Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808 weakened Spanish authority in its Latin American colonies, creating a power vacuum that fueled desires for independence. The resulting chaos and the establishment of a puppet government in Spain inspired Creole leaders in Latin America to challenge colonial rule. Additionally, Enlightenment ideas and the example of successful revolutions, such as the American and French revolutions, further motivated these movements. Ultimately, Napoleon's actions catalyzed a wave of revolutions across Latin America during the early 19th century.

How did Napoleon cause revolutions in Latin America?

Napoleon caused revolutions in Latin America indirectly. His overthrow of the Spanish monarchy in Spain led to the Spanish-controlled colonies being ruled by Napoleon's brother Joseph as part of the French Empire. The colonists, especially the criollos, were already questioning whether the Spanish had the right to govern them or whether they should assert independence. However, most colonists could agree that there was no way that France had any right to govern them. Additionally, Spain's defeat by France meant that Spain could not expend as many soldiers and strength to repress any revolutions there. This made it an ideal time for a revolt. However, Napoleon did not support or directly influence any of the three major Latin American revolutionaries (Bolivar, San Martin, and Padre Hidalgo).
