Abstract
This article analyses how the war between Spain and the republics of Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia, mainly between 1865 and 1866, gave rise to the forging of a Hispanist mythology, which was sustained by the heroic cult of the Spanish sailors who had been part of the Pacific Squadron. The mobilization of rhetorical and ceremonial resources by various civil, ecclesiastical, associative, and business corporations helps demonstrate the importance of navalism and imperialism in the nationalizing policies of Elizabethan Spain.
