Revolution History

Esta es una historia mínima de un fenómeno complejo y cambiante, en un periodo de dos décadas, llamado Revolución cubana. Mínima historia, en el sentido que dio a estos términos el historiador mexicano Daniel Cosío Villegas, allá por los años setenta. El autor de esta obra repasa las líneas maestras del cambio económico, social, político y cultural que vivió la isla entre los años cincuenta y setenta del pasado siglo.

When the first settlers reached the United States of America and started to chip out a living in the wilderness that seemed so fierce and unfamiliar to their European eyes, they could never have dreamed that someday the land upon which they stood would become one of the most powerful countries in the entire world.

The word ‘Independence’ is, quite frankly, a very common word today – celebrated, venerated, and metaphorically worn as a badge by every citizen of a democracy, such as the United States. And it has a deep association with the word ‘Freedom.’ For any American today, these two form the basis of their fundamental rights – you were born with them, and you will die with them. But have you ever thought about the weight that these two words carry? Or the toll they left in their wake within the bloodied pages of the history of the United States?

The work begins by exploring French society before the revolution, claiming that the cause was economic injustice and lack of economic growth. It considers the phases of the revolution, its victims and villains, and the intellectuals involved. Finally, the rise and dictatorship of Napoleon Bonaparte is discussed.

Who invented supply-side economics - the idea that cutting tax rates can result in more growth, more prosperity at all income levels, and even more tax revenue flowing into the IRS? Most people would credit the economic team that advised Ronald Reagan in the late 1970s and early 1980s. But in fact supply-side economics came of age two decades earlier. And the first president who embraced it was one of the biggest icons of the Democratic Party - John F. Kennedy.

The year 1815 marked the beginning of a time of repression in Europe. Napoleon Bonaparte had been defeated at Waterloo and sent to the remote South Atlantic island of Saint Helena, the torrent of blood unleashed by the French Revolution had finally run dry, and the dispossessed princes were returning to their thrones. Bourbon King Louis XVIII returned to Paris, King Ferdinand VII was restored in Madrid, and the numerous petty princes of Germany and Italy took back power in their localities.

The American Revolution was a naval war of immense scope and variety, including no less than 22 navies fighting on five oceans - to say nothing of rivers and lakes. In no other war were so many large-scale fleet battles fought, one of which was the most strategically significant naval battle in all of British, French, and American history.

The Haitian Revolution was a slave rebellion that began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, now known as Haiti. On this small island, the tyrants were the slave owners, people who not only denied their slaves freedom, but felt justified in killing them. The Haitian Revolution began to change the way slaves were viewed all over the world.

La historia de la revolución, como toda historia, debe, ante todo, relatar los hechos y su desarrollo. Mas esto no basta. Es menester que del relato se desprenda con claridad por qué las cosas sucedieron de ese modo y no de otro. Los sucesos históricos no pueden considerarse como una cadena de aventuras ocurridas al azar ni engarzarse en el hilo de una moral preconcebida, sino que deben someterse al criterio de las leyes que los gobiernan. El autor del presente audiolibro entiende que su misión consiste precisamente en sacar a la luz esas leyes.

Before the Revolutionary War, America was a nation divided by different faiths. But when the war for independence sparked in 1776, colonists united under the banner of religious freedom. Evangelical frontiersmen and Deist intellectuals set aside their differences to defend a belief they shared, the right to worship freely. Inspiring an unlikely but powerful alliance, it was the idea of religious liberty that brought the colonists together in the battle against British tyranny.

La Revolución rusa es uno de los acontecimientos más importantes del S. XX en Europa porque supone la creación del primer gobierno socialista en el mundo y antecede a la creación de la URSS y al cruel gobierno de Stalin, dos hechos sin los cuales no se puede dar cuenta de la historia mundial del S. XX. Breve historia de la Revolución rusa nos presenta este conflicto de un modo claro que no renuncia, sin embargo, a explicar detalladamente no sólo los procesos que llevaron a la creación de la URSS sino las distintas ambiciones de los agentes implicados en tales procesos.

The Industrial Revolution took place in Europe and the United States from the 1760s to the 1840s. It began in Great Britain, stimulated by expanding trade and the rise of business. The era saw a transition from methods of manual production to the use of machines and new manufacturing processes. This transition was marked by technical innovation, the harnessing of steam and water power, the development of machine tools, and the birth of mechanized factories.

In the dramatic few years when colonial Americans were galvanized to resist British rule, perhaps nothing did more to foment anti-British sentiment than the armed occupation of Boston. As If an Enemy's Country is Richard Archer's gripping narrative of those critical months between October 1, 1768 and the winter of 1770 when Boston was an occupied town.

No more difficult task can be found in the twenty-six volumes of The American Nation than to write a fresh and original account of the Revolution...
