which of the following was a major cause of the 19th - century revolutions in latin america?
a. the support of the u.s. military in conflicts against spain and britain
b. the success of revolutions in the united states and france
c. the split between the roman catholic church and colonial governments
d. the death of spanish colonial leader simón bolívar

Explanation:

The American Revolution (1775 - 1783) showed that colonies could break away from European powers. The French Revolution (1789 - 1799) spread ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity. These ideas inspired Latin American leaders. For example, Simon Bolivar was influenced by the ideals of these revolutions. He led independence movements in Latin America. The U.S. military was not a major support in Latin American revolutions against Spain (A is wrong). The split between the Catholic Church and colonial governments was not a major cause (C is wrong). Simon Bolivar was a Latin American revolutionary leader, not a Spanish colonial leader (D is wrong).

Answer:

B. The success of revolutions in the United States and France
