Question

question 15 of 20 : select the best answer for the question. 15. napoleon bonaparte helped to cause latin american revolutions by
a. taking over france.
b. becoming allied with the united states.
c. invading the iberian peninsula.
d. invading russia.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Taking over France was Napoleon's rise to power in France, not directly related to Latin American revolutions.
• Option B: Napoleon was not allied with the US in a way that caused Latin American revolutions; in fact, the US had the Monroe Doctrine later, and Napoleon's focus was on Europe and other campaigns.
• Option C: When Napoleon invaded the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), it weakened the control of these countries over their Latin American colonies. This power vacuum and the example of resistance against European rule inspired Latin American leaders to seek independence.
• Option D: The invasion of Russia was a campaign in Europe and had no direct connection to Latin American revolutions.

Answer:

C. invading the Iberian Peninsula.
