How Spain could have lost America?

Hi everyone. I have a question for you all. I have read recently that one of the great successes of Pilip was to get hold Spanish America so I wonder: Spain was really close of losing the Americas during the revolts of the Pizarro brothers, with the Corte´s son or even with Lope de Aguirre? Some European power might actually have expelled the Spanish from bases in Mexico?
What I mean is during the reigns of Charles and Philip there was really serious threats to the Spanish domination of America?

Sorry, wrong forum. Could anyone take this thread to before 1900?
