Age of Revolutions

Enlightenment ideals of liberty, equality, and self-governance sparked revolutions across continents. America broke from Britain, France overthrew its monarchy, Haiti's enslaved people won their freedom, and Latin America liberated itself from Spain. The divine right of kings crumbled, and the modern idea of a citizen — with rights, not just duties — was born.
