Years: 1804 - 1815
Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808, the capture of the Spanish king, Ferdinand VII (ruled 1808, 1814-33), and Napoleon's attempt to put his brother, Joseph Bonaparte, on the Spanish throne, severs the major remaining links between metropolis and satellite.
Joseph has no constituency in Spanish America.
Without a king, the entire colonial system loses its legitimacy, and the colonists revolt.
The Buenos Aires cabildo, buoyed by their recent victory over British troops, deposes the Spanish viceroy on May 25, 1810, vowing to rule in the name of Ferdinand VII.
The porteño action has unforeseen consequences for the histories of Argentina and Paraguay.
