A) Creole elites
After achieving independence in various Latin American countries, the Creole elites (those of European descent born in the Americas) typically exercised the most power. They often led the independence movements and subsequently held significant political and economic influence in the new nations, while peninsulares (those born in Spain) lost their privileged status.
