In 1807 Napoleon invaded Portugal. As a result, King John VI and 15,000 members of his court fled to Brazil. The Brazilian Patriots urged independence. The son of King John VI, Pedro I, declared independence for Brazil and made himself the ruler. Also, in 1808, Napoleon captured Carlos IV and King Fernando VII and gave the Spanish throne to his brother, Joseph Bonaparte. This disrupted the political stability of Spain and its colonies.

Mexico was a colony of Spain, dominated by 'peninsulares' or people born in Spain. Below them were the rest of the castes, including criollos or creole people (descendants of Spaniards, born in Mexico). Mexico was almost-self administered, but a strong resentment among criollos led to the independence movement during the early 19th century.

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).

Peninsulares held the highest social status, followed by criollos, while mestizos, indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans occupied lower positions in society.
