Description:

From the 1720s until the early 20th century, hundreds of regional rebellions shook the countryside in Latin America, threatening the stability of colonial and national governments.

Case studies include the Mexican revolution (1910), Bolivian revolution (1952), Cuban revolution (1959), Nicaraguan revolution (1979), and the ongoing symbolic duel between the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) and the Mexican state, which began in 1994.
