The Latin American Countries wanted independence from Spain because they did not like Spanish taxes. The Spanish treated the people of Latin America like second, third, and fo â¦ urth class citizens.hey stole Mexico's treasures like gold, and precious gems, and left nothing for them. They didn't want to obey a king that was very distant from them, they wanted to be independent because of that.
The Latin American Wars for Independence were a turbulent time for these former Spanish colonies. It began when Napoleon Bonaparte dethroned Ferdinand and replaced him with his brother. This lead to a weakening of Spanish power in Latin America and a surge of support for independent republics. Mexico was the first to revolt and attempt to gain their independence, lead by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. This revolt, however, was unsuccessful and Hidalgo was executed in 1811. The next uprising took place in Buenos Aires where Bolivar and the Juntas lead a movement for Venezuelan Independence.
