Uruguay
Brazil started as a colony of Portugal. The Treaty of Tordesillas divided the South American continent between Spain and Portugal, with Spain getting the western threequarters. However, Brazil expanded westwards and took large areas that should have been Spain's. The Spanish and the Portuguese empires in South America collapsed after independence movements in the early to middle 19th centuries, and the countries that we now know there gradually emerged.
The Cuban War of Independence and the Philippine Revolution lead them to their independence from Spain in 1898. The Indochina wars freed Vietnam from France, and Laos, Cambodia won their independence in 1954 as well. Portugal held on to Brazil until they recognized their independence in August 1825.

The South American country of Uruguay has the distinction of being a possession of Portugal, Spain and Brazil. The region of Uruguay was first explored by Portuguese explorers in 1512-1513. Spanish explorers would arrive soon afterwards in 1516. The Spanish and Portuguese would clash over the area until it gained independence from Spain in 1814. In 1821 it was invaded by the Portuguese and annex as part of Brazil. Once Brazil split off from Portugal, Uruguay went with it and was part of the Brazilian Empire until 1828 when it re-gained its independence.
Spain and Portugal held the largest territories in the Americas during the Age of Exploration.

By 1830, several European nations had established colonies in Latin America, primarily Spain and Portugal, which were the dominant colonial powers. Spain controlled most of the region, while Portugal held Brazil. Other nations, such as Britain and France, had smaller territories and interests in the region but did not have significant colonies compared to Spain and Portugal. As a result, the primary colonial presence in Latin America at that time was largely Spanish and Portuguese.
