All of the above responses are correct. The economic consequences for Spanish America of Napoleon's invasion of Spain included restrictive trade practices, such as only being able to trade with Spain, which limited the colonies' economic opportunities. Additionally, the invasion led to a system where only peninsulars (people from the Iberian Peninsula) could hold high government and church offices in Spanish America, which further limited economic opportunities for the creole population. The long military engagement and disrupted trade caused by the invasion also resulted in high taxes and unstable economies in Spanish America. Additionally, the invasion and its aftermath had wider repercussions, such as the rebellion of enslaved people in St. Domingue (now Haiti) seeking liberty and equality.
