- 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 Góngora, with his purpose to frustrate any English project over Central American.
