  • Ideology in Revolution: Crucial role. Motivating individuals through new political, economic, or social ideas. Conflict between old and new ideals.
  • Gomburza Execution Impact: Filipino anger and desire for national identity fueled by the execution of the priests. Inspired fighting for freedom and Jose Rizal's writing.

S2: Cycle of Revolution

  • Revolution Cycle: Series of stages.
    • Flashpoints: Critical moments of confrontation between revolutionaries and old regime. Can be verbal or physical.
    • Armed Struggle: Violent clashes, leading to dispossession, death, and destruction as individuals and groups take sides.
    • Grab for Power: Overthrow of old regime, success depends on popular support and military backing.
    • Consolidation and Confrontation: New regime consolidates power, defeating counter-revolutionaries, and addresses grievances.
    • Division and Factionalism: Ideological divisions among new leaders and different visions for replacing the old regime.
    • Radicalization: Extreme violence and measures (like war, terror, price controls) by radical political leaders.
    • Moderation: Abandoning radicalism; restoring order, control, stability, and prosperity through policies that might mirror the old regime.

European Intellectual Revolutions (Page 397-402)

  • Scientific Revolution & Enlightenment: Marked significant changes in science, impacting technology and knowledge.
  • Scientific Thinking: Grounded in skepticism (verification of truth and reality), influenced by Renaissance humanism, and fueled by Protestant nations seeking a deeper understanding of the universe. Rationalism posits that natural laws are understandable by the human mind for societal progress.
  • Medieval vs. Modern Science: Medieval thinkers relied on ancient knowledge. Muslim scholars preserved science. The 16th-17th centuries saw the rise of scientific thinking using observation and experimentation.
  • Scientific Method: Inductive method (Bacon), Empiricism (knowledge through observation), Skepticism (Descartes), and observation guided by reason.
  • Heliocentric Model: Copernicus proposed that the sun is the center of the solar system. Kepler confirmed it, while Galileo's discoveries faced church opposition.
  • Scientific Discoveries: Newton's laws of gravity and motion; advancements in medicine (Vesalius, Harvey); microbiology (Leeuwenhoek); Chemistry (Boyle, Lavoisier); mathematical tools (calculus, mechanical calculators); deism.
  • Enlightenment: Focus on human society and civilization. Debate on whether a natural state is better for humanity. Salons were central spaces for debate.

S3: Scientific Revolution

  • Key Scientists: Copernicus, Cavendish, Kepler, Galileo, Maria Cunitz, Bacon, Descartes, Newton.
  • Scientific Method: Systemic approach to solving problems, involving data collection and validation.
  • Impact of Scientific Advancements: Changed perspectives on life, supported permanent scientific fields, promoted easier production, and challenged authority.

T3 U2: French Revolution - Causes and Context

  • Financial Setback: French losses in the Seven Years' War led to financial difficulties.
  • Social Inequality: Rigid social classes (First, Second, Third Estates); First and Second Estates did not pay taxes.
