Spain lost its power in the Western Hemisphere primarily to the emerging nations of Latin America during the early 19th century. A series of independence movements, influenced by Enlightenment ideas and revolutions in the United States and France, led to the liberation of countries such as Mexico, Argentina, and Chile. Additionally, the United States asserted its influence through policies like the Monroe Doctrine, further diminishing Spain's control in the region. By the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, Spain ceded its remaining territories in the Americas, marking a significant decline in its power.
