American War of Independence
Colonial Country, one of our colonial subjects, has declared war upon us. They reject our authority and proclaim their intent to break free from our rule. The shock of betrayal stings deeply, but now is not the time for grief. We must rally our forces and do everything in our power to bring the colonies back under our rightful rule.

13313historical_info = flavor_cas.2605.historical_info The American Spanish Wars of Independence was a series of conflicts with various catalysts, be it the harsh reforms adopted by the Bourbon dynasty, or the impacts of the Peninsular War waged by Napoleon. Colonial elites and native populations, previously loyal, were disillusioned by Spain's instability and were able to rally almost everyone to their cause. The result was the almost total disintegration of the Spanish colonial rule in the Americas in the span of a few decades.
