There were several factors that inspired the Latin American independence movements in the early 1800s. One factor was the success of the American Revolution. Our revolution showed other countries that it was possible to rebel against a strong colonial power. Our revolution also explained under what circumstances a revolution would be justified. The people in the Latin American countries believed these conditions existed in their countries.
Furthermore, the people in Latin American countries weren’t happy with the rule by Spain. The Spanish wouldn’t allow free trade. The colonies had to trade with Spain, even if they could get products cheaper from other countries. The Spanish rarely gave government jobs to people born in the Americas. These jobs went to people born in Spain. This made many people, especially the Creoles, unhappy. When Napoleon invaded Spain in 1808, the door was open for the revolutions to begin. Napoleon’s brother now ruled Spain, and people in the colonies felt no loyalty to him. Which lead for the people of Latin America to know that is was a good time to revolt against Spain.
Also, many Latin American countries became independent between 1810-1825.
Women and girls were not thought of back then for having the same rights as men. Men were seen as powerful and superior rather than women who were seen as nonsuperior. They didn’t want women to have the same amount of power that men had.
In the Cold War, the United States (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) were at odds with each other because of strongly different worldviews. The USA was committed to capitalism and democratic institutions of government, whereas the USSR was committed to communism and imposed authoritarian government. Initially, the USA had atomic weapons and the USSR did not. (The US would not share that technology with the Soviets, who had been their ally in World War II.) But once the Soviets developed their own atomic weaponry, this led to a massive arms race between the superpowers. The two nations kept escalating their weapons capabilities and stockpiles. It got to the point that if the two sides did plunge into war, they would face mutually assured destruction. John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of State under President Eisenhower, wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan. Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain communist aggression when it occurred. Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship." In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art." He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.
Eventually (after decades of the arms race and tensions) the US and USSR would pursue policies of detente, which included pledges to reduce their nuclear arsenals. The arms race and solving the arms race were constant issues affecting the Cold War.
