These processes came about at different periods and world regions starting in the 17th century (Portugal).Independence waves[edit]Since its beginnings in the 16th century, the Spanish empire conquered new areas starting out from its Castilian core kingdom. In 1597, the Spanish (Castilian) crown lost the Netherlands (Holland). In 1640, Portugal split away after Philip II had incorporated it to its domains in 1581. A second independence tide came about following the Independence of the Thirteen Colonies in North America and the Battle of Trafalgar that heralded the end of the Spanish Atlantic hegemony. Venezuela (1811), under the influence of the Basque Enlightenment, sparked the independence movements of Central and Southern America, spearheaded by Simon Bolivar.[1][2]During the Spanish Restoration in the late 19th century, the last major colonies Cuba, Puerto Rico and Philippines detached from the metropolis with the support of the United States. Since the 1950s, Spain lost the last continental lands in Africa, Spanish protectorate in Morocco, Ifni, Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara.[2][1]NoCountryModern statePre-independence name(if different)Dateyearnote1\u00a0Dutch Republic\u00a0Netherlands Spanish Netherlands part of \u00a0Holy Roman Empire30 January1648Peace of M\u00fcnster[3]2 Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves\u00a0Portugal Iberian Union1 December1640Treaty of Lisbon3 Dutch Formosa\u00a0Taiwan Spanish Formosa?1642It was ceded to the Dutch Republic during the Eighty Years’ War.4\u00a0Sardinia\u00a0Sardinia part of \u00a0ItalyKingdom of Sardinia part of  Spanish Empire8 August1720Philip V’s viceroy handed Sardinia over to an Austrian representative, who in turn transferred it to the viceroy of Victor Amadeus5 Austrian Netherlands part of \u00a0Holy Roman Empire\u00a0Luxembourg Spanish Netherlands part of \u00a0Holy Roman Empire7 March1714Treaty of Rastatt6 Austrian Netherlands part of \u00a0Holy Roman Empire\u00a0Belgium Spanish Netherlands part of \u00a0Holy Roman Empire7 March1714Treaty of Rastatt7  Kingdom of Naples (Ruled by the Austrian monarchy) Kingdom of Naples (Spanish viceroyalty) Spanish Empire7 March1714Treaty of Rastatt8 Saint-Domingue\u00a0Haiti Captaincy General of Santo Domingo?1795Peace of Basel, ceded eastern portion to France921 March1801Treaty of Aranjuez10 Republic of West FloridaSeptember 261810officially the State of Florida, was a short-lived republic in the western region of Spanish West Florida in 1810.
