Creoles, who were of European descent, often saw themselves as superior to mestizos (people of mixed European and indigenous ancestry) and indigenous peoples. This led to tensions and conflicts between the various groups. In Mexico, the first Revolution of 1810 was largely led by creoles and had significant mass support from mestizos and indigenous peoples. However, this revolution was ultimately crushed by a combination of creole and peninsular (born in Spain) forces. Therefore, both options A and B are correct. Option C is incorrect, as Miguel Hidalgo y Castilla was a key leader of the Mexican Revolution, not the Argentine Revolution, and did not use his power to exterminate the native population.
