2. ^ The Argentine participation in the independence of Mexico occurred on one occasion, during the privateer cruise La Argentina, when this ship attacked the coast of California in 1818.
3. ^ In this section of "combatant 1" appear the independent governments that managed to consolidate at the end of the war. Later, some of these governments disintegrated, as happened with Gran Colombia (Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela) or the First Mexican Empire (Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua). Panama and Uruguay would be formed because of other conflicts.
