The event that contributed to the emergence of independence movements in Latin America is primarily The French Revolution and The Haitian Revolution.
- The French Revolution (1789) inspired many in Latin America to seek freedom and influenced revolutionary ideas about liberty, equality, and fraternity.
- The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was the first successful slave revolt that led to the establishment of Haiti as an independent nation, and it served as a powerful example of resistance and the pursuit of freedom in the Americas.
While the Glorious Revolution and the Adoption of the English Bill of Rights had significant impacts on political thought and governance, they did not have as direct an influence on Latin American independence movements as the former two revolutions.
