Study Notes
Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment
- Scientific Revolution (1500-1600s): A period of intellectual transformation, emphasizing observation, deduction, and experimentation (scientific method). Challenged prevailing church doctrines (e.g., Protestant Reformation).
- Key Figures:
- Copernicus: Proposed a heliocentric (sun-centered) model of the universe, challenging the geocentric (earth-centered) view.
- Galileo: Used telescopes to observe celestial bodies (e.g., moons of Jupiter, rings of Saturn), published scientific findings, facing conflicts with the Church.
- Newton: Developed laws of motion and universal gravitation, demonstrating the universe operates according to natural laws.
- Margaret Cavendish: A notable female scientist, producing significant scientific texts.
- Maria Winkelmann: A woman astronomer whose discoveries were often attributed to her male counterparts.
- Church Views: Jesuits embraced scientific advancements; however, other factions within the Catholic Church opposed new ideas, resulting in trials like Galileo's. Giordano Bruno, a vocal advocate for new views, was executed for heresy.
- Enlightenment (1600s-1800s): An era of "reason," emphasizing natural laws governing the universe and human society.
- Key Concepts: Rationalism (human capacity for reason), Progressivism (society's capacity for improvement), Liberalism (natural rights, limited government).
- Enlightenment Thinkers:
- Adam Smith: Developed economic principles for capitalism (e.g., "laws of operation").
- John Locke: Advocated for natural rights and the social contract, undermining the divine right of kings.
- Montesquieu: championed the separation of powers, aiming to limit monarchial power.
- Voltaire: Promoted religious tolerance and freedom of speech.
- Mary Wollstonecraft: early feminist.
- Olympe de Gouges: writer and activist.
Repercussions of Revolution
- Nationalism: The idea that a nation's interests supersede individual or local loyalties. This fostered unification efforts (e.g., Italy, Germany) and independence movements.
- Nationalism's Impact: Both unifying and divisive. It fostered competition and rivalries, which could lead to conflict (e.g., World War I).
- Abolition Movement: Focused on ending slavery, starting in Britain and evolving over decades. Despite progress, former slaves faced continued inequality.
- Feminist Movements: Enlightenment ideals influenced the rise of feminism. Maternal feminism focused on mothers as key to society. Figures like Elizabeth Cady Stanton launched movements for women's rights, and others, like Kartini and Empress Haruko, advocated for women's education and rights in specific regions and countries.
Atlantic Revolutions
- American Revolution: Colonists sought independence from British rule, influenced by Enlightenment ideas (popular sovereignty, natural rights). The Revolution was precipitated by actions such as the Stamp Act and Tea Acts and philosophical arguments concerning rights of the people.
- French Revolution: A period of significant social upheaval sparked by French bankruptcy, inequality among the estates/classes, poverty, and Enlightenment ideas. The Revolution sought to dismantle the absolute monarchy.
- Reign of Terror: A phase of extreme violence characterized by executions of perceived enemies of the revolution, led by Robespierre.
- The Haitian Revolution: The first successful slave revolt in the Americas in the 18th century. Driven by poor treatment of enslaved people in the colony of Saint-Domingue.
- Latin American Revolutions: Led by creole elites (e.g., Simón BolÃvar), these revolutions aimed for independence from Spanish and Portuguese colonial rule, leading to struggles over governance.
Industrial Revolution
- Agricultural Revolution (2nd): Improvements in farming techniques (fertilizer, crop rotation) led to higher yields and smaller farms and a larger labor pool, leading to enclosure movement.
- Industrial Revolution: Began in Great Britain due to resources, banking, population, stable government, leading to the rise of factories and machinery.
- First Industrial Revolution (1760-1840): Focused on textiles; marked the transition from cottage to factory production, along with innovations in steam power, spinning, and weaving.
- Second Industrial Revolution (1870-1914): Expansion of industrial activity; focused on electricity, petroleum, internal combustion engines, steel, and other advancements.
Social Hierarchies, Reactions to Industrial Economy
- Social Classes: Industrialization altered social structures, creating distinct classes (aristocracy, bourgeoisie, proletariat).
- Working Class: Faced challenging working conditions (low wages, long hours, unsafe conditions).
- Cities: Urbanization led to crowded living conditions and sanitation problems.
- Women: Experiences varied across classes. Middle-class women faced challenges of domesticity; working-class women were often employed in mills or domestic service.
- Child Labor: Common in factories and mines, facing harsh conditions. Reform movements emerged to address child labor.
- Capitalism vs. Socialism: Ideological struggles over the best approach to governing an economy.
- Capitalism, championed by Adam Smith, emphasized private ownership and laissez-faire economics.
- Socialism/communism (e.g., Marx and Engels) critiqued capitalist exploitation and advocated for communal ownership.
Industrialization Spreads
- Many countries adopted industrial practices, including the United States, Germany, Russia, and later Japan. These countries often adopted industrial practices based on the models of England.
- Russia: Initially under government control, industrialization fostered significant social unrest and revolutions; Russia adopted some industrial technologies.
- Japan: Forced into modernization by foreign powers (U.S.). It adapted to Western technologies and practices, eventually becoming an industrialized power.
