    Study Notes

    Era 4 Consequences

    • Conscription, or the draft, started in France during the first revolution. It led to the development of "nations."
    • Nationalism developed, with the belief that a person's country, rather than just their king or family, is worth fighting and potentially dying for.
    • British Dominance, Napoleon was unable to invade Great Britain. Wealthy British banks took advantage of French assets to further develop.
    • The first Industrial Revolution was fueled by "seed money" from French expatriates. Banks invested in research and development of textile industries, and steam engines for power (until 1865).
    • Imperialism—British steam-powered ships controlled global trade routes (choke points). This dominance persisted until 1914.
    • Social Darwinism, British scientists used "eugenics" to justify their global dominance. (until 1945)

    Wealthiest Man in The United States

    • John Jacob Astor, a German immigrant, was a butcher who started trading furs for Great Lakes furs with Great Britain and France to trade with China (1800's)
