          Abstract

          RESUMEN El presente artículo analiza las dinámicas sociales y políticas que se produjeron en el contexto de las disputas imperiales entre ingleses y españoles en las costas de la Mosquitia y los territorios adyacentes, ubicados en el Caribe occidental, a finales del siglo XVIII. Se analiza cómo a pesar de los planes ingleses de tomar el control del río San Juan para establecer una ruta entre el Caribe y el Pacífico centroamericano, estos fracasaron por los intereses disímiles y las tensiones entre los militares de la armada inglesa y las autoridades de Jamaica. En estas tensiones se destacó el militar inglés Robert Hodgson, quien desempeñó un papel importante, primero como parte de la armada inglesa y luego como prisionero y negociador con los españoles. Además, se examina el rol de la inteligencia militar de los marinos españoles y la actuación del Virreinato del Nuevo Reino de Granada, liderado por el virrey Caballero y Góngora, con miras a frustrar cualquier proyecto inglés sobre Centroamérica.

          ABSTRACT This article analyzes the social and political dynamics that emerged in the context of imperial disputes between English and Spaniards in Mosquitia coasts, and in the adjacent territories located by the West Caribbean Coast at the end of 18th century. It is analyzed how regardless the plans English had to take control over San Juan River to establish a route between Central American Caribbean and Pacific coasts, they failed due to dissimilar interests and to the tensions between English army militaries and Jamaican authorities. In these tensions it is found the English military Robert Hodgson, who played an important role, first, as part of the English army and later as a prisoner and negotiator with the Spaniards. In addition, it is examined the role that Spanish marine's military intelligence played and also the actions led by Viceroy Caballero y Gongora, with his purpose to frustrate any English project over Central American.
