About Forgotten Countries of the Southern Cone | South America

South America, is the world’s fourth-largest continent. It’s history spans 14,000-15,000 years, likely beginning when people first crossed the Bering Land Bridge. As might be expected, many countries have come and gone during this period of time. Some of which left their mark, while others have been largely forgotten. This was true as well during the 19th century, a time of change that saw the old Spanish Empire give way to new countries following the May Revolution and Congress of Tucumán. Following this, in 1816, the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata (aka the United Provinces of South America) declared independence. It was not alone: from an unrecognized kingdom at the continent’s southernmost tip (the Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia) to a republican uprising centered in Rio Grande do Sul (the Riograndense Republic) and the last days of a mysterious outpost (Rapa Nui) in an isolated corner of the Pacific.
