Detailed explanation-1: -The Spread of Revolution. The Latin American Wars of Independence, which took place during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, were deeply influenced by the American and French Revolutions and resulted in the creation of a number of independent countries in Latin America.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the American Colonies, the colonists rebelled and fought for their independence from Great Britain. In France, the people rose up against the monarchy, and in Latin America the people sought independence from Spanish/Portuguese colonial control.
Detailed explanation-3: -Early struggles for independence in Latin America grew out of the Napoleonic wars raging in Europe. Napoleon’s invasion of Spain is often seen as the proximate cause of the revolutions for independence in Spanish America.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Americans’ victory over the British may have been one of the greatest catalysts for the French Revolution. The French people saw that a revolt could be successful-even against a major military power–and that lasting change was possible. Many experts argue that this gave them the motivation to rebel.
