Upon the return; of the Spanish Bourbons to power, and the attempt to re-establish royal authority over spanish-america, the colonies refused to return to the old order. Spain, king-ridden and poverty-stricken, could make no headway against rebellion. One after another of her colonies became independent, and established, at least in form, repub lican governments.
