This week we will investigate the many changes in the 19th century after the fall of Napoleon. We will discuss the effects of the industrial revolution, and how this would lead to an increase in imperialism, as well as a growth in nationalism among nations. We will also examine the emergence and growth of socialist thought and the influence of Karl Marx. We will also look at the growth of nation-states in Europe. Towards the end of the week we will discuss how all of these changes in the 19th century would cause problems in the early part of the 20th century, and eventually lead to the First World War!
