Why were creoles ready to revolt by 1808?

By 1808, creoles were increasingly frustrated with Spanish colonial rule, which marginalized them politically and economically despite their significant local influence. The Napoleonic Wars in Europe created a power vacuum and weakened Spanish authority, leading to a desire for self-governance among creoles. Additionally, Enlightenment ideas about liberty and equality inspired them to seek independence. The combination of these factors fueled their readiness to revolt against colonial oppression.
