If the participation of Spain in the war of independence of the United States has a main milestone, it is Bernardo de Gálvez and the battle that consecrated him was that of Pensacola in 1781.

The Spanish conquest of Pensacola was the turning point in this war. He allowed the French fleet to come to the support of the American revolutionaries in the siege of Yorktown, returned the two Floridas to Spain ensuring full control of the maritime routes through the Caribbean and forced the British to adopt a defensive position leaving the initiative to the Franco-Spanish side.
