the Crown controlled the administration, there was de facto independence.

JOHN  LYNCH:  THE HISPANIC AMERICAN REVOLUTION

The independence of Latin America occurred at the beginning of the 19th century, when the Americans began to feel their own identity and to break ties with Spain.

The reforms that Spain had implemented at the end of the 18th century (Bourbonic Reforms) aimed at deepening her imperialism, but on the contrary, they accelerated America's rebellion.

At the end of the 17th century, Latin America had emancipated itself from its first dependency on Spain, based on the extraction of metals (gold and silver), moving to a new dependency, centered on agriculture and livestock. But in reality, at the beginning of the 18th century, although there was a formal dependency, because

the Crown controlled the administration, there was de facto independence.

But a century later, the Bourbon Reforms aimed to break that degree of independence. That was the policy of King Carlos III, who ruled between 1759-88

The government was centralized, the administration reformed, agriculture increased its output and industry its production, growing overseas trade. The objectives of this was to stop the independence attempts of the Creoles, and secondly to stop the advance of England and Portugal.

After a century of inertia, Spain once again took America into her hands, creating new viceroyalties, intendancies, etc. In that century of inertia, the Crown wanted to govern America without expense, the bureaucrats wanted good pay, the merchants wanted to export, the peasants wanted to be left alone, but they were exploited. Thus, the Indians were forced to produce and consume, the bureaucrats received their income, the merchants obtained agricultural products to export and the Crown saved money from wages. But in this way the bureaucracy gained independence. The distribution system (forced indebtedness of the Indians) provoked the rebellion of Tupac Amaru, in 1780.

This was abolished at the end of the 18th century and the payment of officials was introduced, the Indians were guaranteed the right to trade freely. Landowners and financiers saw their use of labor limited. The Crown interposed its sovereignty between private enterprise and the Indian sector.

But the policy of the Bourbons was sabotaged in the colonies by the ruling classes, who attacked the liberal legislation, seeking to control at hand

of indigenous work.

The Bourbons had also attacked the excessive independence of the Church in America, which had great power.
