Answer 1

Independence led to political and economic instability in these regions, as well as some positive social changes.

Brief justification: After independence most new states in Latin America and Haiti experienced frequent coups, civil wars, weak institutions and caudillo rule (political instability), plus economic disruption, loss of colonial markets, debt, and continued export dependence (economic instability). Socially there were some gains—end of colonial rule, abolition of slavery in places like Haiti and gradual legal reforms—but deep racial and class inequalities largely persisted.
