Mrs. Wilderman's World History II Class Springfield Township High School

**__ World Revolutions Project __** Due 2/22/10 //After the Enlightenment, people throughout the world were inspired to create change in their own countries. We have already studied how these ideas impacted life in America and in France, now we will look at revolutions throughout the world. Nations in Europe, held together by aggressive empires, and in Latin America, ruled by foreign monarchs, fought to end the old order and begin a new order.// To better understand the causes of revolt and the impacts of individuals, we will research revolutions in Europe and Latin America.
