In chapter 15, first half, the chapter of the chapter covers many important events. One of the main points was the overall concept on what eurocentrism is, which is basically the europeans believing they are elite over others. Many ideas from all places like, the french, africa, europe and more bounced many ideas off of each other that have to do with how they want their country to be. The chapter then discusses all the revolutions that had taken place. In the North American Revolution was basically breaking free from the british and becoming their own which ultimately led to the D.O.I. In the French Revolution, was a very interesting one. that one involved the development of the guillotine to basically ensure that it was getting the job done when they wanted to get rid of people. This revolution was based off the problem of how there were only 3 votes total. one for each of the estates. the problem was that since the 3rd estate was such a large population, they believed that this was finally their chance for there to be some change, but of course, the 1st and 2nd estate ultimately screwed them over and had them continue paying for all the tax stuff. The Haitian revolution discusses the concept of slaves finally being free. finally the Spanish American revolution regarded also being independent but it took so much longer than it did for like the north american revolution partially because of how all the societies in Latin America were divided.

Module 1:  How did the Industrial Revolution transform British society?  Before the Industrial Revolution, the aristocrats were pretty much at the top. They were the ones who had control over things being the dominant class of Britain. Before the revolution, there were many families, (appox. more than half) who had owned more than half of the land, and they would use a majority of it for people who would farm, which also provided work for others. The change occurred  when it came to the rise of urban wealth. It brought a huge decline to the landowners since they had to make room for all the new things that were coming in like businessmen, manufacturers, and bankers. one of the things that had the biggest effects on them was when the tariffs on the high foreign imports that were protecting the British were abolished. the ones who really owned property, were the ones who had money or were businessmen as opposed to simply having it just from being an aristocrat. They were ...

Module 6 2) What was distinctive about the end of Europe’s African and Asian empires compared to other cases of imperial disintegration? Many empires like, Assyrian, Romans, Arabs, and Mongols had their empires end due to being overtaken, whereas with Europe’s African and Asian empires the end had been associated with the mobilization of masses around a nationalist ideology. Many empires had collapsed in the twentieth century. As well as the Austrian as well as the Ottoman, following the end of World War I. Following, the Russian Empire falling apart even being under the Soviet Union. Then following World War II, the fall of both the German and Japanese empires.

Module 4 Read the section on fascism in chapter 20 of our textbook. You do not need to read the entire chapter. Then spend 30 minutes doing self-guided research on the internet about fascism.  Fascism was known as something that was said all across Europe. It was something that was known as being nationalistic, and to purify the nation. The spokesman of it all was all for violence towards enemies. With the renewing force in society, many placed their faith in a leader. Fascists also were against individualism, liberalism, feminism, parliamentary democracy, and communism because they viewed it as something that only weakened the nation. There were small fascist movements in many Western European countries, as well as France, Great Britain and the Netherlands. There were more movements that took place in places like Austria, Hungary, and Romania. In Italy, the nation had barely become unified in 1805, but was short lived due to Northern Italy eventually creating tension. Mus...
