Hi, I'm John Green, this is Crash Course World History, and today things are going to get a little bit confusing because we're going to talk about revolution and independence in Latin America. It's a bit confusing because 1. Latin America is big, 2. It's very diverse, 3. Napoleon makes everything complicated, and 4. As we've seen in the past, sometimes revolutions turn out not to be that revolutionary. Witness for instance the New England Revolution, who instead of like trying to form new and better governments are always just kicking balls around like all the other soccer teams.
