Answer:
The revolutions in Latin America in the 19th century resulted in the independence of many Spanish colonies in the continent.
Explanation:
The Latin American revolutions or wars of independence took place in the period between 1809 and 1825 and were directed against the colonial power of Spain. The South American colonies of Spain were then divided into three viceroyalty kingdoms (Viceroyalty of New Granada, Viceroyalty of Peru and Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata). The wars of independence ended with the independence of almost all the states of South America, namely Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. In 1822, the Portuguese colony of Brazil, as a newly formed sovereign empire, achieved a peaceful, but only apparent independence, which was forced by Peter I, who renounced the Portuguese throne. After 1825, only British Guiana, Dutch Guiana and French Guiana remained as European colonies.
