The History

Don't expect an extensive course. You will see here just some sample things from my collection. In the future I would like to establish here an interactive visitor's voting for the revolutions listed below (in order to do this, this page must move out of Geocities, or the Geocities staff must agree for placing appropriate CGI scripts). Now you can only see my votes with a brief explanation. Never hesitate to cast your votes by email, anyway.


England 1215: The Issue of Magna Carta
Helvetia 1291: Wilhelm Tell's crossbow (New!)
Netherlands 1579: A Sea Guerilla!
Haiti 1803: Voodoo revolution
France 1830: The July revolution
Belgium 1830: A Night at the Opera
France 1848: The February revolution
Russia 1917: Chapter One
Russia 1917: Chapter Two
Yugoslavia 1944: A linguistic joke
Bolivia 1952: Tin barons defeated
Portugal 1974: The Carnations Revolution

Explanation of votes:

+ + means: absolutely positive, the new social order established by the revolution was certainly far better than the previous one
+ means: quite positive, though I have some mixed emotions
0 means: I have nothing but mixed emotions
- means: quite negative, though I have some mixed emotions
- - means: absolutely negative, the new social order established by the revolution was certainly far worse than the previous one
