The Making of the Americas is a complete overview of the Americas during the 1800s and early 1900s. It covers Latin America, the United States, and Canada.

This journey begins with the fervent cries for independence across Latin America, from the Grito de Dolores in Mexico to the liberating campaigns of Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín. We go through each nations struggle for independence, and the age of the caudillo. In Mexico, we cover the Mexican-American War, the French invasion and Franco-Mexican War, and the Mexican Revolution.

We then take a look at the formative years of the new nation of the United States, and go through it's numerous phases from the Federalist Era, the War of 1812, to the Jeffersonian and Jacksonian eras, to the Civil War, Gilded Age, and beyond. Throughout, we also look at the various themes of the day, like Manifest Destiny, slavery, democracy, the Old West, the Civil War, the incorporation of Alaska and Hawaii, and themes corruption and reform during the age of robber-barons.

We also cover the Spanish-American War, and the wars with native populations (Tecumseh's War, the Navajo Wars, Apache Wars, and Sioux Wars).

Our last chapter takes us to the British who remained north of the Americans after the American Revolution, as we delve into the making of Canada.

The Late Modern Series:
   • Phase 4: The Late Modern Period (1800...  

Welcome to Late Modern series of the World History Summarized project! The entire project is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, the project is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. This series "the Late Modern" takes place after our megadocumentaries "The Ancient World", "The Medieval World", and the "Early Modern". It will be divided into 6 or 7 videos about the Late Modern period (c. 1800 - 1945) all over the world, and will be called Phase 4. Once these videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 5, the FINAL PHASE of the project, but this series will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 6 or 7 parts.
