lesson 3: european and latin american revolutions (1790 - 1850) latin american independence which of the following events led latin american colonists to fight for their independence? a. the large population of african slaves in latin american colonies b. the invasion of spain and portugal by napoleon c. haitis independence d. prince pedros reign in brazil

Explanation:

The invasion of Spain and Portugal by Napoleon weakened the power of these colonial - holding countries in Europe. This gave Latin American colonists an opportunity to fight for their independence. Haiti's independence was an inspiration but not a direct cause for the general Latin American independence movement. The large population of African slaves was not a factor that led colonists to fight for independence. Prince Pedro's reign in Brazil was more related to Brazil - specific events rather than the general movement for Latin American independence.

Answer:

B. The invasion of Spain and Portugal by Napoleon
