One thought on “The Dawn of a New Era

  1. I like how you summarized your revolution effectively in a way that is easy to understand. I especially like the intro, which catches people’s attention very effectively, and the way you bring in pictures one by one so it is simple to follow. One thing that I thought was interesting is that the French Revolution went from a monarchy to a democracy, while the Mexican Revolution went from a dictatorship to a democracy.
