The enlightenment age was a time period that began in the 18th century. This was an era in western philosophy, intellectual, scientific, and cultural life centered upon the 18th century. The American Revolution, French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, and the South American Revolution were major revolutions in history, which created big changes. These historic events are the cause of the way the world is now.
The French Revolution was lead by Bonaparte Napoleon. He was a successful leader who was soon known as an emperor. The French Revolution abolished monarchism in just three years all because of Napoleon, that was his motive and he succeeded. The French Revolution started in 1789 and ended in 1799. It was a ten year revolution but what was aimed for was reached and accomplished, at least most of it. During the French Revolution the growth of republics and liberal democracies were growing and secularism was spreading more. The French Revolution was the beginning of a democracy and the outcome of it was aristocracy was over thrown.
The American Revolution was a violent political era where the 13 colonies in America formed as one The United States of America to fight the British Empire because they were fed up with all the taxing they did and the way they abused their powers and exploited the Americans. The American Revolution lasted 8 years from The Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775 to the treaty of Paris in 1783. King George was in charge for the British Empire at that time. The main outcomes of this Revolution was ending the rule of British over America, the British claiming ownership of America, and the Americans creating a new government.
The Haitian Revolution had a purpose of abolishing slavery, the battle with Haitians and the French. This Revolution lasted 13 years from 1791 to 1804. At the time Haitians were one of the richest countries and the French were exploiting them for their sugar since they had a lot of that which gave them their wealth and recognition. L ‘Ouverture was a self educated domestic slave who fought for the Spanish crown in this period. He tried negotiating with the French saying he would fight with them if they would free his people, the Haitians from slavery. Soon he started rising and then didn’t want to give too much power to the French once he was well established. Soon when Napoleon sent his army they captured him and he tried negotiating and asked if his remaining men can fight for the French army and they did. He was soon shipped off to France and died in prison. The main outcomes of the Haitian Revolution were they fought for freedom and eventually gained their independence.
The South American Revolution was a Revolution that gained independence for a couple countries in Latin America. These Revolutions followed by the American and French Revolutions. This Revolution gave independence to Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru. There were many wars they fought for their freedom, and it paid off in the end.
In conclusion, the Revolutions were like a trend each came after another because slowly as one saw others stand up, they wanted to stand up for themselves as well so they did. Fortunately each Revolution had a positive outcome regardless of what it took to gain their independence they still received it. Each Revolution had a purpose and none of them occurred for no reason.
