Revolutions between 1778 and 1798

In addition to the American and French revolutions, all the revolutions below were happening last time Pluto was in Aquarius:

* The Haitian Revolution was a successful insurrection by self-liberated slaves against French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue, now the sovereign state of Haiti. The revolution was the only known slave uprising in human history that led to the founding of a state which was both free from slavery (though not from forced labor) and ruled by non-whites and former captives.

+

* The Irish Rebellion of 1798 was a popular insurrection against the British Crown in what was then the separate, but subordinate, Kingdom of Ireland. The main organizing force was the Society of United Irishmen.

* From 1780 to 1782, José Gabriel Condorcanqui, known as Túpac Amaru II, raised an indigenous peasant army in revolt against Spanish control of Peru.

* The Belgian Revolution of 1789–1790 was an armed insurrection that occurred in the Austrian Netherlands (modern-day Belgium) between October 1789 and December 1790. The revolution, which occurred at the same time as revolutions in France and Liège, led to the brief overthrow of Hapsburg rule and the proclamation of a short-lived polity, the United Belgian States.

* The Liège Revolution, sometimes known as the Happy Revolution, was against the reigning prince-bishop of Liège. It started on August 18, 1789 and lasted until the destruction of the Republic of Liège. The Liège Revolution was concurrent with the French Revolution, and its effects were long-lasting and eventually led to the abolition of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège.
