    Revolution: an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed (Dictionary.com). This definition explains what a revolution is, but not the many reasons of why it happens. Every revolution in history has happened because people were being treated poorly and felt the need to fix their quality of life, so they rebelled against their government. Most revolutions were won and people gained many new freedoms & liberties, and new governments were put in place to uphold better rights. Some failed as well in their fight for more freedoms; yet these still affected history, and some change or progress was still made. Three key revolutions that had great impacts on the world were the American Revolution of 1776 (which started in 1763), the French Revolution of 1789, and the German Revolution of 1848. All three revolutions had major gains and even some losses that shaped not only their history, but the rest of the world for years to come.…

    Though the liberation of the Yarur Mill occurred on April 28, 1971 in what would be described as a "spontaneous" seizure by the union leaders of the mill, it was decades of oppression, manipulation, and exploitation that forced the hands of the workers to either live free, or die trying to gain that freedom. The necessity for the Chilean revolution was not only seen from the bottom up perspective of the workers, it also was recognized from the top down, by the Salvador Allende government, and the people of Chile who voted his Populist Party into power. Faced with the majority of its wealth in the hands of the elite class and foreign investors, the workers, peasants, urban lower class, and the indigenous population were understandably…

    Before the Cuban Revolution, Cuba was under the rule of an oppressive leader named Fulgencio Batista. Batista was despised and an infamous ruler because he caused a huge gap between the rich and the poor. This caused many to try to overthrow the government in search of equality. The leader of one of these guerilla movements went by the name of Fidel Castro. Fidel Castro led an armed movement against the US armed Batista and took leadership by force. When he first arrived in Havana the populous wasn’t sure what to think of their new leader. “Later that day, as he addressed the huge crowd, someone released white doves as a sign of peace and one landed on Castro 's shoulder. Many Cubans took that as a sign that he was destined to lead them to a better future” (Depalma).This struggle for equality is called the Cuban Revolution and it has many impacts on history. The Cuban Revolution is important to history because it placed Cuba as an important Soviet Union ally for the Cold War, making the Cold War more severe, it caused the US to place a trading embargo on Cuba, and it caused Cuba to turn into a communist country.…

    It doesn’t take the largest countries in the world to start a revolution. Just the will, of one man. On July 26th, 1953, an attack was led on the Moncada Barracks in Cuba. This attack was the start of a revolution. A transformation was beginning, and a shift of power was to come. Rebel forces had gained enough power to attempt removal Dictator Fulgencio Batista, and create Castro’s Cuba. This revolution wasn’t like other revolutions. It was bloody, careless, inhumane, and spectacular. The Cuban Revolution had a lasting effect on the society of Central America, which caused the establishment of a communistic environment that both helped and destroyed the legacy and welfare of Cuban life.…

    There are many noticeable differences between a developing and a developed country. Many of these differences come from the history of their social, political, economic, cultural, historical, geographical factors, and international relations. According the UN “a developing country is a country with a relatively low standard of living, undeveloped industrial base, and moderate to low Human Development Index (HDI)” (Educational Pathways International). This means that developing countries lack the basic needs such as water, education, work, food and housing which affect life expectancy. Cuba is a perfect example of a developing country who is struggling with their housing, jobs, and all the basic needs except for education but is expected to…

The European Revolutions of 1848, in some countries known as the Spring of Nations or the Year of Revolution, were the bloody consequences of a variety of changes that had been taking place in Europe in the first half of the 19th century. In politics, both bourgeois reformers and radical politicians were seeking change in their nations' governments. In society, technological change was creating new ways of life for the working classes, a popular press extended political awareness, and new values and ideas such as nationalism and socialism began to spring up. The tinder that lit the fire was a series of economic downturns and crop failures that left many of the poor starving…
