Impact of William Wallace's personality on history

William Wallace impacted world history for Scotland by not only by gaining their freedom but showing that they are a country and can stand up for themselves. William defeated the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, was defeated at Falkirk and spent the next several years on the run, both in Scotland and on the continent, before being captured and cruelly executed as a traitor to England on August 23, 1305. William mad the best gain for Scotland and died for his country. The freedom that he gained is still in Scotland today and now people are able to not be "controlled" by kings and queens.
