Uncle Sam's War of 1898 and the Origins of Globalization

El simple hecho de referirse a un general español implica que Souza no es español. Una vez localizado al coronel Souza, el documento alemán aumenta su valor y credibilidad. Tanto, que ya se puede pensar en un complot internacional antes del golpe de Estado.
