Spain
France
Portugal

Answer
Belgrano sought greater autonomy from Spain because he felt that the country was being mistreated by the Spanish government. He believed that the Spanish were not giving Argentina the same rights as other Spanish colonies, and that they were taking advantage of Argentina's resources. Belgrano also believed that Argentina was capable of governing itself, and that it did not need to be ruled by Spain.
