Sumario:This article examines El Voto de Guerra, published by Benedicto Medinaceli in Sucre (Bolivia) between May and September 1866. In its ten fascicles, the document explained and justified, from Medinaceli’s perspective, the participation of Bolivia in the Spanish - South American War on the side of Peru, Chile, and Ecuador in response to what was considered an act of aggression by Spain. A review of the document addressed to the contemporary “Tribunal de la Opinion” provides insight into some arguments of the Americanist intellectual and publicist regarding the project of continental union and the conflict with the Spanish.
