Political ideals stemming from the successful (1) Revolution in North America were beginning to influence Latin America. When Napoleon overthrew the monarchies of Spain and Portugal, the authority of the (2) Spaniards and (3) Portuguese. was weakened in their colonial empires. Between 1807 and 1825, revolutionary movements enabled most of Latin America to become (4) independent

The first real hero of Mexican independence was (5) Miguel Hildago. On September 16, 1810, a crowd of (6) Native Americans and (7)Mestizos, armed with clubs, machetes, and a few guns, formed a mob army to attack the Spaniards. In 1821, Mexico declared its independence from Spain and became a (8) Republic in 1823. (9) Jose de san Martin believed that the Spaniards must be removed from all of South America if any South American nation was to be free. Unsure of their pre- cise boundaries, the new nations went to war with one another to settle (10) border disputes. Soon after independence, strong leaders known as (11) caudillos came into power, who ruled by military force.

As a result of the (12) Spanish American War, Cuba became a United States protectorate, and Puerto Rico was (13) annexed to the United States. The United States was granted control of a strip of land in Panama where they built the (14) Panama Canal.
