Reconquista (Spanish America) - Hispanic America, Spanish American wars of independence, Peninsular War

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In colonial Spanish America, the Reconquista refers to the period following the defeat of Napoleon in 1814 during which royalist armies were able to gain the upper hand in the Spanish American wars of independence. The term makes an analogy to the medieval Reconquista, in which Christian forces retook the Iberian Peninsula. During Napoleon's invasion of the Iberian peninsula, a number of Spanish colonies in the Americas moved for greater autonomy or outright independence due to the political instability in Spain.
