The Patria Grande (Spanish: Great nation) is a loose political idea of Latin American integration, that rejects the balkanization that followed the Latin American Wars of Independence and envisions a united continent instead. The term may be also used to talk specifically about projects of South American unity held by Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín. The name "Patria Grande" was first coined by the Argentine Manuel Ugarte, in his 1922 book "la Patria Grande".
