Francis Drake and the War in Latin America

Bring Out Your Dead: Latin America vs. The British Empire

10/14/23 • 43 min

In our action-packed season 1 finale, we follow Drake as he twice leads naval flotillas into the heart of the Spanish Empire.
On our journey, we'll detail how Cartegena almost became an English colony, why Drake did not invent the Mojito, as well as fun Gaelic facts, as we chart the battles, victories, and ultimately defeats in Drake's desperate middle-aged attempt to hold on to his glory before both he and John Hawkins meet an enemy they cannot defeat, their bowels.
We also want to extend our deepest thanks to all of you listeners who have stuck with us through this experimental first season. We're still working it out as we go but the positive feedback from all of you guys has convinced us to keep going.
We will be taking a 1-month break before coming back with a series covering the 17th century.

The Anglo-Spanish War: Welcome to the War Room

Bring Out Your Dead: Latin America vs. The British Empire

10/07/23 • 49 min

Join us for our first ever war episode! Today we are covering the Anglo-Spanish war. As the antagonising actions of Francis Drake and imperial confidence of the English blow up into a war on land and sea. This week will be laying out the European course of the war as battles are fought in England, Spain, Holland and Ireland, before returning to Latin America next week.
In this war, we will explore the new imperial ideology that has given the English so much confidence. Why the Spanish campaign to stop them is a complete failure, and how, as a result the English, the Dutch and the French begin their globe spanning empires. Remember there is no fighting in the war room!

As we follow Drake on his journey your faithful tour guides Gruff and Chris will draw your attention to everything around you.

John Hawkins - Britain's First Slave Trader

Bring Out Your Dead: Latin America vs. The British Empire

09/09/23 • 48 min

Our first episode, will go way back to the early seed of British Imperialism planted in the mid-16th Century. Join us as we lay out the story of John Hawkins, whose singular obsession of trading enslaved Africans to Spanish American colonies will bring an ignored and uncultured Northern European Queendom into direct conflict with the world's first global super-power.
The early days of the horrific industry known as the Atlantic slave trade will be laid bare. How and why it developed, and its central role in building the framework of the early British Empire.
So join us to find out how a British capitalist invented the Triangular Trade, and why Queen Elizabeth I gave it the full backing of the British crown. On the lighter side, you will also learn why the British got the Sweet Potato years before they ever tasted a Potato and the disappointing realities of historical ship names. All before the Spanish Empire intervenes and brings the enterprise to a fiery end.
Join Gruff and Chris, as we examine the first brick laid in the building of the British Empire.

Walter Raleigh's Quest for El Dorado

Bring Out Your Dead: Latin America vs. The British Empire

09/15/24 • 53 min

Join us for the forgotten tale of Walter Raleigh's El Dorado obsession. This week's episode details the famous courtier's entire life. His failure to graduate from Oxford University, his numerous war crimes in Ireland and his decade as the unofficial royal toyboy. This is just the background to Raleigh's two El Dorado expeditions in Venezuela. While the first is an embarrassing failure, the second will lead to his execution. During these journeys, we take a few stops to read Raleigh's poetry, detail the historical origin of El Dorado, and make it clear that Walter Raleigh is uniquely responsible for locking El Dorado into the collective unconscious.

William Lamport Part 1: An Irish Patriot and Mexican National Hero

Bring Out Your Dead: Latin America vs. The British Empire

10/13/24 • 46 min

This week we begin our 3 parter on the life of William Lamport (AKA Gullién de Lampart, AKA Gullién Lombardo), an Irish Patriot and Mexican National Hero. But before we talk about Guillién de Lampart, The Precursor to Mexican Independence, we first have to talk about William Lamport, the Irish Rebel and North Sea Pirate, before then talking about Gullién Lombardo, the Spanish war hero, court poet, catholic theologian and secret agent. That is just his backstory. Using William's early life as a framework we examine the political and social situation in the Viceroyalty of New Spain through the early 17th century. While in New Spain we find out who the crypto-Jews were and how the Spanish Inquisition drove them to the shores of Mexico, before then heading south to meet Gaspar Yanga, an African Royal and self-liberated slave who, from his base in the mountains of Veracruz, led a 39 year war of liberation against Spain's colonial plantation owners. We finally finish in 1642 with the arrival in New Spain of a new Viceroy and Inquisitor General whose mission is to restore profitability to the ailing colony. In their entourage comes William, with his own secret orders, given to him by the King of Spain himself. Get bonus content on Patreon

William Lamport Part 2: The First Declaration of Independence in the Americas

Bring Out Your Dead: Latin America vs. The British Empire

10/27/24 • 52 min

Welcome to William Lamport Part 2, where we discuss the radical politics and revolutionary potential of the mad lad William Lamport. Today we outline the colonial class structure, and racist caste system that had come to define life in the Spanish Empire during the mid-17th century. An ailing society in which everyone was willing to rebel but lacked a unifying cause. So came William Lamport seeking to galvanize that revolutionary potential and build a post-colonial state in a precapitalist world. We will examine how in 1642, 382 years ago, 134 years before the USA's declaration of Independence, William Lamport already imagined a society with land reparations for the Indigenous peoples of New Spain. We'll look into how more than 150 years before slavery was outlawed in the Western world William Lamport was prepared to fight and die for racial equality. We'll see, how, Just as the British Empire was establishing itself in the Caribbean, Lamport already saw something beyond Imperialism. This was and is the first Declaration of Independence in the Americas, A document that is beautifully progressive, confusingly archaic, and, depressingly forgotten. Today's story shows one lost tale of what could have been, and what was intentionally crushed. It is the story of Western hegemony and just one of the thousands of voices who spoke out against it.
