Explanation:

The French Revolution (1789 - 1799) inspired ideas of liberty, equality, and popular sovereignty. These ideas spread and influenced revolutionary movements in Latin and South America in the 1800s. The American Revolution also had an influence, but the French Revolution's radical ideas and its success in overthrowing a monarchy were more directly relevant to Latin American independence - seekers. "The Wealth of Nations" is an economic treatise and "The Communist Manifesto" was published in 1848, long after the start of most Latin - American revolutions.

B. the French Revolution
