Definición

  • Military bases have been an enduring feature of the American West, beginning with Spain's establishment of presidios (from the Latin presidium, meaning a garrisoned town or fortress) in the Southwest and along the California coast during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Presidios protected settlers from marauding natives and guarded the imperial frontiers against foreign incursions. [Source: Encyclopedia of Politics of the American West; Military Bases]
