The independence movement in the U.S. inspired several Latin American countries to pursue their own independence from colonial powers, particularly Spain and Portugal, in the early 19th century. The success of the American Revolution demonstrated that colonial rule could be challenged and overthrown, fostering revolutionary sentiments across Latin America. Additionally, Enlightenment ideals of liberty, democracy, and self-determination spread throughout the region, influencing leaders like Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín in their fight for independence. As a result, many Latin American nations achieved independence during this period, reshaping the political landscape of the continent.
