Ch. 17 pg 499-504


What I find most interesting of this reading is that a major part of the Atlantic all of a sudden came to fight for independence in such a short period of time.  I feel that this is sort of similar to the domino effect that many democratic countries fear against communism.  I think that this theory can be similarly applied to democracy and freedom from heavily governing countries.  As this short reading has proved, many countries such as the U.S., Haiti, and Mexico fought for their independence within a fifty year span and achieved what many colonies had been trying to do but couldn’t because they didn’t have the initiative to do so.
