Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808 destabilized the Spanish monarchy and undermined its authority in its colonies, creating a power vacuum in Latin America. As the Spanish government was distracted and weakened, local elites and criollos (American-born Spaniards) began to challenge colonial rule, inspired by Enlightenment ideals and the example of other revolutions. The lack of strong central control from Spain led to the emergence of independent movements across Latin America, ultimately sparking a series of revolutions against colonial rule.
