The independence movement in Latin America was primarily fueled by a combination of Enlightenment ideas, social inequalities, and the influence of other successful revolutions, such as the American and French Revolutions. The rigid class structure, with Creoles (descendants of Europeans) seeking more power and rights denied to them by Spanish and Portuguese colonial authorities, also played a significant role. Additionally, the weakening of European powers due to wars in Europe and the Napoleonic Wars created a power vacuum that encouraged revolutionary sentiments across the region. Economic dissatisfaction and a desire for self-determination further galvanized the movement for independence.
