Ch. 17

Between 1775 and 1875, the French Revolution was the heart of a revolutionary process around the Atlantic.  however, this impacted way more than just the Atlantic world.  The French invaded Russia, Poland, and Egypt.  Many countries were beginning to open up to more women right and abolishing slavery.  Nationalism was formed by these revolutions.  These introductions to equality opened the doors for communism and socialism.  Latin America, Europe, Haiti, and North America have all influenced each other through their revolutions.  They had a lot of ideas in common.  They were also all coming out of enlightenment.  The main common idea politically here was popular sovereignty.  From 1775 to 1787, The North American Revolution had a conservative political movement, had a colonial society, and was where Americans believed that they were making a new world order.  From 1789 to 1815, During the French Revolution, they were experiencing bankruptcy, and their risings were created by social disagreements, which was far more violent.  From 1791 to 1804, similar to the French Revolution, The Haiti Revolution involved a lot of violence.  What I found remarkable about the Haiti Revolution was that  it has the only wholly successful slave revolt in world history which sparked plenty of hope and also fear. From 1810 to 1825, there was the Spanish American Revolutions, inspired by earlier revolutionary movements.  They were limited at first and made it a longer process than in North America.
