''Blood tables: it is a holy action to kill Rosas'' ((スペイン語:Tablas de Sangre: es acción santa matar a Rosas)) is an 1843 Argentine libelle written by José Rivera Indarte against the governor of Buenos Aires, Juan Manuel de Rosas. It details 465 purported crimes committed by Rosas or the Popular Restoring Society; later editions increased the number by 22,560. The book was used as a primary source by the early historiography of Juan Manuel de Rosas; modern historians consider its figures to be inflated.〔 * 〕 ==Context== The book was written during the Argentine Civil Wars between federals who wanted to organize the country as a federation, and unitarians who preferred a centralist country with the capital in Buenos Aires. Unitarian Juan Lavalle made a coup against the governor Manuel Dorrego and executed him, but the federal counteroffensive led by Juan Manuel de Rosas deposed him from power, and most unitarians escaped to Montevideo, Uruguay. From that country they plotted new attacks. They allied with the Colorados, who deposed the Uruguayan president Manuel Oribe; Oribe and the Blancos allied with the Argentine federals. Rosas was appointed governor of the Buenos Aires province by the provincial legislature, and managed the international relations of the country. France imposed the French blockade of the Río de la Plata in support of the War of the Confederation, and the Unitarians allied with the French. Lavalle launched a new ill-fated invasion of Argentina, and the French gave up the blockade.〔Smith, pp. 555–556.〕 José Rivera Indarte was one of the unitarians living in Montevideo. He was once a federal and a member of the Popular Restoring Society, and wrote the "Anthem of the Restorers" and the "Federal Anthem", which were highly eulogistic of Rosas.〔Smith, pp. 558–559.〕 Indarte was expelled from the university of Buenos Aires for swindling and forging documents and moved to Montevideo, joining the unitarians.〔Smith, pp. 564–567.〕〔Rosa, p. 82.〕 The ''Atlas'' of London detailed on March 1, 1845, that the Lafone house paid Indarte a penny for each death attributed to Rosas. The initial edition allowed Indarte to receive two pounds sterling. He published a new edition, increasing the deaths attributed to Rosas with 22,560 deaths and possible deaths that took place in battles since 1829.〔 The Lafone house, led by Samuel Lafone, owned the wealth of the foreign trade of Montevideo up to 1848, and would benefit greatly from a naval blockade of Buenos Aires, even if short-lived. Indarte's libel generated huge controversy in Europe, leading to the Anglo-French blockade of the Río de la Plata.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blood tables」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
