Ways of imposition of the “Democratic Memory”
A critical analysis reveals the historical distortion in Francis Drake's glorification, evidenced by a recent tweet erroneously proclaiming him as the "first commander" to circumnavigate the world. This narrative ignores previous circumnavigations by Juan Sebastián Elcano (1522) and García Jofre de Loaísa (1536). It also omits controversial aspects of Drake, such as his pirate activities, military failures, and involvement in the slave trade. This tendency to exaggerate British achievements while minimizing Spanish ones reflects national insecurity and reluctance to face historical realities objectively. It's crucial to approach these narratives with a critical eye for a more complete and nuanced understanding of naval history.
