I think their greatest failure was that we rekt them constantly at naval battle.

>>2998166
Same reason the Persians are. The English fleet and the weather that helped them wreck the Spanish Armada is what is seen as the turning point in military supremacy and influence on the world.

You do realize the Spanish still won naval victories over England even after their failed invasion right?

If Spain would joined the liberal wave LA wouldnt try to achive independence, but you know them, Manuel loves to be the macho men

This post is retarded. In fact you are retarded. Mexico declared independence precisely because Riego was too liberal.

Even if they didn't and just recognized colonial people as tr00 spanish subjects with the same rights as those born in the peninsula, they wouldve retained the empire.

LA countries got independence 'cause criollos (descendants from spanish colonizers) wanted all the money and power for themselves, and were butthurt because the Crown protected natives rights. The natives were against independence.

It's what's happening in Cataluña right now; the ones who want the independence aren't true Catalans; their parents are/were Andalucian businessmen who want the money for themselves.

Won only a war, lost all the Venetian Wars if that's what you call winning senpai.
