Ok so the answer would be Argentina right?
I'm sorry I snapped at you. This time I checked it out and found that Writeacher was wrong. That happens rarely.
Anyway, Paraguay got its independence in 1811, five years before Argentina. So Paraguay was the first independent nation of those four.

To determine the first South American nation to receive independence, we can approach this question by considering the historical context of the region.
First, let's eliminate Brazil and Paraguay from the options. Brazil gained independence from Portugal in 1822, while Paraguay gained independence from Spain in 1811. So, the answer should be either Chile or Argentina.
Now, between Chile and Argentina, the correct answer is Argentina. Argentina declared its independence from Spain on July 9, 1816, whereas Chile achieved its independence on February 12, 1818. Therefore, Argentina was the first South American nation to receive independence.
Remember, history can be complex, and it's always best to refer to trusted sources or consult experts to double-check information.
