Atlantic Revolutions

The Atlantic Revolutions refer to a series of interconnected uprisings in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, primarily in North America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Key examples include the American Revolution (1775-1783), the French Revolution (1789-1799), and the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804). These movements were driven by Enlightenment ideas of liberty, equality, and democracy, challenging monarchies and colonial powers. They significantly influenced political thought, inspired subsequent revolutions, and contributed to the spread of democratic ideals across the globe, shaping modern nations and human rights concepts.
