I really liked how Strayer described Chapter 16 Atlantic Revolutions, Global Echoes. What Strayer means by “echoes of Atlantic Revolutions” is that what happened in the Atlantic didn’t just stay within those countries but rather bounced off across the world. The wars were very costly and so countries borrowed money from others, creating debt. This debt cause alliance with other countries and I'm not sure those were good ideas. All these revolutions sparked changes. New ideas, connections and classes were born from the revolutions all across the world. Even today the echoes still exist and continue to exist. Some of the echoes were the End of slavery, feminist beginnings, nations and nationalism. Throughout history there have been many changes and there will continue to be changes. That's what makes history. It also seems that there has never been peace. There is always one nation trying to gain control. It even feels like there is always a battle or war to be fought. As an American, I feel like the war on terrorism will last my lifetime. Why? because I lived thought it. I was live and saw it happening before my eyes. Even though Osama Bin Laden is died, there will always be thousands of his soldiers waiting to take is place.
