I don't think Spain had the right to control South America because they were already in control of themselves and they didn't need anymore people to tell them what to do. The land isn't even theirs and they think they can control the countries in South America because they have a strong army. After Spain lost the war, South America had more power because many leaders were taking charge and they were driving away the Spanish.
