The Ibero-American independences have provoked important historiographi- cal debates that have shown the impor- tance of the revolutionary transforma- tions that took place between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. The idea is to show that, in the 1820s, the revolutionary ele- ments of nineteenth-century liberalism that formed the independent republics were implemented in almost all the Ibe- ro-American territories. Thus, I am based on the concept of revolution to de- fine the processes of independence in Ibero-America, highlighting that this oc- curred from the assumptions of liberal- ism. In this way, this reflection allows us to broaden our perspective and obtain a generalization about the processes of in- dependence. With this, I show that the result of the processes of independence cannot be limited to the adoption of the republic as a form of government. The analysis, necessarily historical, must transcend towards the global under- standing of these phenomena.
