Yes. Actually, I could even argue that it was the reaction of Parliament to the Boston Tea Party that actually led to the Independence.
Sure, there are differences. But it would not lead to outright war without the Stamp Tax, the Tea Tax, the Intolerable Acts, etc...
Canada and Australia, for example, did not revolt and kick out the British by force of arms, despite differences between it and the mother country.
Ok I understand your point.
So if a not Napoleon invasion you believe the Spanish American Independence will look more like the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand independence movement? or like the Cuban one?
