February 14 echoes of Atlantic revolutions. sugar. strayer chapter 16
"The repercussions of the Atlantic revolutions reverberated far beyond their places of origin and persisted long after those upheavals had been concluded. Britains loss of its North American colonies, for example fueled its growing interest and interventions in Asia contributing to British colonial rule in India and the opium wars in china. napoleons brief conquest of Egypt opened the way for a modernizing regime to emerge in that ancient land and stimulated westernizing reforms in the Ottoman Empire. during the nineteenth century, the idea of a constitution found advocates in Poland Latin America the Spanish ruled Philippines china the Ottoman Empire and British governed India. within Europe which was generally dominated by conservative governments following napoleons final defeat, smaller revolutionary eruptions occur3ed in 1830 more widely in 1848 and in Paris in 1870".
"they reflected ideas of republicanism, greater social equality and national liberation from forein rule. such ideas and social pressures pushed the major states of western Europe the united states and Argentina to enlarge their voting public generally granting universal male suffrage by 1914. An abortive attempt to establish a constituitonal regime even broke out in autocratic Russia in 1825. more generally the american and the French rvoultions led sympathetic elites in central Europe and elsewhere to feel that they had fallen behind that their counties were sleeping".
Here is another section from the history book Id like to type out because I believe it is important information to know about this chapter it says, " In the world of the Atlantic revolutions ideas born of the enlightenment generated endless controversy. were liberty and equality compatible? what kind of government unitary and centralized or federal and decentralized best ensured freedom? and how far should liberty be extended? except in Haiti, the chief beneficiaries of these revolutions were propertied white men of the middling classes. Although women, slaves, native Americans, and men without property did not gain much from these revolutions, the ideas that accompanied those unheavles gave them ammunition for the future because their overall thrust was to extended political rights further than ever before, the Atlantic movements have often been referred to as did democratic revolutions". pg. 700 from chapter 16
