**¿Sabías qué...? Los vascos y la independencia de Estados Unidos**

La guerra de independencia de Estados Unidos también se entiende mejor desde Euzkadi. El artículo destaca el papel de los comerciantes de Bilbao, en especial la Casa Gardoqui, en el envío de armas, pólvora y suministros al Ejército Continental. A eso se sumó la Real Fabrica de Armas de Soraluze que suministró las armas y la Compañía Guipuzcoana de Caracas, que transportó buena parte de los cargamentos secretos. Incluso las armas viajaban en piezas y se montaban en el centro logístico que la Guipuzcoana tenía en Isla Margarita y de allí se mandaba a Nueva Orleans donde otro vasco, el gobernador de Luisinana Luis de Unzaga y Amezaga, se las hacia llegar a independentistas.. A través de esta red se enviaron, por ejemplo, 215 cañones de bronce, 30.000 mosquetes, 30.000 bayonetas, 512 mil balas de mosquete, 300 mil libras de pólvora, 12.868 granadas, 30.000 uniformes y 4.000 carpas de campaña.
Es una historia poco conocida que conecta a los vascos con un momento decisivo de la historia atlántica y que es bueno recordar en el 250 aniversario de la declaración de independencia de los Estados Unidos de América del Norte.

Here is the translated text:Did you know...? The Basques and the United States IndependenceThe American War of Independence is also better understood from the Basque Country. The article highlights the role of Bilbao merchants, especially Casa Gardoqui, in sending weapons, gunpowder, and supplies to the Continental Army. Added to this was the Royal Arms Factory of Soraluze, which supplied the weapons, and the Guipuzcoana Company of Caracas, which transported a large part of the secret cargoes. The weapons even traveled in parts and were assembled at the logistics center that the Guipuzcoana Company had on Margarita Island; from there, they were sent to New Orleans where another Basque, the Governor of Louisiana, Luis de Unzaga y Amezaga, made sure they reached the independence fighters. Through this network, for example, 215 bronze cannons, 30,000 muskets, 30,000 bayonets, 512,000 musket balls, 300,000 pounds of gunpowder, 12,868 grenades, 30,000 uniforms, and 4,000 campaign tents were sent.It is a little-known story that connects the Basques to a decisive moment in Atlantic history and is good to remember on the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence of the United States of North America.For further exploration of this topic, historical archives often contain more details on the role of Luis de Unzaga y Amezaga, the records of Casa Gardoqui, and other related diplomatic correspondence from that era.
