The Atlantic Revolutions

Choose ONE of the Atlantic Revolutions (American, French, or Haitian) and write it on your sticky note along with your name. Next, take your sticky note with you to the side board and place it along the revolutionary spectrum indicating HOW REVOLUTIONARY you think that revolution was.

Revolution – n. an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed; a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, especially one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence.

What if a revolution was revolutionary in some ways, but not others?

In what ways were these revolutions limited? How severely?

What common themes or ideologies were present in all of these revolutions?

Were they revolutionary enough? Did the benefits outweigh the drawbacks?

Which revolution held truest to its cries for egalitarianism?

Which revolution was MOST revolutionary?

American Revolution -- Resolution

▪ Treaty of Paris Granted colonists independence on all territory east of the Mississippi River.

▪ New government formed under the Articles of Confederation– No Executive (King) -- No power to tax -- Very limited

standing army▪ Massive Debt and Inflation▪ Political Division Over 30% of the population were

loyalists during the war▪ U.S. Constitutional Convention: The Real End to

Revolution!

The Napoleonic Era:

To finally crush the spirit of Revolution,

the leaders of Europe met in

Vienna (1815). They agreed to restore all

international boundaries to they

way they were prior to the French

Revolution, restore all monarchies,

create a balance of power in Europe,

and institute Conservatism in all of Europe. This

final step would ultimately lead to

later revolutions in 1830 and 1848.

Congress of Vienna

In a weakened state, his army was

defeated and Napoleon was

exiled to the island of Elba. However, a

year later he returned to France

for the Hundred Days.

Reestablishing his control, he renewed his wars only to be

defeated at the Battle of

Waterloo by an international force.

This time, Napoleon was exiled to the

island of St. Helena to live out his days.

Defeat and Return

Napoleon then began his conquest

of Europe, first taking the Iberian

Peninsula and then establishing the

Continental System (after a failed attempt to

invade England). He would continue to

take over all of the Netherlands,

Austria, and Prussia. He then strove to

invade Russia in the winter. Result: Epic

Fail!

Napoleonic Wars

Napoleon created a public higher

education system, reformed the tax

codes, introduced the metric system,

negotiated the Concordat of

1801, and established a

central bank. This led to the

plebiscite in which the people made

him Emperor

ReformsFamous as a

military hero during the Revolution, Napoleon was

invited to rule under The Directory.

Instead, he held a coup d'état and

took over France as dictator in 1799.

Rise to Power

Applying the Lessons of History

▪ IN 1938, Crane Briton, a Harvard Historian, published The Anatomy of Revolution in which he compared the workings of a revolution to the progression of a fever.

▪ After studying the English Civil War (1640s), American Revolution, French Revolution, and Russian Revolution (1917), Brinton noticed a general pattern that he outlined.

▪ He used the pattern to evaluate the “radicalness” and effectiveness of revolutions.

Directions:

▪ Working in groups of 3-4, evaluate the effectiveness of Brinton’s model of revolution.

▪ Choose one of the Atlantic Revolutions to focus on. Using the chart provided, research the revolution and determine if the model can be supported by evidence from that revolution.

▪ Then, as a group, evaluate the effectiveness of the revolution by answering the questions on the back of the page.

▪ Finally, as a group, write an evaluative paragraph explaining why Brinton’s model does/does not explain the process of revolution effectively.
