America supported Spanish colonies in their quest for independence due to several reasons. First, they saw it as an opportunity to weaken their European rival, Spain. Second, American leaders were inspired by Enlightenment ideals of liberty and self-determination. Lastly, supporting the independence movements aligned with the Monroe Doctrine, which aimed to prevent European colonial expansion in the Western Hemisphere.
