Overview
Key facts
Between 1789 and 1825, revolutions and wars for independence erupted across Latin America. Within only a generation, the centuries old Spanish and Portuguese colonies were destroyed and in their place over a dozen new nations emerged. Examine the seeds of rebellion in South and Central America from the beginnings of the Haitian revolution in 1791, through to the final defeat of the Spanish Empire in 1825 with University of Strathclyde's Revolutionary Latin America, 1789-1825. Explore the origins and nature of the colonial empires in the Americas and how their populations became alienated from their European founders.
