19th-century rebellions

Nineteenth-century rebellions were uprisings where groups challenged established governments or social systems, often driven by demands for independence, social justice, or better rights. These protests emerged from political oppression, economic hardships, or cultural suppression during a period of widespread change and colonial expansion. Notable examples include the Indian Revolt of 1857, which aimed to end British dominance, and various Latin American wars of independence that broke free from colonial powers. These rebellions reflected the desire for self-rule and equality, shaping modern nations and political boundaries.
