  • The North American Revolution
1775-1787

The North American Revolution is widely known as the struggle for independence against the oppression of British Rule. The start of this revolution was triggered by the creation of the Declaration of Independence. This is how the new colonies created new political change. Many changes resulted between the colonies and the Englishmen. One main difference is the way societies were created. Colonists created their lives around historic leadings. The reason for this revolution was not only because of the social tensions, but because of what British control was trying to achieve, which is tighter control over colonists and their money. The wonder of this revolution wasn't based on the fight but what political and social life was already forming in the colonies. The independences of life they wanted was what made this revolution the amazement it is today. Today in our modern government you the Bill of Rights, checks and balances, separation of church and state, etc because of the trials and errors the colonists went through.


  • The French Revolution
1789-1815

The French people in this time gave assistance to the Americans which then led the French to extreme bankruptcy. The French tried to communicate with the Americans with taxes and expenses that were taken by the Americans but ignorance was displayed. Unlike the North American Revolution, The French Revolution was started by economic troubles. Tension soon came into the picture of the society. Hunger grew, and the poor society grew as well. Throughout the revolution many believed that this revolution was devouring its down children. Unlike other revolution the idea of gender roles between both men and women. Women were being questioned about their political equality and how they contribute to any action in society. Having women have their own say in situations was very threatening to men and their own egos. This brought both conservatives and revolutionaries together to bring down the idea that women can be independent. They brought a new name to women called "domineering woman". This demeaning name made sure that women wouldn't be independent. Influence of the French Revolution started with the spread of feminism and societal changed.


  • The Haitian Revolution
1791-1804

The French Revolution echoed the loudest into the French Caribbean now known as Haiti. fuses were set by the ideas of equality of citizenship, and economic and societal changed/ rights. Slaves, free people, and whites began to fight for all their own rights and what they believed they had a right to in their lives. The name changed of their society came due to the fact they didn't want to be known as the people who were drug around with no say. They choose Haiti because it means mountainous. It was a symbol of their new found power. The Haitian Revolution stands has a stand in history of horror and a place that should be repeated. Political change is what took this revolution where it was.


  • Spanish American Revolutions
1808-1825

This revolution was sparked by all the experiences of the past revolutions and also their own political, societal, and historical experiences. Spanish colonies were being strictly controlled by their British counterparts and wanted to take the stand on their independence and what they felt they deserved. They didn't want their growth prohibited any longer, the movement of independence needed to be activated. Though Latin Americans were ready to fight for their independence it was done under great fear of losing what they already had. They feared that Latin American Elites would handle too much power and provoke severe danger to themselves and their people. The revolution between the Spanish and Latin Americans made both colonies realize what they needed for their own success. Both grew more independent, wealthy in industrialization and economically. Both took in more international influence. Though they both grew in many ways they also lead historically and politically different.

History Presentation

Anthony Langarica World History 4-10-19 Topic: Early Slavery in America Audience: College Students // The Next Generation Why is topic important? I believe this topic is important to talk about because it teaches us the history of our country as well as the history of people from different backgrounds. In addition it’s important to know about slavery because it shows how it has affected many people and countries. 2-4 Key Ideas: 1.) Atlantic Slave Trade- 10 million Africans were enslaved and transported to Europe and the Americas between the 15th and 19th centuries. During the 15th century when Portugal, and subsequently other European kingdoms, were finally able to expand overseas and reach Africa. The Portuguese first began to kidnap people from the west coast of Africa and to take those they enslaved back to Europe. Slave trade played an important role in providing British industry with access to raw materials. This contributed to the increased production of ma...

Chapter 21 Summary

Anthony Langarica World History 4-2-19 Chapter 21 In Chapter 21 it discussed the end of communism as well as socialism. Communism is a "political theory advocating class war and leading the society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs." This was inspired by the teachings of Karl Marx. Karl Marx "was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary."  He beleived that people can "achieve their goals peacefully and through a democratic process, those who defined themselves as communists in the 20th century disdained such reformism and advocated uncompromising revolution." (Pg 930) Socialism is something different however. Socialism is a "political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned and regulated by the community...

Hallmarks of NDNU and what I learn from them

Anthony Langarica 3-14-19 World History Their are two Hallmarks at NDNU that stand out to me out of the seven this institution has. The first one that stands out to me is the Hallmark 2 and the second Hallmark that stands out is number 5. Hallmark two states that " We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person." This stands out to me because this means that we respect one another. We also dont take anyone for granted and cherish each person as an equal. Hallmark 5 states "We embrace the gift of diversity." I like this Hallmark in particular because in the San Fransico area their are people from many different backgrounds. We embrace these backgrounds and the cultures of others. An example of this would be Chinatown. Chinatown has the China feel to it, embracing their culture even though they are not in their home land. We can see all around us how these Hallmarks come into play with our lifes without us knowing it.
