			Through out South and Central America you see a pull between centralist and federalist states. There also tends to be repeating patterns of elites aligning themselves with military powers to maintain control. Between 1829 and 1867 much of Mexicos land is ceded to the US.

			Napolean captures Ferdinand VII and inprisions him, installing his brother Joseph as the king of Spain.

			In South America you have "Peninsulares", Spaniards that have moved to the Spanish American colonies. They make up less than 1% of the populations. Creoles were people of pure European ancestry, they made up about 20% of the population. 40% of the population had ancestry of both European and native or African ancestry. And finally 40% would be native or African. This leads the colonies to stay loyal to Spain because they need the military to keep populations under control.

			This leads to some strange alliances. The elite will decide to take a revolutionary stance, leading the common people to ally with the king and Spanish army.

			By 1820, Spanish rule is gone.

			Napolean declares himself emperor of the newly formed French Empire. Lots of fighting. France doesn't really grow in all of this, but the Austro-Hungarian empire does and so does the Prussian state.

			After the defeat of Napolean, the Holy Alliance was formed between Austria-Hungry, Prussia and Russia to oppose revolutionary thinking and uprisings.

			Spain controls most of South America. But it was seen as weak in Europe because of mis-rule under Charles IV.

			Slaves take over San Domingue lead by General Toussaint L'Ouverture.

			In 1802 Napolean seeks to make peace with Britain and Spain so that his ships can safely cross the Atlantic. He arranges, in secret, to buy back Louisiana for some land in Tuscany. New Orleans is important for shipping. And Bonapart is sending a expeditionary force.

			In 1803, after a number of troubles, Napolean decides it isn't worth the effort. Pulls out and sells the land to the US (Louisiana Purchase).

			They throw out the National Constituent Assembly and establish a National Convention with representatives of common people. Then they kill a whole bunch (about 1400) of political prisoners - justified as "necessary" and people have to "take sides".

			This leads to "monism", the nation should speak with one voice and cannot tolerate dissent. This philosophy leads to consolidated government. This stands in contrast to pluralism, which encourages the separation of government (federal/state, judicial/executive/legislative).

			The "Committee of Public Safety", lead by Robespierre decided who the enemies of the state are. The executions committed under this jurisdiction through 1793 and early 1794 is know as the reign of terror. So the whole country is at war, with itself and outside enemies. In 1794 Robespierre was overthrown and he himself went to the guillotine in July. Some historians cast Robespierre as forerunner to Hitler and Lennin.

			This leads to the rise of the Bourgeois Republic from 1794-1799. This was the republic of Napoleon who later replaces it with a Consulate, he was the first Consul.
