During the war, France aided the American revolutionaries with ground troops commanded by Rochambeau and the Marquis de La Fayette and by fleets under the command of sailors such as Guichen, de Grasse, and d'Estaing. Spain, for its part, did it initially and clandestinely, from the spring and summer of 1776, thanks to Luis de Unzaga y Amézaga, then his brother-in-law Bernardo de Gálvez and openly from the battle of Saratoga, through the arms and supplies provided by the ships of the merchant Diego de Gardoqui, a relative of Governor Unzaga, and opening a front on the southern flank.
