Unit+4+Industrialization+and+the+Race+for+Empire

= Welcome to UNIT 4 - Industrialism and the Race for Empire! (You thought things moved quickly before? WAIT until you see how mankind moves in this next period of time - roughly 1700-1900) =


 * This unit describes the effects of the industrial revolution on Western nations and the nations' race to divide Asia and Africa among themselves. Colonial rule brings more hardships than benefits to native peoples, who eventually rebel against Western rulers. (from your text)**
 * Some Major Themes we will study:**
 * **The establishment of European nation-states and the role of Nationalism**
 * **Industrial revolution and its dramatic impacts on the world**
 * **Imperialism in Africa and Asia and how it still affects the world today**
 * **The reactions of regions of the world to Western economic domination**
 * **The march of democracy and progress for many (but certainly not all)**
 * **Impacts of the dramatic scientific and technological changes on societies**

=Class 15 A: 2/14, D&F: 2/15= =The rise of Nationalism=

__**The Ideals of Nationalism**__
Nationalism arose in the early 1800's as a relatively new point of view and it drove many of the changes that occurred during the 1800's and 1900's. The rise of modern nationalism is tied to the spread of democratic ideas and the growth of an educated middle class. People wanted to decide how they were governed, instead of having monarchs impose government on them.

If you can't see this image, it is the Bonds That Create a Nation-State, p. 254

In a nation-state, people are linked by such common bonds as government, culture, and history.

It is important to know that prior to the 19th century, most people did not identify themselves as being a citizen of a nation, but gave their loyalty to their city, to their family or to their religion. These were the things that defined your identity. But in the 19th century, people began to talk about "nations". Why?
 * revolutionary movements
 * the rise of democracies
 * reaction against Napoleon's empire building
 * Congress of Vienna's attempt to "turn back time" and restore the monarchies and //ancien regimes// (old orders)
 * independence movements
 * unification movements
 * attempts to suppress independence and unification movements

Impact of Nationalism

 * Nationalism** has positive and negative implications (e.g. extremely strong nationalistic feelings sometimes lead a group to turn against outsiders). Using the table below, record the positive and negative impacts of Nationalism. Use page 254 of the textbook to help you.

//Positive and Negative Impacts of Nationalism// Do you think nationalism has had a more positive or negative impact on the world? Support your opinion with evidence.
 * Positive Results || Negative Results ||

__**Types of Nationalist Movements**__

We have looked at the rise of Nationalism and the positive and negative impacts that it has had on the modern world. Now, we are going to investigate the effects of nationalism on a region. The rise of nationalism tends to either unify or separate people.

If you can't see this chart, it is Types of Nationalist Movements, p. 258



//1. Using the table above, explain the characteristics of each type of Nationalistic movement in your own words.// //2. What do you think would have happened to the empires (e.g. Austrian Empire, Ottoman Empire) during the rise of nationalism?//

__**CASE STUDY: Italy**__ Connect to[| online textbook]- pg 260 As we read about the unification of Italy, think about the role that nationalism plays in building a nation.

__**Key Skill: Analyzing Political Cartoons**__ Look at the cartoon on page 261 and complete the questions.

__**CASE STUDY: Germany**__ On your own, read about the unification of Germany (online textbook pgs 261-263). 1) Create a flow chart that shows the key events that led the unification of Germany. 2) Looking at the map on page 263, answer the two geography skillbuilder questions. 3) Design a national symbol for the newly formed Germany. Include symbols that best represent the spirit or values of the German people at this time. Write a short paragraph explaining your symbol and its significance.

//Example: South Korean Coat of Arms//

The **National Emblem of the Republic of Korea** consists in the taeguk symbol present on the country's national flag surrounded by five stylized petals and a ribbon bearing the inscription "The Republic of Korea" (Daehan Minguk), the official name of the country, in [|Hangul] characters. The taijitu (yin-yang) represents peace and harmony. The five petals all have meaning and are related to Korea's national flower (the Hibiscus syriacus, or Rose of Sharon). It was adopted in 1963.

