Latin American Wars of Independence (North, Simon Bolivar)
Simon Bolivar was a revolutionary who freed six countries, he argued the problems of national liberation& a general who fought a war of unremitting violence.Inspired extremes of devotion and detestation. Many Spanish Americans wanted him to be their dictator; their king but some denounced him as a traitor, others tried to assassinate him. Bolivar was really talented in multiple occasions, but he was more like a professional concerning fighting wars and being a dictator. Lasted from 1791 to 1804. -
Romanticism
Romanticism was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century and in most areas was at its top in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850.

Mexican War of Independence

German Unification
Camillo Di Cavour directed Italian unification, a junker named Otto Von Bishmark pushed German unification through "blood and Iron" and skillful understanding of realpolitik.
