First sentence: For more than a century - from the Napoleonic Wars and, more especially, from the dramatic events of 1807-8 in the Iberian Peninsula which eventually led to the breakup of the American empires of both Spain and Portugal - Britain was the dominant external actor in the economic and, to a lesser extent, the political affairs of Latin America.
