During the French occupation of Spain, Spain's ability to control it's colonies was severely reduced. Consequently the colonies began thinking about independence and eventually revolted against Spanish rule.
The French occupation of Spain also delegitimized Spanish control over the colonies. Much of the reason that Spanish rule was at least palatable was that Spain was considered to be a powerful country capable of defending its territory. The failure of Spaniards to repel the French advance dispelled this myth.
