The Modern Period in AP WORLD: MODERN covers from 1750-1900
CE. This is very heavy on economic, social, and political change. The next two of the nine units in AP WORLD: MODERN are featured in this time period. See the chart below for the exact weighting: CLICK BELOW for pages dedicated to the TWO UNITS in this PERIOD.
Below are the ACTUAL
STANDARDS provided by the College Board for what you have to know for the 1750-1900 CE Period:The development of industrial capitalism led to increased standards of living for some, and to continued improvement in manufacturing methods that increased the availability, affordability,
and variety of consumer goods. The development of machines, including steam engines and the internal combustion engine, made it possible to take advantage of both existing and vast newly discovered
resources of energy stored in fossil fuels, specifically coal and oil. The fossil fuels revolution greatly increased the energy available to human societies. The development of the factory system concentrated production in a single location and led to an increasing degree of specialization of labor.
As the new methods of industrial production became more common in parts of northwestern Europe, they spread to other parts of Europe and the United States, Russia, and
Japan.
The “second industrial revolution” led to new methods in the production of steel, chemicals, electricity, and precision machinery during the second half of the 19th century.
Railroads, steamships, and the telegraph made exploration, development, and communication possible in interior regions globally, which led to increased trade and migration.
In industrialized states, many workers organized themselves, often in labor unions, to improve working conditions, limit hours, and gain higher wages.
Workers’ movements and political parties emerged in different areas, promoting alternative visions of society.
In response to the expansion of industrializing states, some governments in Asia and Africa, including the Ottoman Empire and Qing China, sought to reform and modernize their economies and militaries. Reform efforts were often resisted by some members of government or established elite groups.
In response to the social and economic changes brought about by industrial capitalism, some governments, organizations, and individuals promoted
various types of political, social, educational, and urban reforms. New social classes, including the middle class and the industrial working class, developed.
While women and often children in working class families typically held wage earning jobs to supplement their families’ income, middle-class women
who did not have the same economic demands to satisfy were increasingly limited to roles in the household or roles focused on child development. The rapid urbanization that accompanied global capitalism at times led to a variety of challenges, including pollution, poverty, increased crime, public health crises, housing shortages, and insufficient infrastructure to accommodate urban growth.
As states industrialized, they also expanded existing overseas empires and established new colonies and transoceanic relationships. European states, as well as the United States and Japan, acquired territories throughout Asia and the Pacific, while Spanish and Portuguese influence
declined. Many European states used both warfare and diplomacy to expand their empires in Africa. Europeans established settler colonies in some parts of their empires.
Industrialized states and businesses within those states practiced economic imperialism primarily in Asia and Latin America. The expansion
of U.S. and European influence in Asia led to internal reform in Japan that supported industrialization and led to the growing regional power of Japan in the Meiji Era.
A range of cultural, religious, and racial ideologies were used to justify imperialism, including Social Darwinism, nationalism, the
concept of the civilizing mission, and the desire to religiously convert indigenous populations.
The 18th century marked the beginning of an intense period of revolution and rebellion against existing governments, leading to the establishment of new nation-states around the world. People around the world developed a new sense of commonality based on language, religion, social customs, and territory. This was sometimes harnessed by governments to foster a sense of unity.
Newly imagined national communities often linked this new national identity with borders of the state, and in some cases, nationalists challenged boundaries or sought
unification of fragmented regions.
Colonial subjects in the Americas led a series of rebellions inspired by democratic ideals. The American Revolution, and its successful establishment of a republic, the United States of America, was a model and inspiration for a number of the revolutions that followed. The American Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, and the Latin American independence movements facilitated the emergence of independent states in the Americas.
Increasing discontent with imperial rule led to rebellions, some of which were influenced by religious ideas. Discontent with monarchist and imperial rule encouraged the
development of systems of government and various ideologies, including democracy and 19th-century liberalism. Discontent with established power structures encouraged the development of various ideologies, including those espoused by Karl Marx, and the ideas of socialism and communism.
As a result of the emergence of transoceanic empires and a global capitalist economy, migration patterns changed dramatically, and the numbers of
migrants increased significantly Migration in many cases was influenced by changes in demographics in both industrialized and unindustrialized societies that presented challenges to existing patterns of living. Because of the nature of new modes of transportation, both internal and external migrants increasingly relocated to cities. This pattern contributed to the significant global urbanization of the 19th century.
Many individuals chose freely to relocate, often in search of work.
The new global capitalist economy continued to rely on coerced and semi-coerced labor migration, including enslavement, Chinese and Indian indentured servitude, and convict labor. Migrants tended to be male, leaving women to take on new roles in the home society that had been formerly occupied by men. Migrants often created ethnic enclaves in different parts of the world that helped transplant their culture into new environments. Receiving
societies did not always embrace immigrants, as seen in the various degrees of ethnic and racial prejudice and the ways states attempted to regulate the increased flow of people across their borders.
56?!?! There are 56 people to know in the Modern Period?!?! Yup. But, don’t think “oh no, I have to learn 56 people for this period.” Rather, think “this is way better than the 76 that are in the next period”. 😎 I know… That’s a lot. Here’s the short version:1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
How did environmental factors contributed to industrialization?
The Industrial Revolution impacted the environment. The world saw a major increase in population, which, along with an increase in living standards, led to the depletion of natural resources. The use of chemicals and fuel in factories resulted in increased air and water pollution and an increased use of fossil fuels.
What contributed to the industrialization in the period 1750 to 1900?
New inventions contributed greatly to industrialization from 1750 to 1900 in Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas, but agricultural productivity and natural resources also played a part.
What were the effects of imperialism from 1750 to 1900?
Thesis: From 1750-1900 the effects of European imperialism led to the birth of nationalism within the colonies and colonists who led movements against , the exploitation of the land, labor and capital of Africa and Asia .
What ideologies contributed to the development of imperialism between 1750 1900?
A range of cultural, religious, and racial ideologies were used to justify imperialism, including Social Darwinism, nationalism, the concept of the civilizing mission, and the desire to religiously convert indigenous populations.
