revolution and the mexican war of independence?

a. both weakened french influence in north america.

b. both replaced democracies with dictatorships.

c. both saw colonies win their independence from european

Explanation:

The American Revolution was fought by British colonies in North America to gain independence from Great Britain, a European empire. The Mexican War of Independence was waged by Mexican colonists to break free from Spanish (a European empire) rule. Option A is incorrect because the Mexican War of Independence did not target French influence. Option B is wrong as both conflicts led to self-governing systems, not replacing democracies with dictatorships. Option D is incorrect; neither conflict was primarily motivated by religious freedom.

Answer:

C. Both saw colonies win their independence from European empires.
