hola amigos de la historia bienvenidos a
una nueva sesión de un profesor yo soy
oscar y hoy voy a hablaros de las
consecuencias que tuvieron las guerras
de independencia hispanoamericanas como
bien sabéis a principios del siglo 19 en
todas las colonias sudamericanas de
españa hay unos procesos de
levantamientos y revoluciones que tienen
como consecuencia primordial la
abolición del colonialismo es decir la
creación de países independientes de
españa' en suramérica qué consecuencias
tuvieron ese seguido de revoluciones
pues vamos a verlas
un poquito más detalladas ahora mismo la
primera es la aparición como os he dicho
de naciones estado de lo que antes eran
colonias españolas pues ahora surgen
nuevas naciones de nuevo cuño de nueva
formación
es decir
las antiguas colonias de bien en países
soberanos auto gobernados y
autogestionados
por lo tanto el gobierno monárquico que
dependía de la de la metrópoli es
abolido y en su lugar en general se
instauran gobiernos militares pues eran
los propios militares los que habían
conseguido la independencia a través de
las armas y es de lógica que fueran
ellos mismos los que se postulasen para
gobernar los nuevos países eso una de
sus consecuencias fue pues muchas luchas
internas para conseguir el poder e
incluso guerras civiles
otra consecuencia es que ahí donde antes
mandaban los de la metrópolis ya fuese
desde la metrópolis o gente a la
metrópolis enviada a las colonias eran
los que tomaban las decisiones pues
ahora las clases altas nativas de las
colonias son las que se apoderan de los
recursos de los órganos de gobierno y
las que toman las riendas del nuevo país
cabe destacar también que la esclavitud
es abolida en la mayor parte de los
nuevos países
la nobleza los títulos nobiliarios
también son derogados y abolidos y para
finalizar el comercio se ve un poco
afectado ya que antes cuando dependían
de la metrópolis cuando dependían de
españa ésta podía ayudarlos y apoyarlos
en frente de otros mercados y ahora al
verse ellos solos pues tienen que hacer
frente a luchas económicas y
mercantilistas que antes no tenían así
que en principio con un poco de bajón en
cuanto al comercio pero poco a poco se
fue recuperando pescas pues serían las
consecuencias a nivel suramericano a
nivel de los nuevos países vayamos a ver
ahora las consecuencias que tuvo la
independencia de las colonias
hispanoamericanas para la metrópoli para
españa la primera y lógica es que españa
pierde territorio es decir antes
conseguía lo que es suramérica después
de la guerra y el grupo se ha perdido
todos esos territorios con la
consiguiente pérdida de fuente de
ingresos pues en cierto modo esas
colonias eran expoliadas por españa se
llevaban sus recursos y sus beneficios
para el metrópoli
lógicamente españa entra en una grave
crisis económica pues ha perdido esta
fuente de ingresos y estos territorios y
como colofón pues es el principio del
fin del imperio español bien es verdad
que toda la masa continental
suramericana se independiza pero algunas
islas y filipinas todavía quedan en
posesión del imperio español pero como
bien sabéis si esto lo pierden a
principios del 19 es a finales del 19
cuando definitivamente españa pierde ya
todas las posesiones de ultramar
filipinas cuba y demás así que
resumiendo hemos visto
las las consecuencias para las colonias
y las consecuencias para españa espero
que os haya parecido interesante y
