Caudillos stepped into the power vacuum left by weakened central governments.

Answer 8

@tanya123 "Military rivals and insurrection by the lower classes were constant threats. This often meant that the rulers could not exert much power beyond the capital city.

As a result, the countryside saw the emergence of caudillos. These were bosses who controlled a province or territory like feudal lords. A caudillo was usually a wealthy landowner who organized and paid for his own private militia. He controlled the upper and middle classes through military strength and force of personality. He controlled the lower classes because they depended on him for work. Sometimes a caudillo managed to gain control of a national government, as Bernardo O'Higgins did in Chile and Antonio López de Santa Anna did in Mexico."
