The aim of this book is to offer a comprehensive approach to the history of the South American republics since the South American histories written before were mostly treating of special periods, and few authorities existed for post-revolution times. One of the main questions he tried to answer was why there were so many revolutions in South American countries. Constitutional traditions, inherited from Spain and Portugal, implanted a tendency toward disintegration; Spanish and Portuguese tyranny bred in the people a distrust of all rulers and governments; the war of independence brought to the front military adventurers; civil disorders were inevitable, and the search for forms of government that should be final and stable has been very painful. On the other hand, the generous impulse that prompted the movement toward independence has grown into an earnest desire for ordered liberty, which was steadily spreading among all classes, resulting in a slow evolution toward republicanism._x000D_ Volume 1:_x000D_ Argentina:_x000D_ The Argentine Land_x000D_ The Spanish Colonial System_x000D_ Completion of the War of Independence_x000D_ The Era of Civil Wars_x000D_ The Modern Argentine_x000D_ Paraguay:_x000D_ Paraguay Until 1632_x000D_ The Jesuit Republic and Colonial Paraguay_x000D_ The War_x000D_ Uruguay:_x000D_ Portuguese Aggressions and the Settlement of the Country_x000D_ The Revolution_x000D_ Independence and Civil War_x000D_ Brazil:_x000D_ Discovery_x000D_ Early Colonization_x000D_ Independence_x000D_ Events of 1849 to 1864_x000D_ Republicanism and Emancipation_x000D_ Volume 2:_x000D_ Peru:_x000D_ The Inca Empire_x000D_ The Spanish Conquest_x000D_ The Wars of Independence_x000D_ Chile:_x000D_ The Spanish Conquest_x000D_ The Colonial Period_x000D_ The War of Independence_x000D_ The Formative Period_x000D_ Bolivia:_x000D_ The Conquest and the Mines_x000D_ The War of Independence_x000D_ Bolivia Independent_x000D_ Ecuador:_x000D_ The Spanish Conquest_x000D_ The War of Independence_x000D_ The Formation of Ecuador_x000D_ Modern Ecuador_x000D_ Venezuela:_x000D_ Conquest, Settlement, and Colonial Days_x000D_ The Revolt_x000D_ Modern Venezuela_x000D_ Colombia:_x000D_ Conquest and Settlement_x000D_ Colonial Times_x000D_ The War against Spain_x000D_ Modern Colombia_x000D_ Panama:_x000D_ The Events Leading to Independence
