Abstract
La disputa diplomática de Francia contra la alianza anglo-prusiana sobre el conflicto político interno en los Países Bajos, como también la posterior disputa diplomática anglo-española sobre la bahía Nootka-Sound, fueron acontecimientos que obligaron a la corona española a establecer un plan estratégico de defensa imperial preventivo. Para el caso de la Intendencia de Arequipa, sus esfuerzos se concentraron en la movilización de las milicias y en el mejoramiento de la defensa del puerto y ciudad de Arica, dirigido de acuerdo a un plan estratégico-militar elaborado por el intendente Antonio Álvarez y Jiménez. Sin embargo, la ejecución del plan de defensa causó una abierta confrontación entre las autoridades civiles y militares, así como también una lucha en la dirección del mando entre oficiales veteranos y coroneles de milicias. Por estas consecuencias, las reformas militares borbónicas introducidas en el sur peruano, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, más que una solución a los problemas políticos-militares de seguridad imperial, fueronuna causa clave en la escalada de las luchas de poder entre criollos y peninsulares.
The diplomatic dispute between France and the Anglo-Prussian Alliance on the Dutch internal political conflict, and the subsequent Anglo-Spanish diplomatic dispute over the Nootka-Sound Bay, were events that forced the Spanish crown to establish a strategic preventive imperial defensive plan. In the case of the Intendancy of Arequipa, its efforts were concentrated in the mobilization of the militias and in the improvement of the defense of the port and city of Arica, directed according to a strategic and tactical defensive plan prepared by the intendant Antonio Álvarez y Jiménez. However, the execution of the defense plan caused an open confrontation between the civilian and military authorities, as also between the veteran official and the militia colonel forthe defensecommand leadership. Because of these consequences, the Bourbon military reforms introduced in Peru, during the second half of the eighteenthcentury, further polarized political struggle between Creoles and Peninsulares
