ackground:

            In 1790-1848 a wave on violence swept across Latin America and Europe. Europe was left in anger due to the political views left behind in the French revolution and economic problems from the Industrial revolution. During the 15^th century Spain, Portugal, and France colonized Latin America.  The people were ready to restore the countries the way they once were, before colonization, the French and Industrial revolutions had swept through. The people felt they benefited better from written constitutions, separation of powers, and natural rights. So, now it was time for war to win back the old order.
