it is 1777 the american colonies are fighting for independence from great britain the war is long 00:00:00

cold and exhausting the soldiers are tired and they are running out of supplies and continue like 00:00:16

this we barely have gun power left some men don't even have proper shoes how are we supposed to 00:00:22

defeat the British army? Across the Atlantic Ocean in Spain, a wealthy merchant named Diego 00:00:31

Gardoqui reads reports about the war. Don Diego, the American colonies are desperate. They need 00:00:37

weapons, ammunition, blankets, almost everything. If they lose, Britain becomes even stronger. 00:00:43

But if they win, the balance of power changes. This could reshape history. Helping them is risky. 00:00:50

Britain is powerful. If they discover we are sending supplies, there could be consequences. 00:00:57

Freedom is always a risk, but sometimes history demands action. 00:01:02

Cardochi uses his trading company to secretly organize supplies. 00:01:06

Guns, gunpowder, uniforms and medicine. The cargo is prepared in silence. 00:01:10

The ships are ready, but British patrols are increasing. 00:01:15

Send them anyway. Mark the cargo as commercial goods. It must reach the American army. 00:01:19

Weeks later on America's soil 00:01:25

The supplies have arrived, we have ammunition, we have uniforms 00:01:27

Hope spreads through the camp, the soldiers feel stronger, they are no longer alone 00:01:31

Tell Spain, tell Diego Gardoqui that his hope keeps us fighting 00:01:36

The war continues, years later the United States wins its independence and Diego Gardoqui does not disappear from the state 00:01:39

Don Diego, the new United States wants to strengthen relations with Spain 00:01:48

He becomes Spanish's first ambassador to the United States, helping build diplomatic and commercial ties between the two nations. 00:01:52

Sometimes you don't need to hold a weapon to change the course of a war. Sometimes support from afar is just as powerful. 00:02:01

And so, behind the famous generals and battles, Diego Bardocki becomes one of the quietest heroes of American independence. 00:02:08

History is not only made by those who fight, but also by those who help. 00:02:16

But the history of Diego Cardochi didn't end up here. 00:02:22

His work continued to influence the relationship between Spain and the United States. 00:02:26

Don Diego, American leaders are grateful for the help they received during the war. 00:02:31

I'm glad to hear that. Supporting them was a difficult decision, but sometimes difficult decisions change history. 00:02:36

Many people will remember the battles and generals, but few will remember the Americans who helped from far away. 00:02:44

That's true, but what matters most is that the colonies achieve their independence. 00:02:51

The new United States was now beginning its journey as an independent nation. 00:02:56

Trade between Spain and the United States is starting to grow. Both countries can benefit from cooperation. 00:03:02

Then, we must continue building a strong relationship between our nations. 00:03:08

Your work during the war and after it will not be forgotten. 00:03:14

Thanks to people like Diego Bardocki, the American Revolution was not only a story of soldiers, but also a story of international support. 00:03:17

Sometimes help arrives in unexpected ways. 00:03:25

And sometimes the greatest victories are achieved when people work together. 00:03:28

Today, historians recognize the importance of allies and supporters during the American Revolution. 00:03:34

Without supplies, weapons, and financial support, the war would have been much more difficult for the colonies. 00:03:40

the colonies. We fought for freedom, but we were not alone. And that is why Diego Gardoqui remains 00:03:46

an important figure in the history of the independence of the United States. 00:03:52
