The correct answer is:
Political independence from Europe
Explanation:
During the late 18th century and the 19th century, a revolutionary wave took place in South America, inspired after the American and French revolutions. This revolutionary wave resulted in political independence from Europe and new independent countries in Latin America and is called the Latin American Wars.
The first colony that followed the American and French revolutions was Haiti which gained independence from France (1791-1804). The new independent countries that formed during the 19th century (Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia) gained political independence mainly from Portugal, Spain and France.
