The writer Ronald Muñoz, who is also a writer, author of "The Vatican discovered "in his essay published in 2010, entitled" The Return of the Royalists and their final defeat to the peoples' concerns that Venezuelans get used to think that the war of independence of this nation was a confrontation the people against Spain.
"We tend to imagine the struggle of a people conscious, united and cohesive, without any distinction fought against the invading armies of a foreign power. A people who understand perfectly the thinking of its leaders. However, this view is more consistent with the collective imagination to the reality of the events in our country. The fact is that initially the idea of \u200b\u200ban independent English-American nation was truly understood by few, and even, in principle belong to the visionary thinking of men such as Francisco de Miranda first, and soon after Simon Bolivar. At the beginning of the war, not the Venezuelan people for sure understand all the implications that the American colonies could constitute themselves an independent nation, foreign to the English Crown. "
commercial interest rather than an ideal
If much of the components of the more affluent economic classes felt sympathy by the idea of \u200b\u200bindependence from the English Crown, was more for the commercial interest of a collective ideal of national consciousness. "
Ronald Muñoz, who was delegated by Venezuela in the World Festival of Youth and Students in 2005, reiterates that the whole struggle was driven by the white descendants of Europeans and mainly by economic interests, " ... but philosophically and ideologically supported by the visionary thinking of Miranda and Bolivar, in turn, profoundly influenced by the philosophical currents of the French encyclopedists and Freemasonry. As for racial groups (indigenous, Afro descendants and mestizos), they break up between both sides depending on the circumstances. "
Realistic: Venezuelans who defended the English Crown
With a much more comprehensive than other pens descriptive of our historic struggle for independence, the author of the essay says that so-called realistic forces "... mostly were not English, Venezuelans were defending the English Crown and this was done because they wanted our people to remain under English rule. That's why in terms of independence was not talking about a war against the English army, but against the royal army elements. At best, the role of English soldiers in America was leading the army in favor of the Crown, but the proportion of those within the royal army was largely minority and in fact, at the end of the race was almost nonexistent. "
Muñoz, on the other hand, speaking of the return of the realists, Chapters V, VI and VII examine the subject and to make a realistic comparison between the past and the XXI century, unable to understand the time historical context in which they live, including the current Catholic Church, which believes that it really forever.
