for gold and needed indigenous agriculture to feed their armies. This predominant agricultural matrix over the large plantations will be a first lasting gross data in the Paraguayan economy.
Although in 1554 Irala distributed 20 thousand guaranies among 320 encomenderos, the Ordinances of Alfaro, applied by Hernandarias since 1611, eliminated the encomienda for the benefit of him and the newly arrived Jesuits, who monopolized indigenous forced labor in the best lands, with the best livestock and controlling communications, self-made ships, production and trade, almost entirely exempt from tax. The Jesuit Province of Paraguay had almost 150 thousand indigenous people and one million head of cattle.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXPULSION OF THE JESUITS IN THE RÍO DE LA PLATA

The Spanish crown, the Indians and the Jesuits: a marriage of convenience

The alliance of the Spanish with the Indians of the region began early, when the former were looking for gold and needed indigenous agriculture to feed their armies. This predominant agricultural matrix over the large plantations will be a first lasting gross data in the Paraguayan economy.

Although in 1554 Irala distributed 20 thousand guaranies among 320 encomenderos, the Ordinances of Alfaro, applied by Hernandarias since 1611, eliminated the encomienda for the benefit of him and the newly arrived Jesuits, who monopolized indigenous forced labor in the best lands, with the best livestock and controlling communications, self-made ships, production and trade, almost entirely exempt from tax. The Jesuit Province of Paraguay had almost 150 thousand indigenous people and one million head of cattle.

Their historical enemies were the São Paulo bandeirantes, the royal, military and ecclesiastical officials not included in their networks, the other religious orders and the elite, all excluded from free access to Indians, land, livestock, production and commerce.

In 1726 the Crown decided to separate the 13 missions that belonged to Paraguay and move them to Buenos Aires. And in 1739 Santa Fe was established as a precise port, forcing the Paraguayan elite to pay high taxes and to continue traveling to Buenos Aires by land.

The British presence, key to the agreements and disputes between Spaniards and Jesuits

Between 1739 and 1748 Spain was at war with England (Anglo-Spanish War). The English threatened to attack Spanish dominions, including the Americans. In addition, the British made huge profits from smuggling in Cologne. Surely this situation influenced the decision made in 1743 by Felipe V by means of the Cédula Grande, by which he ratified the privileges given to the Jesuits, including the tribute of only $ 1 per head.

The 1750s is the decade of greatest war tension, but already in 1760 it subsides. The loosening of border tension, added to the end in 1748 of the Spanish war with the English, explains why the Crown will no longer need the weapons of the Jesuit Indians. Two years after the peace with the British, in 1750 the Crown's alliance with the Jesuits ended, when Spain signed the Swap Treaty with Portugal. Spain wanted to recover Colonia, the hub of smuggling, and for this it gave up the seven missions in Rio Grande do Sul.

A majority of the Jesuits wanted to apply the treaty of 1750 so as not to clash with Spain. They tried to accept the evacuation and calm the Indians. But these escaped and unleashed the Guaranitic wars of 1753-1756, being defeated.

In 1756 the Seven Years'
