Delilah Dickson · Answer 1

Answer: Several factors have led to the fight for independence.

Explanation:

During the nineteenth century, wars for independence and greater human rights were waged worldwide. The French Revolution greatly influenced these movements, which were current around the world. The Enlightenment, the French Revolution, were some of the factors that led to the independence movement across South America.

South America was ruled by the Spanish and Portuguese, and their involvement in the war against Napoleon led to an uprising against their rule in this part of the world. The American War of Independence also served as an inspiration for the South American states to pursue their independence as well. All of these factors, therefore, were the trigger for the start of the fight for freedom in this part of the world.
