How did the Latin America's colonization by Iberia lead to the formation of the region's modern states?

What will be an ideal response?


Following the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494, Latin America was divided between Spain and Portugal. Between 1810 and 1826 many Spanish colonies achieved their independence; initially, these were organized into two viceroyalties. Gradually, these two political divisions disintegrated, to be replaced by 16 independent modern states. Brazil gradually emerged as a modern state during the 19th century.
