Causes: The Estates were in a tense situation; the 3rd Estate (95% of people) had very little political power
Third Estate becomes National Assembly and establishes The Declaration of Rights of Man, France becomes a Nation State, then a Constitutional Monarchy, then a Republic
Major players: Robespierre and the Jacobins make the Committee of Public Safety (a misnomer), which kills thousands in order to stop anarchy :/
Napoleon sweeps through; well liked until Russia beats him at Waterloo, when he's exiled.
THE FRENCH REVOLUTION WAS A WASTE. |

Mexico wanted in on all the revolution business. "Father (Miguel) Hidalgo" spurred on the movement, calling peninsulares, creoles, and mestizos.
Eventually, the creoles began to oppose peninsulares, so Hidalgo revolted against them (but not Spain). The Spanish monarch still took offense and executed him.
Hidalgo's name goes down in history even though Agustin de Iturbide finished the job and declared Mexico's independence from Spain. |
