Which of the following laid the groundwork for the revolt that led to Mexico independent from Spain A the election of Juarez B the expansion of trade C the Mexican cession D the conquest of Spain by Napoleon Bonaparte

Answer 1

The correct answer is D: the conquest of Spain by Napoleon Bonaparte. The invasion of Spain by Napoleon in 1808 created a power vacuum and weakened Spanish authority, which ultimately contributed to the movements for independence in its colonies, including Mexico. This led to a series of revolts and the eventual Mexican War of Independence, which began in 1810.
