El Tratado de París by Eugenio Montero Ríos
"El Tratado de París" by Eugenio Montero Ríos is a historical account composed of conferences held in 1904. The text provides a retrospective analysis of Spain’s colonial situation, particularly focusing on the loss of its American colonies, including the disastrous outcomes of the Spanish-American War and the dynamics that led to the signing of the Treaty of Paris. This examination delves into the political and social underpinnings of Spain's colonial policies andtheir ramifications in the Americas. The opening of the work presents Montero Ríos addressing an audience, expressing his gratitude for their hospitality, and clarifying his intent as more of a historian than a political defender of colonial policies. He reflects on Spain's colonial history, detailing the evolution of its governance over its colonies while acknowledging the general public sentiment that attributes the responsibility for the loss of these territories to contemporary politicians. Montero Ríos emphasizes the historical context of unrest in colonies like Cuba, committing to exploring the full scope of events leading to the Treaty of Paris in subsequent discussions. His approach suggests a nuanced examination that aims to highlight not only the political failures but also the broader historical trends that dictated Spain's colonial fate.
