Guerra de Independencia

The Guerra de Independencia, or War of Independence, refers to the conflict through which a nation sought to free itself from colonial rule. A notable example is the Spanish-American War of Independence (1808-1826), where several Latin American countries fought against Spanish colonial authority. It involved various revolutions and battles as leaders like Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín rallied support for independence. The war resulted in the establishment of numerous independent nations in Latin America, significantly altering the political landscape and leading to the decline of Spanish dominance in the region.
