South American Wars of Liberation 1810 - 1825
Posted 23 Jan 2008
During the period 1810 - 1824, the Spanish colonies were wracked by revolution. By 1824 Mexico and all the South American Colonies were independent. The Portuguese had their own problems and Brazil was independent by 1825.
This period appeals to me for several reasons it marks the decline of the Spanish Empire, has Napoleonic uniforms but is outside Europe, and featured small battles.
