1 ene 1822 año - Ducoudray Holstein Expedition (attempt)

Descripción:

In 1822, there was an attempt known as the Ducoudray Holstein Expedetion, conceived, carefully planned and organized by General Henri La Fayette Villaume Ducoudray Holstein to invade Puerto Rico and delcare it a republic.

This invasion was different from all its precursors since none before had intended to make Puerto Rico an independant nation, and use the Taino name "Boricua" as the official name of the republic. It was also intended more as a mercantile venture than a patriotic endeavor. IT was the first time an invasion intended to make the city of Mayagüez the capital of the island. However, plans of the invasion were soon disclosed to the Spanish authorities and the plot never materialized.
