Political independence contributed to the political turmoil of Latin America after the wars.

After gaining independence in 1821, Mexico was left in a poor state due to decline in agricultural, mining and industrial production during the war.

From the 16th century through 1821, Central America formed the Kingdom of Guatemala, composed by a part of the state of Chiapas (nowadays part of Mexico), Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Central American states declared independence from Mexico in 1823 and Arce became the first president.

The first permanent settlement on the territory of present-day Uruguay was founded by Spanish Jesuits in 1624 at Villa Soriano on the Río Negro, where they tried to establish a Misiones Orientales system for the Charrúas. In 1726 the Spanish took Uruguay founded Montevideo. In 1776 Uruguay became part of the vie-royalty of La Plata. In 1811 the people of Uruguay rebelled against Spanish rule led by Jose Gervasio Artigas. However in 1821 Brazil annexed Uruguay. However Uruguay finally became independent in 1828. Uruguay gained a constitution in 1830.
