October 10

As you could probably tell, I've been sick for most of the week, so I decided to call in sick today to see if I could kill off this cold. My apologies for not being in class today. I hope you all have a great long weekend.



You were given class time today to work on your Chapter 8 Key Terms and Questions, these are due on Tuesday. Hopefully, you finished them off in class, so you don't have to them over the weekend. This would be a great weekend to get together with your partner (if you have one) and work on your Imperialism Research Project. The final product for this project could be a movie, a dossier report, a PowerPoint presentation, or a poster. We'll talk more about this next week. Your Imperialism Research Project will be due on Thursday, October 23rd. Please have a look at the Chapter 7 Quiz Study Guide below.



This quiz will have three sections: a matching section, a multiple choice section, and a short answer section.
1. Key Terms for Chapter 7 Quiz:

  • historical globalization
  • the Silk Road
  • international trade
  • the Columbian exchange (the grand exchange)
  • mercantilism
  • capitalism
  • free market
  • Adam Smith
  • entrepreneur
  • communism
  • industrialization
  • the Industrial Revolution
  • cottage industries
  • cottage system
  • physiocrats
  • exploitation
  • imperialism
  • Eurocentrism
  • ethnocentrism
  • European imperialism
  • "old" imperialism
  • "new" imperialism
  • colony
  • protectorate
  • sphere of influence


2. Study the Questions for Inquiry from Chapter 7 (be able to answer these questions using case studies and examples that we have covered in class):

  • What were the beginnings of global trading networks?
  • What values are associated with capitalism?
  • Whose values did industrialization effect?
  • Why did England industrialize before other European powers?
  • What were some of the effects of the Industrial Revolution?
  • In what ways did imperialism benefit one people over another?


Most of today's class was spent watching the video "The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler", and taking notes on key events in the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in Germany. This video will provide us with nice background information when we look at appeasement next week. If you haven't read the Interwar Years booklet yet, I strongly urge you to do so. There's a wealth of information in that booklet that will come in handy on your upcoming Unit 2 Final Exam.
