BP: The majority of countries in South America were Spanish colonies apart from Brazil which was a Portuguese colony. The countries inhabitants were inspired by the French and American revolutions and the fights for independence range from 1806 to roughly 1826

Venezuela declared its independence from the Spanish colonies on 5th July, 1811, but actual independence came almost a decade later, when Simon Bolivar and his forces scored a comprehensive defeat over Spanish forces on June 24.

The official independence of Argentina was declared on July 9th, 1816, when an independent congress met and made the formal declaration.

Bolivia earned independence on August 6, 1822, and country was named Bolivia after Simon Bolivar, the South American hero of the independence war.

Chile declared its independence on 1810, but it came officially the next year, and is celebrated on the 8th of September.

In Ecuador, the celebrated day is August 10, 1809, which was the day of the firs South American mass uprising against the Spanish. The country gained independence in 1822, on the 24th of May.

Colombia celebrates its independence on two days, the 20th of July, the day when independence was declared, and 7th August, on the date when the last battle against the Spanish ended successfully in1819.

Brazil got its independence on September 7, 1822. Paraguay became independent on May 15th, 1811. Peru got its independence on July 28th, 1821, and Uruguay on August 25, 1825.

KH: South America took a long time to gain independence of its European rulers. The first step for that was that citizens and slaves were tired of the harsh rules, so they rebelled. Simon Bolivar was a creole that admired the French and American Revolution. He thought it was time for a revolution in South America. The following rebellions against the Venezuelan government were not very successful and the revolutionaries suffered many set backs. Civil war stressed the people of Venezuela for a long time. Napoleon gave the people of South America new hope because he showed that a new ruler did not have to have a royal background. In the end, several revolutions worked out and new rulers started new republicans all over South America.
