Several revolutions erupted in Europe between 1815 and 1829, and the spread of revolutionary ideals would ignite new uprisings in 1830 and 1848.
Also occurring during this time were the wars of independence in Latin America.
These revolts began in the late 1700s and early 1800s and were inspired by the success of the American Revolution and the ideals of the French Revolution.
Remember the Congress of Vienna?
After Napoleon was removed from power, a group of diplomats and heads of state from the empires of Russia, Prussia, Austria, Britain and France worked from September 1814 to June 1815 to create a lasting peace by establishing a balance of power and protecting the system of monarchy. They tried to uproot the “revolutionary seed” and suppress nationalistic fervor.
