Summary

This study contains an overview of the involvement of the Basques in the American Army in the eighteenth century. An analysis is made on how the Basques used the armed service as a way of promotion and social prominence, so the Army in this century became a very attractive institution for those Basques seeking not just a favourable placement outside their homeland, but also a form of prestige and nobility.
