La pérdida de la isla de Jamaica por la Corona española y los intentos de recuperarla durante los años 1655-1660

New documentary evidence reveals the complex political and military struggle between Spain and England for control of Jamaica from 1655 to 1660, highlighting the island's loss to Spanish sovereignty. The study focuses on Spain's pre-invasion conditions, Governor Isasi's guerrilla warfare efforts, and New Spain's attempts to restore Spanish authority, while also analyzing England's failed expedition under Admiral William Penn, their subsequent capture of Jamaica, and the challenges faced by English troops. This research draws on previously unexamined documents from the General Archive of the Indies in Seville, offering a detailed account of the resource mobilization and strategic efforts by both powers during this pivotal period.
