1. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla: Father Hidalgo was born on the Corralejo hacienda near Guanajuato,

New Spain (Mexico), on May 8, 1753. The second son of Cristóbal Hidalgo y Costilla, administrator of

the hacienda, and Ana María Gallaga Mandarte y Villaseñor, Hidalgo enjoyed a comfortable

upbringing as a creole though he endured a major loss at age 9 with the death of his mother. At age

12, Hidalgo and his older brother, José Joaquín, were sent to the city of Valladolid to continue their

education. After completing his coursework at Colegio de San Nicolás, Hidalgo studied philosophy

and theology at the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico, graduating in 1773.

2. Louis XV – King: He could not govern the country until he was of legal age, for which he was the

Regent of the Duke of Orleans, which unfortunately had to stay with the problems left by the Sun King

in France. Although Louis was declared of age, he was not King, if he did not remain in the hands of

the Duke of Bourbon.

3. Olympe de Goudes: Born in 1748 with the name was Marie Gouze. She was a writer and the poet,

which would lead to her later in life writing “The declaration of women's rights and citizen”. She was

an avid social activist who focused on social struggles such as racism sexism and others. She was a

strong woman, who fought in the early women´s suffrage movements, her activism is why she will be

remembered forever.

4. Maria Antonieta: She was the 15th and second to last child of Maria Theresa, empress of Austria,

and Holy Roman Emperor Francis I. She lived a relatively carefree childhood. Marie Antoinette’s

education was typical of an 18th-century aristocratic girl and focused primarily on religious and moral

principles, while her brothers studied more academic subject matter.

5. James Watt: He was a Scottish inventor, engineer and chemist, and even he was considered dumb

in school, he studied a lot alone and with time he became one of the most important inventors in the

Industrial Revolution period.

3. Industrial Revolution: It was a period of change, including the use of new materials like iron and

steel, and the developing of many new inventions and the use of new forms of energy.

Discovery of electricity: One discovery that marked the history and the future of the humanity because

until know we continue using electricity for many things.

The French Revolution: It had general causes common to all the revolutions of the West at the end of

the 18th century and particular causes that explain why it was by far the most violent and the most

universally significant of these revolutions. The events in France gave new hope to the

revolutionaries who had been defeated a few years previously in the United Provinces, Belgium, and

Switzerland. Likewise, all those who wanted changes in England, Ireland, the German states, the

Austrian lands, or Italy looked upon the Revolution with sympathy.

French Intervention in Mexico: from 1862 to 1867, it was an attempt by the French to establish a

second empire in the form of Napoleon III. It strived to place military and supremacy to counteract the
expansion of the U.S. It placed Maximilian of Habsburg as emperor. What I find interesting about the

empire was the liberal inclination of Maximilian, which led to conservatives becoming affronted with

wanting European rulership (Empire) and not agreeing with liberal ideals.

Unification of Germany: It was the consolidation of 39 German-speaking states to form a German

Empire. It was created by the Congress of Vienna in 1815. It was an unstable Confederation, which

would lead to the creation of the Northern German Confederation in 1866 which was to be put under

Prussian rulership. But it was finally established properly as a nation-state in 1871 in Versailles,

where princes of the German states gathered to Wilhelm I of Prussia as German Emperor. I find it

interesting how much they struggled to be able to properly unify the German states, it resembles the

state of Mexico after the Independence Wars.

Hi samantha, very complete and large but interesting work, pleasure to read it and learn more about
these topics. I would add like the final history of Maximilian of Habsburg referring to his death being
followed by mexicans and finally killed with his wife and that step finishing an awful era and the new
born of a excellent nation.
