Why is that the territory colonized by Portugal remains 1 country, and the territory colonized by Spain are now 17 different countries? Theories?

It has to do with territorial organization.
Brazil was very centralized and united even with Portugal, to the point that the Portuguese monarchy fled to Brazil to escape Napoleon's conquest.

Hispanic America was always divided into pretty much autonomous Virreinos, Capitanias Generales, each which gained its independence at different times.

Basically what happened with Belize desu.
We gave the bongs a small sliver of land so they could chop down mahogany and like the perfidious cockroaches they are, they spread south and westward until they nearly cucked us from a caribbean coast.

The Spaniards didn't give a shit because it was completely unpopulated territory.
>>
>>53110228
Most of the western territories were pretty much vacant until Marshall Rondon's expeditions and economic incentives during the 20th century, it is really easy to hold your territorial claims when there's no other party to contest it.
Major secessionist movements were successfully crushed during the imperial regime.

Yugoslavia was a federation with each state supposedly having equal amounts of power, like Gran Colombia (and like Gran Colombia all of the power stayed in the capital with the ruling class)
Austro-Hungary was an Empire that didn't pretend to give the constituent nations any power.

Unless I'm misinterpretating your post, I'm pretty sure that Portugal got fucked over and the royal family had to flee that country back in 1808, during the Napoleonic Wars. In fact, you could say that it catalyzed the independence movement in Brazil.

The issue was mainly about who'd rule the whole country. Most of the military officers were from the capitancy of Venezuela and they were huge Bolivarboos.

Bolivar wanted to install a dictatorship and it was hinted that he wanted to become a king (Napoleon was fresh back then) and there existed in Colombia a pro-civilian political current bigger than those in Venezuela and Ecuador (who was heavily clerical compared to Colombia and Venezuela)

Some of those civilists who opposed Bolivar tried to kill him unsuccesfully, rendering unto themselves the wrath of the venezuelan officers. There were some executions and some of what was needed to part ways from each other.

Also, the Great Colombia was already fragmented (GEOGRAPHY, M8... it could take weeks to dispatch something from the capital to the busiest port) and there was a lame political cohesion since the beginning.

We would just send the navy. We could have made coastal settlements then expand from there. But as I said before, Brazil never wanted this, and it would have to really really want to, because the costs would be high at the time.

Territorial organization and personal gain. Most vice-royalties had the proper claims to their countries, not to mention that a centralized government over such a mountainous and expansive territory would be complicated. In modern day however, It would actually make sense for a unified latin-american state to exist with the ease of communication and travel, we're a lot closer culturally as separated countries than some nations are, but pointless revanchism would never allow that to happen.

There were many attempts for the establishment of some sort of a relatively loose, political or economical alliance between the Latin American countries, MERCOSUR being arguably the most successful.

The viceroy's of of New Spain and Peru split their territories into Viceroyalty "kingdoms". Portugal had only one viceroy Representative. Brazil was kept intact only because of Pedro the I crushing most of his rivals Cisplatina riots for indepdents, bahia riots for indepedence, etc.
