The first country in Latin America to -Thomas Paine: a dvocated liberty from Britain, also wrote about/defended win independence (which inspires more).

Attempts to limit the king and nobility led to various -Nationalism: feeling of intense loyalty to others who share language or events - storming of the Bastille, peasant uprisings, adoption culture; idea those who share a culture should have their own independent of the Declaration of the Rights of Man. The king refused nation (will lead to more modern states) limited monarchy, so radical groups helped establish the First -Socialism: economic and political system where means of production are French Republic in 1792...and the Reign of Terror, in which either owned by the public or by the workers; included the Fabian Society (ex. the government executed thousands of those who opposed the HG Wells, Virginia Woolf) revolution, including the king and queen (Marie Antoinette). -Zionism: d esire of Jews to reestablish an independent homeland in the Middle After more fighting and more fighting and even more fighting, East (where ancestors had lived); way to be safe against persecution by owning Napoleon Bonaparte takes over and declares himself emperor own land of France in 1804, where he will continue to impact France and the rest of Europe until his defeat at Waterloo. Key Info: Liberte, egalite, et fraternite (liberty, equality, fraternity), Estates General, Bastille, Third Estate, Declaration of Rights of Man, Reign of Terror, Louis XVI, Jacobins, Napoleon Bonaparte Outcome: see above - “it’s complicated.” Oceanian Revolutions: -New Zealand: B ritish control intensified after annexation in 1840, leading to wars between the Maori (Polynesians who had migrated there in the mid-1200s) and British called the New Zealand Wars. The Maori tribes band together in unity, but are defeated by British in 1872. Unification Movements: -Italy: Count di Cavour wanted to unite the Italian Peninsula rather than let it remain divided and broken up. Using realpolitik (practical politics of reality) he manipulated Napoleon III of France into a war with Austria, hoping to weaken Austrian power over the Italian Peninsula. This allowed alliances and unification on the peninsula due to popular referendum (vote). -Germany: Otto von Bismarck (also liked realpolitik) and wanted to further the nationalism taking place in Germany; so he engineered three wars involving Prussia, finally defeating France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870), allowing him to take territories won in the wars and form the new German (Leviathan Frontispiece, Abraham Bosse, 1651) Empire. -Ottoman Empire: wanted to become a more modern, unified state through Ottomanism: minimizing ethnic, linguistic, and religious differences across the empire. This actually led to more division than unity. OVERVIEW OF Causes/Origins Where Does it Spread/How Does it Evolve Industrial Overview: change in society and economics characterized by increased production in machine made France: while they had capital, natural resources, and water transportation (like goods Britain), several factors delayed French industrialization: Age/Industrial First Industrial Revolution: textiles, steam power, iron (18th and early 19th centuries) Sparsely populated urban centers Revolution Second Industrial Revolution: steel, chemicals, precision machinery, electronics (late 19th French Revolution (1789-1799) and early 20th centuries) Wars between France and neighboring countries ($$$) (part 1) Once they see political and economic stability, they industrialize Causes: (it’s a lot easier to invest in a factory when you don’t think your head is going to be chopped off…) -Agricultural Improvements: Agricultural revolution (includes crop rotation, seed drill, introduction of crops like potato Germany: while they also had capital, natural, resources, and water from New World): more food for more people means MORE PEOPLE transportation (like Britain), Germany faced delayed industrialization because MORE PEOPLE means more who can work in factories and more who can buy they were divided politically. manufactured goods Once they unify in 1871, they industrialize and become a leading producer of steel and coal -Pre-Industrial Societies: Cottage Industry (made to compete with cotton from India, creates textile manufacturing in United States: also has an abundance of resources (coal, timber, iron, oil) that Britain): women gain a bit more independence, but machines eventually replace home will evolve as the US moves west. Begins industrializing in 19th century and by spinning 1900 is a leading industrial force. One major factor: human capital (people migrated to the US from -Technological Innovations: help meet the demand for products faster and (usually) cheaper political and economic hardship, mostly from Europe and East Asia) Spinning Jenny: helps weavers spin faster, invented in 1760s by James Hargreaves Transcontinental Railroad (completed 1869) contributes to growth Water Frame: uses waterpower to drive a spinning wheel, invented in 1769 by Richard Arkwright, leads to factory system Russia: begins to industrialize with a focus on railroads to connect commercial Interchangeable Parts: allows for components of machines to be replaced rather than the and industrial areas (ex. Trans-Siberian Railroad); allows them to trade with whole machine itself, invented in 1798 by Eli Whitney, leads to division of countries in East Asia. labor/specialization of labor, and the factory a ssembly line (ex. Ford’s Model T line) Major industries: steel, coal, iron Remains mostly agricultural until after 1917 when Communists take -British Advantages: B ritain becomes a leader in industrialization for several reasons, but this will help power spark the spread of industrialization to other locations Geographic Location: Atlantic Ocean seaways, abundant rivers, Japan: first country in Asia to industrialize. Begins in mid-19th century, called Mineral Resources: abundance of coal, will help lead to iron and later steel production defensive modernization (adapting new technology from West, yet protecting Colonies: access to raw resources like timber, cotton, etc., trans-Atlantic Slave Trade its own culture). Other: strong fleets, government protection of private property, growing population and migrating population (from rural to urban areas) due to enclosure movement India and Southeast Asia: sees a decline in global manufacturing due to competition and policies from British colonization in 17th and 18th centuries. Ex. high tariffs on textiles, closure of mines Egypt: also sees decline with its textile industry due to competition from British industries OVERVIEW OF Developments: Governments: Society: Technology and Economy Roles and Reactions Developments and Challenges Industrial Technology in the First Industrial Revolution: (led As the West begins to industrialize other countries have to Society Overall: does standard of living increase or decrease?

Things they wanted or wanted to change: Dangerous, unsanitary work conditions Low wages and long hours Leads to: advocation for voting rights of working class, eventually voting rights for women, abolition of child labor Economic Impacts: -Philosophers: with the resulting shift to capitalism, some begin to think about alternatives that might help society. -Effects on Ideology: m ercantilism is abandoned in John Stuart Mill and Utilitarianism: wanted legal favor of new ideas like reforms to allow labor unions, limit child labor, and laissez-faire/capitalism/private entrepreneurship Japan: from 1600-1854 Japan restricted trade, remained ensure safe working conditions in factories (all before extremely isolated. This changes when Commodore Matthew these were a reality); not trying to end capitalism, but -Effects on Business Organization: there are new Perry demands Japan begin trade with US (outside world has adapt society; sought “the greatest good for the ways of organizing these during this era: been calling for trade too).
