Hello, we are Clara, Belén, Martina, Taira, and Mezquelu, and we're going to talk about Diego María de Gardoque. 00:00:00
Diego María de Gardoque Yarriquibar was born on November 12, 1735 in Bilbao and died on November 12, 1798 in Turín. 00:00:13
He was the Secretary of the Council of State of HM Charles IV, and at the same time he was also the General Superintendent of the Royal Treasury. 00:00:22
Besides that, he was also the Secretary of Illness of Don Pedro López de Lerena, Count of Lerena, in 1791. 00:00:30
Talking about his family, Diego's parents were José Ignacio de Gardoqui and María Simona de Arriquibal. 00:00:38
He married Brigida Josefa de Orueta in 1776 and had three children, 00:00:43
José Gardoqui Llorueta, Josefa Joaquina and María Simona de Riquibar. 00:00:49
Diego de Gardoqui was an official commissioned by the King of Spain, Charles III, 00:00:54
to manage the shipments of money and supplies to the 13 colonies during the American Revolution. 00:00:59
After the war, he served as Spain's first ambassador to Congress 00:01:06
and was one of only two foreigners to attend George Washington's inauguration 00:01:09
as the first president of the United States in 1789. 00:01:14
Gardocki's house was also the meeting place of the first Catholic dignitaries 00:01:20
representing their countries. 00:01:26
Gardocki worked to protect the king's interests on the Mississippi River. 00:01:29
Gardocki worked with John Brown and General James Wilkinson in 1788 00:01:34
to procure a treaty between Kentucky and Spain concerning navigation on the river. 00:01:39
Gardoqui was the Spanish counterparty to the Jay-Gardoqui Treaty of 1789, negotiated by 00:01:44
John Jay of the United States, relating to the navigational rights of Spain in the Mississippi 00:01:52
River. 00:01:57
Gardoqui, in 1785-86, has arranged for a Spanish horse to be sent to Jay. 00:01:58
After Gardoqui returned to Spain in 1788, he was later succeeded in the United States 00:02:06
by two diplomats, José de Llao de Nesinebot and José Ignacio de Villar, serving as charge d'affaires 00:02:13
to the United States, both of whom had served on Gardoqui's own staff during 1785-88. Tenured, 00:02:19
Gardoqui was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1789. On June 12, 1783, Gardoqui was 00:02:28
appointed general consul in London and held the post on January 4th, 1784. On September 27 of 00:02:39
that same year, he was appointed minister plenipotentiary to the United States, presenting 00:02:46
his credentials on June 22, 1785 in New York. On April 30, 1789, he stood by George Washington 00:02:51
during his inauguration as the first president of the United States. In 1790, Cardochi was named 00:03:01
director of the Commerce of the Indies. On January 21, 1796, he received the mission of ambassador 00:03:09
in turn. Since his arrival at the ministry, Cardoqui wanted to face a policy of promoting 00:03:17
the sources of national wealth, liquidate the national debt, and provide resources to finance 00:03:23
extraordinary expenses that the future might bring. Actions such as facilitating the shipping 00:03:29
of military supplies or acting as an intermediary between Spain and the United States by providing 00:03:35
financial aid contributed significantly to the success of the American Revolution. 00:03:41
Although not all of his actions had positive consequences, Gardochi attempted to negotiate 00:03:46
an agreement on the navigability of the Mississippi, proposing that the United States 00:03:51
give up its navigation rights for three decades. This proposal was not well received by the 00:03:56
population, as southerners and westerns felt abandoned by their leader. 00:04:02
Gardoqui's actions have left a lasting mark. 00:04:08
In Philadelphia, there is a statue in his honor. 00:04:11
A U.S. Navy ship during World War II was named the USS Gardoqui. 00:04:13
His actions in American independence and as the first ambassador have been recognized 00:04:21
and studied by historians facilitating the understanding of early Spanish-American relations. 00:04:25
Thank you. 00:04:32
