October 12


I went through a presentation/lecture today on "Historical Globalization and Imperialism" which I will be sending to you. Please read Chapter 7 in your textbook, and start working on those key terms and questions, they will be due soon enough. Please review Unit 1 this weekend in preparation for your Unit Final Exam on Wednesday. Here is the study guide for your Unit 1 Final Exam:
  • Unit 1 Final Exam will be Wednesday, October 17th
  • The format for the exam is entirely multiple choice
  • It will consist of 55 multiple choice questions
  • 60-65% of the questions will be "source-based" questions, while the remainder will be simply knowledge and comprehension style questions
  • In other words, the source-based questions will use political cartoons, timelines, a chart or diagram, a graph, a reading, a photo or a map, and you will have answer questions related to that source
  • The source-based questions will be difficult to prepare for. You must have a firm grasp of the concepts and key terms that were introduced in Unit 1, because that will allow you to apply the knowledge that you have to answer the multiple choice questions
  • Please study your key terms from Chapters 1-5, and the topics covered in that unit


Your task this weekend is to study for your Nationalism Unit Final, which is on Monday. You also have your Industrial Revolution booklet due on Tuesday, but for now concentrate on that unit final, it's worth a lot! Here is a link to the study guide.

Each of your Unit Finals will consist of approximately 50-65 multiple choice questions.

umm...why did the industrial revolution spread to other countries around the world? thanx

-----------------------
The Industrial Revolution spreads to other countries because other countries see the benefits of industrialization, and in order to stay competitive in the global marketplace they need to change the way they produce goods.

mr G
i dont really get the Revolutions of 1830 and 1848...
so the revolutions happened becuz the nationalists/liberlists disliked the result of Congress of Vienna?

-----------------------
Essentially you've got it. The Congress of Vienna restores absolute monarchs to power around Europe, and the ideas of liberalism and nationalism are largely ignored by the Congress. This is going to lead to problems down the road. The 1830 revolutions in France and in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands would lead to the establishment of constitutional monarchies. There are a wide variety of causes of the revolutions of 1848: liberalism, nationalism and socialism had an influence.

Make sure you can answer those questions from the study guide on those revolutions, and then you're covered.

----------------------------
Yes, I make the study guide by looking at the test and making sure that all the topics that you would need to know are in the guide.

in the study guide, u said "old regime". is it alright if we only know about the social hierarchy in the old regime, or do we have to know something else too.

---------------------------
It would be a good idea to know about the social hierarchy/structure of French society. The privileged classes and unprivileged classes, the three estates, and that the Old Regime could be characterized as having the following: an absolute monarchy, an unjust social structure, and an unfair taxation system. Does this help?

Read that older post, that's where the study guide is located.

--------------------------
In "The Congress of Vienna" presentation there is a glossary at the end of it that has some of these key concepts defined. You should know what these "-isms" mean at the very minimum. Think about that 19th century continuum/political spectrum too.

so what do we have to know about the age of metternich and bismarck?
and for the revolutions of 1830-45, do we have to know about each and every one? there are sooooo many...

-----------------------
Please check the study guide again for these topics. For the Revolutions you should be able to make generalizations/general trends for the causes of these revolutions, and where they took place. For the Age of Metternich, that is the period starting with the Congress of Vienna. So please check the presentation on the Congress of Vienna and Chapter 5 again. For the Age of Bismarck, you need to know who Bismarck was, and the role that he played in the unification of Germany. It's also a good idea to know about his foreign and domestic policies as that's part of the unification process.

------------------------
Those are the essentials, so you should know them extremely well.

----------------------
Yes, I think the two presentations "Unification of Italy and Germany" and "The Age of Bismarck" cover things well enough, it's better than re-reading Chapters 8 and 9.

-----------------------
No.

the causes of most of the revolutions of 1830-45 had a common cause - the reactionary ways of the congress of vienna, right?
