- Abstract
During the eighteenth century, one of the most important objectives of the chief European monarchies was naval strategy, and consequently, great efforts were made to consolidate navies and to create a prestigious naval officer class. Since these naval officer corps had special features, they had to be provided with relatively new attributes; this is why some European navies applied more marked measures of professionalization than other institutions. In this study, we consider the development of the Spanish case in the second half of the eighteenth century, offering to this end the portrait of the Spanish naval officer that was forged in the early nineteenth century, a critical period for the Spanish navy and the country in general. The study of this literature reveals some interesting issues which are at the core of an analysis of the eighteenth century.
