Chapter 16

Chapter 16 summary 
This chapter was about the Atlantic Revolutions (Global Echoes). It starts off explaining the Haitian revolution. 1775 and 1825 is the time period of the revolution. It explains how the Haitian revolution was inspired by North America and the French Revolution. That leads to the definition of "Global Echoes". Global meaning the world (different countries and continents) and copying or echoing each other. Seems like the trend in this topic is revolting. In other words the Atlantic revolutions. 
As an overview of this chapter, we go through the comparisons of each revolution taken place at this time. "They were triggered by different circumstances, expressed quite different social and political tensions, and varied considerably in their outcomes" (701). Moving forward the second revolution introduced is the Noth American revolution. This revolution took place from 1775 all the way through 1787. The next revolution took place in 1789-1815. "Act two in the drama of the Atlantic revolutions took place in France"(704). It was close to the time of the North American revolution. The third revolution is the Haitian revolution. Like I have mentioned above. The timing for this revolution was from 1791-1804. A long time to be a civil war.  eight years later starts the Spanish American revolution (1808-1825). "the final act in half a century of Atlantic revolutionary upheaval took place in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies of mainland Latin America" (710). like the rest of the revolutions, this was impacted by the past revolutions I mentioned above. All these countries echoed each other. 

After all the revolutions came abolition of slavery. It was a new time for these countries. So with a lot of hard work and convincing they did away with slavery. Moving way forward, the beginnings of feminism starts! It explains all the suffrage movements and all the stuff woman had/have to go through to be equal.

The End of Empire: The Global South On The Global Stage (1914-present): this chapter starts off with national leader Nelson Mandela. He was "South Africa`s nationalist leader, first uttered these words in 1964 for his trial for treason, sabotage, and conspiracy to overthrow the apartheid government of his country. Convicted of those charges, he spent the next twenty- seven years in prison"(975, Strayer). As this chapter went on topics like the struggles for independence came up. "in 1900, European colonial empires in Arica, Asia, the Caribbean region, and the Pacific Ocean appeared as enduring features of the worlds political Landscape. Well before the 20th century, they were gone." (976, Strayer) There is a timeline on the page (977, Strayer)  that helped me a lot. It summarized all of the events like in 1915 Gandi comes back to India after being in South Africa, 1923-1938 Turkeys secular modernized intiaated under Kernal Ataturk, 1928 muslim brotherh...
