How many nations had colonies in Latin America in 1830?

By 1830, several European nations had established colonies in Latin America, primarily Spain and Portugal, which were the dominant colonial powers. Spain controlled most of the region, while Portugal held Brazil. Other nations, such as Britain and France, had smaller territories and interests in the region but did not have significant colonies compared to Spain and Portugal. As a result, the primary colonial presence in Latin America at that time was largely Spanish and Portuguese.
