    Brazil is wrong even if you accept the high-school level reasoning that Don Pedro I was solely responsible for the independence, considering he himself was Portuguese (and would later die as King of Portugal IN PORTUGAL). Brazil was made independent by an Austrian, **Maria Leopoldina of Austria**, more commonly known as Empress Leopoldina. She signed the independence

  4. This is wrong, Brazil got independent because Dom Pedro I of Brazil/Dom Pedro IV of Portugal
    To be fair tho, he lived on Brazil from his childhood to the early 30s

  5. Pedro I was born Portuguese, lived his first 10 years in Portugal and the next 14 in the Portuguese court in Rio. He eventually abdicated in favor of his son and went on to rule as King of Portugal afterwards.

    Brazil was declared independent by a Portuguese man by any reasonable standard.

    Uruguay is probably more Artigas, not Ponsonby, considering Artigas actually fought for the independence and Ponsonby was merely there at the end to negotiate the diplomatic treaty

  7. If you call independence some Venezuelan guy sacking and looting your country then… Sure I guess you’re right.

  9. To be fair, bolivia wasn’t made independent by a Venezuelan. In fact, most of the territory was originally made independent by Argentinians, like Warnes. For example (Argentinian efforts in the region lasted rom 1811 to 1816 more or less), once they lost to the Spaniards and the territory fell, the fight Argentina started was carried out by the locals as guerilla warfare for around a decade (for instance Mercado picking up where Warnes left and continuing to fight Aguilera to take back Santa Cruz until 1825), and finally in 1825 when Bolivar (Venezuelan) won in Peru, he sent his general Sucre, to sweap the remaining Spaniards in the territory, although he only fought a few battles to make it independent. The country after adopted bolivars name due to his ego and political strength, but he didn’t free it, it is widely thought that even without Venezuelan help the territory would have become independent even if a few months or even a year later, seeing as most of the hard work was already done, but Bolivar had to control the region to take influence away from Argentina and try to establish the “Gran Colombia” which in Bolivar’s mind would expand from Argentina to Mexico, but that never happened, so the map is not entirely accurate, seeing as it was a joint effort of Argentines, locals, and at the end Venezuelans

    You’re welcome, Uruguay. And also Argentina for allowing you to remain independent after 1982.
