    Throughout history, countries have expanded their empires to create the largest and most powerful on the globe. Napoleon and Alexander the Great had two of the most controlling empires ever created, and Great Britain's in the early 1800's was another of the best. During this time, many empires started expanding to make greater and more commanding kingdoms. Great Britain greatly grew in the 19th century.

Ideology, geopolitics, and material interests encouraged the rebellions in both the American and Latin American independence movements. While very similar in cause, each revolution occurred in different ways and was influenced by different leaders. Thomas Jefferson was a prominent leader of the American Revolution while Jose de San Martín was a significant figure in the independence movement for Latin America.
