Which two countries dominated Latin America at the beginning of the 19th century?

By 1800, Latin America was dominated by Spain and Portugal. This was due to the fact that the Spaniards discovered this region at the end of the 15th century (the Caribbean) and were actively exploring it already in the 16th century. The Portuguese began to establish colonies in Brazil in the middle of the 16th century, and discovered it by accident in 1500. As a result, almost all territories on the continent were Spanish, except for Brazil (Portuguese), and modern Guyana and Suriname (British and Dutch colonies).
