===Hispanic Catholic Monarchy===
The peoples, whatever their development, are sustained by their traditions, habits and customs. those who preceded us, in the Americas before the arrival of Spain, managed, thanks to this, to become a very important part of the Christian civilization, as firm guardians of its limits at the edge of the world. The first encounters, as always happened in history, had their altercations, but after getting to know each other, they built during three centuries an Hispanicamerican Empire of peace and prosperity. The indigenous peoples gained access to the improvement of sowing and cultivation, to water management, which is imperative to pass from the tribal state to the civilizing one.
They learned to write and to enrich their native languages. They enriched the Castilian languague by turning it into [[Spanish]], into a universal language. it was in the enveloping forge of those times that those peoples, freed from the most powerful tribes, chose to belong to that new way of seeing and feeling life, to the civilization of Jesus, "the good God", as the first indigenous people who freed themselves from the bloodthirsty despotism of the [[Aztecs]] and other tribes called him.
In those three centuries, the Spanish Catholic Monarchy, which was never called the Spanish Empire, because the faith unified in its diversities all the peoples that belonged to it, managed to maintain an impossible enterprise in a very long period of time, which can only be understood as a miracle germinated in a will of steel. The unity of these peoples by means of a Crown that represented a leap in their development and a spiritual elevation, fused in their souls the ''ethos'' and the ''tellus'', the being of their souls with their land, gave them the final meaning to their lives, consolidated the ''pathos'' that is the understanding with the other. If there is an aboriginal philosophy, it is an heir of Greece and Spain, which had integrated them into the world.
To be Spanish meant for them to understand what it means to be owners of their lands and builders of their destinies. One day, the mists of revolution intrude into that spiritual clarity that was in their lives, and with it they lose all their rights. From being owners of their lands they become permanent exiles, thus losing all dominion in the full sense of the word. They no longer have dominion over their lives. That is why the indigenous people of southern Chile said to [[Charles Darwin]] a few years after the secession of Hispanic America: "You see us as poor now, but it was not like that when we had our king".
That is the legacy of the "liberators": to have collaborated with little political awareness to a global and foreign strategy of domination over Hispanic America. Perhaps that is why Belgrano, Bolivar, San Martin and Aguinaldo expressed their regrets later.
In Asia they traded with the Spanish Currency, until the Empire disappeared and was replaced by the [[Pound|British Pound]] that took the Asian market and we with poverty disguised as freedom. Most of the Indians were loyal royalists, because they trusted more in their kingdom-to-kingdom pacts than in the promises of the criollos.<ref>Patricio Lons</ref><ref>Suereños a las Armas, 2019, Ángelo Guiñez Jarpa</ref>

The "Hispanic monarchy", ''rectius'' the "Catholic monarchy", as it was known, corresponds to Christendom.
Christianity, perhaps not to the greater Christianity of the so-called "media", but at least to another of smaller radius which, within a not so small world, wanted to continue to be a part of it. But at least to another of smaller radius that, in the bosom of a not so small world, wanted to continue the furrow of that one with the civilization of the Baroque.
It was, therefore, a reality of unequivocal political sign. it was broken, on both shores of the common nation, by the liberal revolution on the eastern side and on the western side - in addition - by the secession desired by England. those who opposed the first were called royalists and finally would be the Carlists. But the dynastic quarrel does not hide its moral and doctrinal entrails, which those who resisted the second did not always succeed in gauging. It was the success of the unholy enterprise that disjointed the cultural and political community.
Only time healed the wounds: thus emerged - as a substitute term - Hispanidad. which, excluding the political dimension, was based on deep religious, moral and cultural foundations. hence the so-called "patriots" continued to be the object of general worship. and also the "others", the creole realists, were forgotten. it is true that the Novogranadinian Luis Corsi Otálora, the Peruvian Fernán Altuve-Febres or the Rioplatean Manuel González have left us some valuable testimonies about them.<ref>Miguel Ayuso Torres (Madrid, 1961)</ref>
