Who were the Great people alive in 1815?

Answer 1

This is a ridiculous question. The answer is completely subjective, and one's list will always be affected by factors like political views, economic views, ethical and moral code, personal experiences, etc....

But, Here are some of the more influential events of the year you mentioned

* 1810s-20s: Most of the Latin American colonies free themselves from the Spanish and Portuguese Wars after the Mexican wars of Independence and the South American Wars of Independence

* 1812: The French invasion of Russia is a turning point in the Napoleanic Wars

* 1812-15: War of 1812 between the United States and the United Kingdom

* 1813-1907: The contest between the British Empire and Imperial Russia for control of Central Asia is referred to as the Great Game

* 1815: The Congress of Vienna redraws the European map. The Concept of Europe attempts to preserve this settlement, but it fails to stem the tide of liberalism and nationalism that sweeps over the continent.

* 1815: Napolean's defeat at Waterloo brings a conclusion to the Napoleonic Wars and marks the beginning of a Pax Britannica which lasts until 1870.