=**Justifications for Imperialism**=

====

=== "By 'imperialism' I mean the process whereby the dominant politico-economic interests of one nation expropriate for their own enrichment the land, labor, raw materials, and markets of another people." [|Michael Parenti] ===

The act of imperialism has truly changed the face of this earth. The world's distrust towards nations with wealth become much clearer as the Age of Imperialism unfolds. The first example we will be looking at is the relationship between Europe and Africa. Here are some questions you should ask yourself while studying this unit.

1. Why did imperialism start in Europe? 2. What was the incentive of Europe to become imperialists over other countries? 3. Why was Africa imperialized? 4. How did imperialism change the world? 5. Do the benefits of imperialism outweigh the costs?

Discuss your responses to 'The white Man's Burden' with a partner.

Look at this [|image] and this [|article]. Would Marx have agree that these countries were "communist"? What has happened to the "communist" world (once called the "Second World", to distinguish it from the "First World" -- wealthy capitalist countries, and the "Third World" -- poor countries)? Why do you think this has happened? What do you think of the idea that the growing gap between the rich and poor in the industrialized world never materialized (see p. 270) because of the Union movement and reform laws?

On the map provided, complete the following:
 * Label and colour the countries that adopted communism
 * Indicate which countries are still communist today
 * Give your map a title and key

1) Looking at your map, which areas of the world adopted communism. Why did it rise in these areas? 2) What has happened to the spread of communism in the past 100 years. Why do you think this is?

Life in pre- (i.e. before the industrial revolution) times might have been difficult, poor and short, (remember the video clip we watched last class? Average life expectancy was under 40 years, and incomes were very low), but there were some good things about that time. Most farmers in Britain owned their own small farms and were able to feed themselves and make what they needed to survive, with enough surplus to sell at local markets for the cash to buy other necessary items like salt, tobacco (cigarettes weren't invented until late 19th century), tea and sugar. Most people kept at least a pig and chickens, and perhaps a goats or cows, which could be tethered on the village Common. A person didn't need much land to keep a family alive.

The Industrial Revolution

So how did these revolutions -- the Scientific Revolution, the Reformation (which was a //religious// revolution), the American, French, Haitian and all those other revolutions in Latin America -- how did these revolutions change the world? Remember the IDEA that there COULD be a revolution was something, well, revolutionary! Let's look again at the quote you chose as the centerpiece of your revolutionary poster. Do you still think it's appropriate? Would you choose a different quote if you could do it over?

So now we want to turn our attention to a different kind of revolution, a revolution that was about to change life for everyone, not just in one country, or region, but for the entire world: the Industrial Revolution. Probably nothing that we have studied so far has had as great an impact on the life you life today.

[|The Impact of the Industrial Revolution]


 * This was an exciting time for humanity but it also caused a lot of disruption and change which made some people uncomfortable with how fast things were moving (are there people like that today?)**
 * **There was an EXPLOSION of inventions and technological advances in agriculture, industry, transportation, communication...**
 * **Global power and wealth shifted to the industrialized nations**
 * **Economic and social systems were transformed as nations changed production and distribution methods**


 * We can get a feeling for how dramatic these changes were by examining the short chapter, "Men and Machines" from E.H. Gombrich's book, //A Little History of the World//**.

In groups of 3, I'd like you to read aloud this short introduction to the Industrial Revolution from Ernst Gombrick's //A Little History of the World// out loud. After each person finishes reading his/her section, the person to their right must "verbally annotate" what's been read. In other words, you must RESPOND to what you've just heard in the same way you use the bottom section of your Cornell notes to respond to readings. These responses could be:


 * questions that are raised by what's just been read
 * insightful connections with something you already know
 * comments on the author's point of view, opinion or perspective
 * musings about "how we know" what's being discussed
 * challenges (based on fact or knowledge, not on prejudice or emotion) to the validity of statements
 * comments about why this MATTERS
 * feelings or emotional response
 * efforts to deepen your understanding of what you've heard

Notice that __none of these interactions are SUMMARIZING__ what's been said. The job of summarizing what's been read is done by someone else in the group. Once a part of the reading (I suggest no more than 2 or 3 paragraphs) has been read, summarized and verbally annotated, switch roles and continue reading.
