Question

why did the spanish execute miguel hidalgo and josé morelos?
to establish a new mexican government

to prevent the spread of the revolution

to gain support in latin america

Explanation:

Miguel Hidalgo and José Morelos were key figures in the Mexican War of Independence. The Spanish colonial authorities saw them as threats because their actions and leadership were driving the revolutionary movement. Executing them was a way to try and stop the spread of the revolution that aimed to end Spanish colonial rule. Establishing a new Mexican government was the goal of the revolutionaries, not the Spanish. Gaining support in Latin America was not the reason for their execution; the Spanish were focused on suppressing the local revolutionary threat in Mexico.

Answer:

to prevent the spread of the revolution
