SCHLEZ, Mariano M.. Commercial maritime traffic during the British invasion of the Rio de la Plata (1806-1807). Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.1, e1030.  Epub 12-Fev-2020. ISSN 2007-3496.  https://doi.org/10.18232/alhe.1030.

The article aims to describe, weigh and analyze the commercial traffic of overseas vessels in the Río de la Plata during the British invasion (1806-1807), paying particular attention to its origin, destination and flag. From a historiographic balance, that justifies the approach of the investigation, a triangulation of serial sources, periodical publications and qualitative documentation, both British and Spanish, is proposed, which allow overcoming the difficulties presented for the analysis of the question. We conclude that the British invasion interrupted the commercial traffic between Spain and the Rio de la Plata, reorienting the flow to the British and foreign markets, dealing a mortal blow to the Spanish monopoly and opening a specific stage that we call direct trade by invasion.
