latin american revolutions

I'm bouncing around some ideas for a TL and looking to avoid the AH cliche of South America being identical to OTL, so I was wondering how plausible some more Spanish success in the LatAm Independence Wars would be with some of the changes I've made so far. Relevant to South America is that the...

How could Spain have maintained Latin America under its empire until the decolonization era? In OTL the Peninsular War sparked the independence movements, so avoiding it would be obvious, but then what? Would the Spanish Empire need some reforms? How would Spain deal with the US and its...

Following the collapse of Spanish authority in its American colonies thanks to the Peninsular War, an attempt was made in the Viceroyalty of New Spain to create an autonomous junta presided by the imcumbent viceroy, José de Iturrigaray. Unfortunately, while this plan was supported by the local...

So as a commemoration of Colombian independence day I am doing a more general south american what if, so Manuel Piar was a revolutionary general in Venezuela who was very close to Bolivar, but something lesser known is that for some time he was believed to be the secret son of a Braganza Prince...

So let's say in an Alternate Timeline Jose de San Martin, Simón Bolivar Agustin de Iturbide and Miguel Hidalgo and don't rise to power, perhaps they die of they don't stand out enough, what are other options for liberators of South America? As far I understand for places like the area of New...

Skirmishes involving Americans in Florida began to eat up in the 1810-1812 time frame historically. Suppose these had resulted in war instead of the OTL War of 1812? Would this impact U.S. relations with Latin American countries then struggling themselves for independence? Might the U.S. be able...

So, assume that Spain after Napoleon's departure manages to maintain control over most of its Latin American colonies, through a succession of factors such as José de San Martin's Army of the Andes failing to liberate Chile, Simon Bolivar either being crushed early or confined to Venezuela, and...

So suppose, for the sake of argument, that the years following the overthrow of Batista (so 1959-62) see a very different outcome from OTL* - one where Cuba doesn’t trend toward a single-Party communist dictatorship, see massive escalating tensions with the US, or court the Soviet Union...

Maoism was a major ideological break with doctrinaire Marxism-Leninism, but also seems inevitable in the sense that an anti-colonial communist was likely to orient a movement around rural peasants instead of industrial workers at some point. An alt-Maoism wouldn't be influenced by Chinese...

IOTL, one example of far-left resistance to the Brazilian military junta regime (1964-85) in the midst of the Cold War was the Araguaia Guerrilla, waged by the Brazilian Communist Party in parts of the modern states of Pará and Tocantins. The guerrilla was estabilished in a region the rebels...
