Have it so Lott took the 61 presidency over Quadros, which would mean no military coup and, possibly, a military reform to cut down the political clout of the armed forces that still haunts my country to this day
Forced the Cadiz courts to allow free trade in the Americas with a little restriction for trade with Europe in order to keep cohesion in the kingdom of Spain. The Cadiz courts were more interested in legalist and romantic BS than in making the things to run.
Made Spain to banish the house of Bourbon.
Prosecuted the pro independence elite who insisted on independence in the name of freedom of trade.
Eliminate the useless Spanish monarchy and separate church from state and banning the Spanish Inquisition, reform the Spanish Empire into the Spanish Republic with representatives of all Spanish speaking countries.
Spain and Latin America would have the resources and ability to defend their land more efficiently. New Spain would had remain its historic large land that encompass 3/4 of the modern USA and western Canada; even Alaska would had been ours. Have troops defend Louisiana territory from the French, denying the Gringos land expansion; Denying Florida to them too. Napoleon invasion would had been halted in Spain and possibly establishing a stronger alliance with Britain and a joint justice tribunal against Napoleon.
Renamed Caribbean Sea to something voted amongst us Spanish speaking people. Make a confederation pact with Portuguese speaking countries to the Trans-Iberian American Union; an economic, military alliance and commonwealth that could had made our region economically stronger and watch the U.S. become a weaker power who ultimately either return to mother Britain or gets Annex to our republic- same with Canada. Thus returning North America back to its original Iberian owners stated by the Pope during the 16th century.
Us Latinos would truly be called Spanish Americans for those who live in the new world, much like Iberian called themselves European; but having pride in our own independent states identity.
Perón chose his wife, Isabel, as his successor for the presidency — a decision that proved disastrous. Isabel Perón is widely regarded as one of the worst democratically elected presidents in Argentine history. Her administration played a significant role in the erosion of Argentina’s fragile democracy during the 1970s.
While a military coup may have been inevitable given the political climate and the lack of a deeply rooted democratic culture at the time, it’s likely that a different leadership could have led to a less violent and less aggressively neoliberal outcome.
I would avoid the assassination of Jorge Eliecer Gaitán. It probably would not have stopped the political violence, but probably it would not have been as catastrophic as it was.
Too many of the obvious turning points were kind of canon events
The Civil War of 1830: this gave rise to the Authoritarian Republic that had Portales come to power. Just convince the Liberals to reform their Constitution to give themselves emergency powers and instate public order and suppress the opposition… congratulations, you have created the Authoritarian Republic, this one’s a stable time loop
The Civil War of 1891: convince the previous President to go easy with the electoral fraud, maybe? This one might have been avoidable, there was an ongoing political crisis that could have been averted
The 1925 soft coup: no way of making people not be sick of the Parliamentary system by then
The 1973 coup: most of the armed forces were radicalized against communism since before Allende came to power, there were too many internal and external factors driving the fall of Allende, not a singular event
Warn the presidents of the 1950s and 1960s not to give a single inch of power to leftists, purge the country of them. It would be authoritarian but leftists are even more authoritarian.
1-Dont invite the americans to settle in what was our north and invite the euros instead
2-Make Porfirio Diaz respect his word of no reelection and have a democratic transition of power evading like 40 years of dictatorships and 20 years of constant war
Never had slavery or finished it way earlier than when it actually ended. Give the former slaves fully civil rights and lands in another parts of the country. Planned a strategical settlement of the West part of the country. For the last, I’d promote intensive Japanese, Italian and German colonies all over the country.

Don’t let the gringos settle Texas.

2 things that would be interesting to see
If the 1964 coup didn’t happen
If the monarchy wasn’t abolish too would be interesting to see
I would make Sandino never betrayed by somoza
Prevent the dissolution of the Federal Republic of Central America.
Don’t repeat the mistakes that made us lose the Mexican American War. Have a better strategy so that we can keep California and Texas.
Having Boyer become president, accepting Frances debt and ruining relations with the future Dominican Republic.
He ruined the nation.
El triunfo de la revolución en 1959
The states independence wars. All states would be better today if they had separated as each their own country.
I would have:

Keep San Martin and Bolivar from entering Peruvian territory.

Outlaw slavery in 1824, so the country would be forced to industrialize sooner and the agricultural elites wouldn’t be so politically strong.
The 1930 coup. The beginning of the downfall of Argentina.
I would make Alan Garcia ugly as fuck.
An ugly Garcia wouldn’t have won the election.
No Garcia means no 100000000% inflation.
No inflation means no discontent in the highlands.
No discontent makes the terrorist groups weaker.
No terrorist groups makes the far right weaker.
Peru becomes the next super power in the galaxy.
Profit.

I would ban Protestant bibles from the western part of the island in the early 17th century.

Kill Hernán Cortés as soon as he sets foot on Mexican soil. I’d be waiting for him in Cozumel, ready to fuck his shit up.
