The Enlightenment influenced The Age of Revolutions because of the new political ideas, and philosophers who existed in that time. This is evident in the French Revolution, the Brazilian Revolution, and Rio de la Plata.
The Enlightenment heavily influenced the French Revolution. Charles Montesquieu, a political philosopher created the idea of separation of power which can be seen in France’s government to this day (French Revolution). Philosophies from The Enlightenment also had a profound effect on Brazil’s Revolution. The political and philosophical ideas inspired Silva Xavier who was the first to revolt and try to implement a new government (Brazilian). In Rio de la Plata The Enlightenment helped create a revolution as well. San Martín, the major reason Argentina revolted from Spain’s power, was educated in Europe and well versed in the philosophical ideas from The Enlightenment (Rio de la Plata). All of this helped contribute to their “Acta de Independencia” which declared Argentina’s independence(Rio de la Plata).
