The Triumph of Revolutions: The Most Shocking Revolutions in World History - E-book - ePub

DO YOU KNOW THE MOST PROMINENT REVOLUTIONS IN HISTORY THAT TRANSFORMED THE WORLD? Revolutions throughout history have been turning points that have shaken the course of humanity, shaping societies, reshaping political and economic systems, and giving voice to people's aspirations for freedom, justice, and dignity around the world.  This book dives into the fascinating world of revolutions, exploring a wide range of revolutionary movements that have shaken the foundations of human history. You will delve into the first bourgeois revolutions after the Middle Ages in Western Europe that brought about the end of totalitarian monarchies such as the French Revolution as the main banner of liberty, equality and solidarity in France or the Glorious Revolution in England.
You will also learn about the popular and peasant revolutions of the early 20th century that led the common people to overthrow their rulers, such as the Russian Revolution, the establishment of the Weimar Republic in Germany or the creation of the Republic of Turkey. You will go through the frequent revolutions in Russian territory, both for the expansion of the Soviet bloc and against it, after the Second World War, and the creation of communist China, as well as the anti-colonial outbreaks and independence of Asian and African territories.
You will also explore revolutions that have challenged authoritarian and dictatorial regimes in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, from the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro, to the Iranian Revolution that overthrew the Shah in 1979. But revolutions do not always have a liberating character or against kings and anti-democratic regimes, but some of them brought to power totalitarian rulers such as the rise of Mussolini in Italy, Hitler in Germany or the National Uprising in Spain. These are just a few examples of the revolutions that have built the world as we know it.
