1. what was the cause of the brazilian revolution?
2. what was the cause of the mexican revolution?

Explanation:

To answer these questions, we would typically analyze the historical context of each revolution:

Question 14 (Cause of the Brazilian Revolution):

The Brazilian Revolution (specifically the 1822 independence movement) was primarily caused by the political upheaval in Portugal during the Napoleonic Wars. When Napoleon invaded Portugal, the Portuguese royal family fled to Brazil, elevating Brazil’s status. After the royal family returned to Portugal, Dom Pedro (the son of the Portuguese king) was left in charge of Brazil. Fearing a return to colonial status and influenced by growing Brazilian nationalism, Dom Pedro declared Brazil’s independence in 1822.

Question 15 (Cause of the Mexican Revolution):

The Mexican Revolution (1910–1920) was caused by widespread social, economic, and political inequality. Key factors included:

• Political Dictatorship: Porfirio Díaz’s long - term authoritarian rule, which favored the wealthy elite and foreign interests while suppressing political opposition.
• Economic Inequality: A small elite controlled most of the land and resources, while the majority of the population (peasants, workers) lived in poverty.
• Social Unrest: Demands for land reform, better working conditions, and political representation from various groups (peasants, industrial workers, middle - class reformers).

(Note: If the video refers to an earlier Mexican independence movement (1810 - 1821), the causes centered around a desire to end Spanish colonial rule, inspired by the Enlightenment, the American and French Revolutions, and the weakening of Spain due to the Napoleonic Wars, along with local grievances over colonial exploitation.)

Answer:

s:

1. The Brazilian Revolution (1822) was caused by the political changes in Portugal (Napoleonic Wars, royal family’s return), fears of losing autonomy, and rising Brazilian nationalism, leading Dom Pedro to declare independence.
2. The Mexican Revolution (1910 - 1920) was caused by Porfirio Díaz’s authoritarian rule, economic inequality, and social unrest demanding land reform, better working conditions, and political representation (or for the earlier independence, desire to end Spanish colonial rule and related factors).
