Question

During the 19th century, many Latin American nations experienced revolutions. How important were the American and French revolutions as a driving force behind the Latin American revolutions? What other factors played a role?

Answer 1

They were important because the two revolutions showed the Latin American countries that it was possible to get rid of Europeans and build a great nation afterwards. Other factors included the fact that they knew that the United States would support them since the United States declared that they would help any colony get rid of European colonists and that the New World was not a place for European influence.
