Describe how napoleon's invasion and conquest of spain in the peninsular war of 1808 triggered the revolutions in latin america

In the process of Independence of the Latin American countries, the influence of the wars waged by the army of Napoleon Bonaparte was of vital importance. You can even say that the movements of the French leader's troops in the Iberian Peninsula were one of the triggers of the revolutions in the area.

In 1808, Napoleonic forces invaded Spanish territory and King Ferdinand VII abdicated before the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Ferdinand VII was arrested, which generated a power vacuum in the Spanish crown. The invasion and the subsequent power vacuum led Spain to war. This was the Spanish War of Independence.  

As a result of all these facts, the people in the Spanish colonies of America, already influenced by the ideas of the French Revolution, began to glimpse that there was a way to suppress colonialism and achieve independence in the long term. In this context, the first government boards appeared in the main Latin American cities. Thanks to these meetings, which initially recognized the royal authority in Ferdinand VII, the beginning of the independence process in the Hispanic colonies was favored.
