- Abstract
During the British Invasions (1806-1807), a militarization process of the society of the Rio de la Plata began, and it crystallized in the creation of diverse militias to defend the territory. The new provincially based groups, identified themselves as neighbours who volunteered to take part in the conflict, and that broke the traditional structure of this viceregal figure. This provoked tough opposition, and diverse conflicts, with several military commanders and high authorities of the viceregal's institutions. This article will focus in the militia groups formed by the Catalan community in tackle with them: how they adopted their own militia identity, the opposition they found and how they used this new status to intervene in the new paths of political participation that opened in the hard damaged, but not broken, viceregal structure during the military conflict.
