The Creoles
The peninsulares would have opposed revolutions in Latin America.
The most powerful group in the Latin American colonies were the Creoles, who were of European descent but born in the Americas. They held significant economic and social influence, often owning large estates and businesses. Despite their power, they were frequently marginalized by the peninsulares, those born in Spain, which fueled discontent and ultimately contributed to independence movements across the region. The interplay between these two groups significantly shaped the colonial hierarchy and the dynamics of power in Latin America.

The Enlightenment significantly influenced the development of political revolutions in Europe and the Americas during the 18th century. Key countries affected included France, where the ideas of liberty and equality fueled the French Revolution, and the American colonies, which sought independence from British rule inspired by Enlightenment principles of democracy and individual rights. Additionally, Enlightenment thought resonated in places like Latin America, where it contributed to independence movements against colonial powers.
