The regions with a colonial class structure that included a peninsula creole and mestizos were in Latin America, particularly in countries such as Mexico, Peru, and Chile.

The resentment of the mestizo and creole social classes in Latin America sparked a desire to end colonial rule. The mestizos were of mixed European and indigenous descent, facing discrimination and limited opportunities under colonial rule. The creoles, or American-born descendants of European colonizers, sought more political and economic power that was restricted by colonial authorities.
