question 2 of 10
how did the mexican war of independence differ from the american revolution?
a. only the mexican war of independence eliminated spanish colonial control over part of north america.
b. only the american revolution succeeded in replacing a monarchy with another form of government.
c. only the american revolution was concerned with establishing a representative form of government.
d. only the mexican war of independence required military conflict to achieve its objectives.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Mexican War of Independence ended Spanish colonial rule in parts of North America (Mexico), while the American Revolution ended British colonial rule. This is a key difference.
• Option B: Both the Mexican War of Independence and the American Revolution aimed to replace colonial rule (which was often tied to a monarchy - Spain and Britain were monarchies). After independence, Mexico had various forms of government (including periods of republics) and the US became a republic. So this option is incorrect.
• Option C: Both revolutions had elements of wanting more representative governance. The American Revolution led to a republic with representative institutions, and the Mexican War of Independence also had ideas of self - governance that could be seen as moving towards more representative forms (even if the post - independence period was complex). So this option is incorrect.
• Option D: Both the American Revolution and the Mexican War of Independence involved military conflict. The American Revolution had battles like Lexington and Concord, Saratoga, etc. The Mexican War of Independence had military campaigns. So this option is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Only the Mexican War of Independence eliminated Spanish colonial control over part of North America.
