The independence movements in Latin America between 1810 and 1822: a. created new nations that economically developed at a very fast rate. b. gained very little sympathy in the United States because of atrocities committed by revolutionaries. c. paralleled in some ways the independence movement that created the United States. d. created seventeen different nations, each headed by a person of Indian ancestry. e. led Spain to crack down and succeed in consolidating its power in the Americas.

Answer 1

Answer: c. paralleled in some ways the independence movement that created the United States.

Explanation:

Napoleon invaded Spain in the early 1800s and Spain's colonies in the Americas decided to use this as an excuse to wrestle independence from Spain. In most cases wars of independence were fought and only after the colonies won, did they get independence.

This paralleled the struggle for independence in the United States as they had to fight the British in the American Revolution in order to gain independence.
