I disagree with the fact that Spain took control of  the rights to rule Latin America, because there was people already living there. Each colonies had a leader in Latin America until the Spanish arrived. They had no rights to choose who their leader was, the Spanish set up colonies on their ideas so that they can supply resources to Spain and increase Spain's economy. They had horrible environment plantations, a lots of people were revolted. Latin America was finally free until Simon Bolivar who fought from them , took there independence back. Than he won the war which France helped him distract Spain. And was named a country after his honor.
