I'm writing a timeline which focuses on an alternative European Order. So, being an ignorant in Latin American matters, I don't quite know what to do there.
Can Spain, with a POD as early as 1815, keep power in some shape or form in America?
The options are:
A) Spain keeps all of them in a dominion-like status;
B) Spain manages to keep New Spain and Peru for some more time while giving independence to the other territories.
How is this manageable?
1815? too late men
La Plata (Argentina+Uruguay) was independent and trying to expand their Frontiers into Paraguay and "liberate" Alto Peru(Bolivia) as early as 1812
Chile, the 09 of October of 1814, was Reconquered By spanish Forces, but the Independence forces where preparing a expedition against the Spanish Troops with support from La Plata, Plus the Spanish Government Brutal restore order, make them lost all support from the Chilean society, to the point they in as completely in war against the Spanish Forces by 12 February of 1817, with total Independence of Chile in 1818
Paraguay was de facto independent since 1800 and their independence war was against be Absorbed by La Plata
Colombia was independent an Warring a "liberation war" for Venezuela and Ecuador in 1815, Was Reconquered in 1816, but again the brutal repression by the Spanish government send most of the Colombian firmly to the Independence camp.
Peru was being attacked in 1820 By the Argentinean-Chilean(mostly Chilean) "liberation expedition" and was completly independent by 1821, after the Gran Colombia and Bolivar intervention.
Ecuador Was being liberated in 1820, by Gran Colombia Forces and with a total control of the coast region by the Independentist by the end of 1820.

Only Bolivia is still firmly Royalist, but is a island surrounded by Independent countries, in fact you could argue Bolivia Lost all the war were they fight, even their independence war as they Don´t want to be independent
Now if you Try you POD in 1800 with some form of dominion-Like Status o even Earlier with the Bourbon Reforms, this become Viable, but the Bourbon Reforms was one of the causes of increase resentment of the Criollo (america born Spanish), Against the peninsulares in general and the King in particular
