Enlightenment ideas.
They spread notions of natural rights, popular sovereignty, and challenges to absolute monarchy that inspired Creole leaders and other groups to seek independence. (Religious persecution wasn’t a major trigger in Catholic-dominated colonies; “decentralized government” is more a goal/outcome than a cause; the absence of slavery is incorrect — slavery existed and in places like Haiti its presence helped spark revolt.)
