商品簡介
The military history of Puerto Rico goes back from the time Spanish conquistadores battled
the native Ta璯os in the rebellion of 1511, to the present time.
Puerto Rico was part of the Spanish Empire for four centuries, during which the people
of Puerto Rico defended themselves against invasions from the British, French, Dutch and
many more.
The brave "Boricuas" warriors fought alongside General Bernardo de G嫮vez during the

During the mid-19th century, Puerto Ricans residing in the United States fought in the
American Civil War.
