World History: Nov. 28-Dec. 2
This week we will investigate the many changes of the 19th century after the fall of Napoleon. We will investigate the effects that these vast changes would have on the early part of the 20th century and the eventual break-out of the First World War. We will focus on the Industrial Revolution and the growth of progressive thought in Europe. We will examine the effects of Nationalism and Imperialism (Check out the British Imperialism Political Cartoon at left) as well. These factors played an important role in the growth of nation-states and the factors that led to WWI. Towards the end of the week we shall discuss and investigate the long-term and the immediate causes that led to World War I.
