Question 16

Para la visión de Simón Bolívar de una Estados Unidos del Sur América no se materializó por problemas económicos (bancarrota) y divisiones de clase (creoles querían retener el poder), así que la opción correcta es la que incluye ambas razones.

En el sistema social de España y sus colonias en América Latina, la raza era el factor principal para determinar el estatus social (la jerarquía racial como sistema de casta).

Los caudillos eran gobernantes fuertes que gobernaban países latinoamericanos recién independizados mediante la fuerza.
