Their loyalty was in part a result of the social status, political opportunities, and economic benefits that produced their privileged style of life. But of greater importance were the various internal and external factors that threatened their privileges, including inter-group rivalries, the presence of subversive ideas linked to the French Revolution, growing numbers of black slaves who engaged in various forms of resistance, indigenous groups who blocked the exploitation of the viceroyalty?s resources, Portuguese interlopers, and British imperial ambitions that culminated with the invasions of the viceroyalty in 1806 and 1807. To retain their privileges and their tenuous hold over the region, the viceroyalty?s urban elites looked to Spain for help, ensuring their continuing loyalty to the Spanish crown in increasingly troubling times. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on January 13, 2021). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1776-1810|2fast 648 7 To 1810|2fast 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Rural conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1101474 650 7 HISTORY|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 651 0 Río de la Plata (Viceroyalty)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n81018825|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 651 0 Argentina|xHistory|y1776-1810.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85007041 651 0 Argentina|xPolitics and government|yTo 1810.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85007058 651 0 Argentina|xSocial conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85007071 651 0 Argentina|xRural conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009114245 651 7 Argentina.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205614 651 7 Europe|zRío de la Plata (Viceroyalty)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1212026 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBlanchard, Peter, 1946-|tFearful vassals.|dPittsburgh, Pa. : University of Pittsburgh Press, [2020]|z9780822946199|w(OCoLC)1143621259 830 0 Pitt Latin American series.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n42019087 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2664490|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
