• During the 1800’s, it was a period where numer-ous South American countries such as Argentina (1816), Brazil (1822), Bolivia (1822) and Chile (1810) declared independence against the Spaniards, which gave Spaniards hard time to keep all the colonies under their control!

• The Spanish, so far seems to have gained nothing. From their loss of Lousiana in 1803 to even Flor-ida on 1819.

• However…• The Spanish gained

west of Louisiana, Texas to California!

WHAT DID THE SPANISH GAIN?
