Explanation:

• Latin American leaders (like Bolívar, San Martín) opposed the exploitative, harsh European colonial rules.
• The French Revolution's ideals of liberty, equality, and anti-colonial/anti-monarchist sentiment inspired revolutionary movements in Latin America.

• Latin American revolutions were largely successful in gaining independence, so invading armies did not prevent them.
