????????????????????????????

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.

What contributed to the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Liula [17]

The answer is letter b. During this period the U.S. set up a blockade to prevent Russian ships from passing to Cuba. The U.S. was alarmed after photos from a spy plane showed Russian missiles on Cuban soil. This heightened American fears that Russia would invade through Cuba and use the missile already set up there. At this point in time, the world was on the verge of nuclear war. Both side weighed their options. After a tense period, secret negotiations brought an end to the conflict. The Russians withdrew their missiles from Cuba and the U.S. withdrew their missiles from Turkey.
