Summary
Perhaps no period in Latin American history better exemplifies the word “transition” than the first seven decades of the nineteenth century. In 1800 the region was largely controlled by the Spanish and Portuguese empires, and seventy years later, it mostly consisted of independent nation-states, with the notable exceptions of Cuba and Puerto Rico.
