Abstract
En the root of American independence was a crisis of an imperial nature which caused a shock to all territorial components, including Spain, in a single process, so that the break between the two sides of the Atlantic was only a consequence of an event that was more of a time. The present text argues that, during the process of emancipation, the power relations between the various components of American society changed to the point of making it difficult to reorganise within the new constitutional models. In this sense, we should talk about an “legacy of the imperial crisis”, the end of a world and not just a part of it (the American one), to the point of making the comparative approximation implicit in the concept of “Atlantic revolutions” impossible.
