The American Revolution was a defining moment in world history, when thirteen colonies broke away from British rule to form the United States. Colonists were upset about high taxes, lack of political power, and British soldiers in their towns. The colonists responded with protests like the Boston Tea Party and organized local assemblies. The battles of Lexington and Concord sparked the conflict. The adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 laid out the colonists' reason for the rebellion. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783, making America independent. It was more than a military victory; the American Revolution introduced democratic ideas that would inspire nations around the world.

The French Revolution happened when ordinary people rose up against unfair treatment. For centuries, the French society had been divided into three "estates." Most French citizens paid heavy taxes and had little say in the government, while the rich and powerful lived comfortably. Enlightenment ideas about equality and freedom inspired many to challenge the flawed system. They stormed the Bastille prison, declared new rights, and overthrew the King. But it soon turned violent when thousands were executed during the Reign of Terror, including King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. After, France experimented with different forms of government until Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power. Even though the revolution ended in a dictatorship, the core principles helped inspire future democratic movements.

The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 when ensalves Africans in the French colony of Saint-Domingue rebelled against the plantation conditions. It was led by figures like Toussaint Louverture, who fought for freedom and equality. After years of war, the revolutionaries defeated the French forces, and in 180,4 they declared independence. Haiti then became the first free Black republic in the world. This revolution inspired enslaved people everywhere, but it also made the powerful nations nervous. Haiti's success forced the world to confront the horrors of slavery and showed how people could overthrow oppression.
