Revolutions in the 19th Century

The 19th century was a time of widespread political and social upheaval, known as revolutions, where people sought change in governance, rights, and social structures. These revolutions often aimed to overthrow monarchies or imperial systems, establish republics, and promote ideas like democracy, nationalism, and independence. Key examples include the Haitian Revolution (abolishing slavery), the Latin American Wars of Independence, and European revolutions like those in France and Italy. These movements significantly reshaped nations, inspiring future struggles for human rights, self-determination, and modernization across the world.
