Entre fines de 1856 y comienzos de 1857 arribaron al Río de la Plata dos contingentes de efectivos que habían pertenecido a la Legión Anglo-Italiana, un cuerpo creado mediante un acuerdo de las autoridades de Inglaterra y el reino de Piamonte para combatir en la guerra de Crimea. El transporte de esos combatientes tenía como objetivo formar una colonia militar en la Confederación Argentina, pero los problemas logísticos, políticos y financieros hundieron el plan antes de la fundación del enclave. Los documentos que aquí publicamos constituyen un observatorio para analizar la geopolítica del Atlántico, las motivaciones de los milicianos, así como las dificultades logísticas para fomentar un tipo específico de “colonización armada”. Entre o final de 1856 e o início de 1857, dois contingentes de tropas que pertenciam à Legião Anglo-Italiana, um corpo criado por acordo entre as autoridades da Inglaterra e do Reino do Piemonte para lutar na Guerra da Crimeia, chegaram ao Rio da Prata. O transporte desses combatentes tinha o objetivo de formar uma colônia militar na Confederação Argentina, mas problemas logísticos, políticos e financeiros arruinaram o plano antes que o enclave fosse fundado. Os documentos publicados aqui fornecem um observatório para analisar a geopolítica do Atlântico, as motivações dos milicianos, bem como as dificuldades logísticas para promover um tipo específico de “colonização armada”.
