The French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars inspired the formation of the first republic of the Western Hemisphere governed by former slaves (I) and revolutions throughout Central and South America leading to new states independent of Spain and Portuguese imperial controls (III). It also inspired a line of conservative thought that societies needed stability and change should come very gradually rather than risk dramatic turmoil (IV).
