Answer 1

The correct answer is: Many parts of Latin America were fed up with the dictatorial rule of the Spanish Crown and consequently fought for and won independence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many Latin American countries were under Spanish rule since the 15th century. Spanish Empire conquered, colonized and exploited Latin American people and territories, destroyed some ancient civilizations, like Mayas, Aztecs, and Incas, by imposing their own will and excluding colonies from economic progress and autonomous decision making.

In the late 18th century, almost all Latin American nations started their fight for political independence and sovereignty, under the strong influence of the American Revolutions and Haitian rebellion against French in 1804.

The first independent Latin American countries were: Mexico, Chile, and Colombia (1810), and later Paraguay and Venezuela (1811) while the last country that gained independence from Spain was Cuba in 1898.
