Revolution on the World
A Brief Powerpoint by Matt Joyner
AP World History

2. The American Revolution
 Caused by colonist’s contempt with “old” British society.
 Wanted religious freedom, economic freedom, and social freedom. It
was time from the “offspring” to depart from its “mother.”
 Influenced by Enlightenment thinkers and philosophers, like John
Locke
 Basic rights
 Democracy

3. Immediate Influence: The French
Revolution
 The American Revolution was aided by the French,
because. . .we get it. . . The French have ALWAYS hated
the British. 
 The French thought that if the Americans could fight and
win a battle, then they could fight a revolutionary battle
against their own country to better their lives as well.

4. Long Term Influence
 The American Revolution was proof
that Enlightenment philosophers were
not just mere utterances, but a lifestyle that could be
carried out to its full potential.
 It is possible that many, many, many nations have used the
American Revolution as “inspiration” towards their fights for
independence as well.
