Between 1776 and 1825 wars for independence erupted all across the Americas, from Boston to Buenos Airs. Within two generations, the vast European colonial empires in the Americas collasped and 19 new independent nations emerged. This course looks at these American revolutions, beginning with the outbreak of war in British North America in 1776 and ending with the final defeat of the Spanish in South America in 1825.
