What developments in science, intellectual affairs, and the arts in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries "opened the way to a modern consciousness"?

(basically modernism) The Emergence of Realism --belief in the material --rejected Romanticism Natrualists: was a continuation of realism it lacked an underlying not of liberal optimism about people and society were pessimistic about Europe's future. and portrayed characters caught in the grip of forces beyond their control Modernists Art: -Impressionism: a movement originated in france when artists rejected the studios and muesums and went to paint in the country side, however also painted of roads, and towns and city life in action, sought originaty distintion from past works. utilized bright colors dynamic brushstrokes and smaller private scale. -Post-impressionism: retained impressionist emphasis on light and color but revolutionized it even further by paying more attention to structure and form. Sought to use both color and line to express inner feelings and produce a personal statement of reality rather than just imitating objects. --Cézanne: sought to express visually the underlying geometric structure and form of everything he painted. --Millet -Pissarro: sought to put into their painting their impression of the changing effects of light on objects in nature. -Claude Monet: captured the interplay of light water and atmosphere expecially evident in Impression, Sunrise. -Brethe Morisot: first femal painter to join impressionists developed her own unique style. Literature: --Gustave Flaubert -- "Madame Bovary" --William Thackeray -- "Vanity Fair" --Charles Dickens Music: --Liszt: "symphonic poem" --Wagner: ----"leitmotiv"human voice blends with orchestra. ----Nationalist "The Ring of the Nibelung" (Ring Cycle) - The Newtonian world view included the following principles: 1) Time, space, and matter were objective realities that existed independently of the observer. 2) The universe was a giant machine whose parts obeyed strict laws of cause and effect. 3) The atom, indivisible and solid, was the basic unit of matter. 4) Heated bodies emitted radiation in continuous waves. - Max PLANCK (1858-1947), a German physicist, proposed the quantum theory, which holds that a heated body radiates energy not in a continuous unbroken stream, as had been believed, but in intermittent spurts or jumps called quanta. - EINSTEIN: Theory of relativity - altered classical concepts of space and time. -Signmund freud

Describe the scientific contributions of the following people. Albert Einstein: Max Planck: Marie and Pierre Curie:

-Albert Einstein: "the Electro-Dynamics of Moving Bodies" that contained his speical theory of relativity, where space and time are not absolute but relative to the observer, and were woven to what Einstein called a four-dimensional space-time continuum. He concluded that matter was nothing but another form of energy. His formula, E=msquared ech particle of matter is equivalent to its mass times the square of the velocity of light. -Max Planck:rejected the belief that a heated body radiates energy in a steady stream but maintained instead that energy is raditated discontinuously in irregular packets that he called "quanta". the quantum theory raised fundamental questions about the subatomic realm of the atom. -Marie and Pierre Curie:discovered that the element radium gave off rays of radiation that apparently came from within the atom itself. Atoms were not simply hard, material bodies but small worlds containing such subatomic particles as electrons and protons that behaved seemingly random.

5. What political problems did Great Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia face between 1894 and 1914, and how did they solve them?

-Britain: the working classes: Trade unions and the labor party were forcing liberals to adopt to significant social reforms. they wanted more radical changes for the economic system since the governent wasnt helping start these reforms. a movement of laborers emerged among a group of intellectuals known as the Fabian Socialists who stressed the need for the workers to use their rights to vote to capture the House of Commons and pass legislation hat would benefit the laboring class. these groups werent Marxist. favored evolution toward a socialist state by democratic means. The liberals that gained control over the House of Commons in that year held the government from 1906- 1914, thought they would enact a social welfare program or lose the support of the workers. The National Insurence Act of 1911 provided benefits for workers in case of sickness and unemployment to be paid for by the compulsory contributions from workers, employers, and the state. -Italy: liberls had roblems in italy, a certain amount of stability was achieved when the liberal leader, Giovanni Gioletti served intermittenly as prome minister and was the master of transformation, a system in which old political groups were transfomed into new gov. coalitions, by political and economical bribery. However, his devious effects in the long term, made Italy corrupt and unmanagable. When urban workers turned to violence to protest their livng ad working conditions, Giolitti tried to appease them with Social welfare legislation and universal male suffrage to make him look good but it really didnt do much. -France: evidence of renewed anti-semitism in europe. Alfred Drefus a jew was accused for selling secrets and condmned to death. Evidence emerged for his innocence.

Moderate republicans lost control to radical repiblicans who were determined to amke greater progress toward a more democratic society by breaking the power of the Republican's enemies., especialy the army of the catholic church. The churhc and state were officially separated in 1905 and during the next tow years, te government siezed church property and stopped paying lerical salaries. As a small nation, france lagged far behind great Britain, germany, and the united states in industrial activity. Moreover, after the industrialization france relaized it had done little to help the working class memebers and their discontent. The french parliament felt pressured toenact labor legislation. This made strikes more appealing to the working class. -Germany: Germany had become the strongest military and industrial powe on the Continent. New social configurations had emerged. THe growth f expansion led to even gerater expansion for the Social Democratic Party. William II was no more successful at slowing the growth of Social Democrats. It had become the largest single party int eh Reichstag. Its growth frightened the middle and upper classes who blamed labor for their own problems. Conservatives especially landowning nobility and representatives of heavy industry (two of the powerful ruling groups in Germany), tried to block it by supporting William II's activist foreign policy. German society had problems between modernization and keeping old traditions that was manifested in a new, radicalized right-winged politics. -Austria-Hungary: had problems with havinf numerous nationalities. the granting of universal male suffrage in 1907. As Austrial industralized, two working class parties came to exsistence both strongly inc]flucence by nationalism. The social Democrats were marxists, and the Christain Socialists who were more nationalist and anti-semetic. Whie subjagating their nationalities, the ruling Magyars in Hunagry developed a movement for complete separation from Austria. When they demanded the hungarian army be separated from the imperial army, Emperor Francis Joseph as King of Hungary acted forcefully and threatened to impose universal male suffrage on Hungary a move that would challenge Magyar domination of the minorities. Kept and mainted the Dual Monarchy becasue Hungarian leaders fell in line with the parliamentary leader. -Russia: Whitte;s program made possible the rapid growth of a modern steel and coal industry in Ukraine. so the result with mass industrialization was oppressed people and more socialist parties. With industalization came factories an industrial working class, industrial suburbs around Saint Petersburg and Moscow, and pitiful working conditions. Socialist thought and socialist parties developed although Russia soon force them to go underground to become revolutionary. Nicholas II made it very autocratic oppressed socialist groups. The Marxist Social Democratic Party held its first congress in Minsk in 1898 but the arrest of its leaders cause the next one to be in Brussels in 1903. The growing oppistion of the tarist regime exploded in the revolution of 1905, becuase before, the Social Revolutionaries worked to overthrow the tarist autocracy and establish peasant socialism, haivng no other outlet they advocated for political terrorism.

The liberal Millicent Fawcett: organized a moderate group who beleived that women must demonstrate that they would use political power responsibly if they wanted parliament to gran them the right to vote. -Efforts for peace: In many countries, women supported peace movements, Bertha von Sutter: became head of the Austrian Peace Society and protested against the growing arms race of the 1890s. Lower class women also took up the cause of peace. -"New Woman": these women renounced traditional feminine roles, although some of them supported political idealogies such as socialism that flew face of the ruling classes, other simply sought new freedom outside the household and new roles as women that wasn't wives or mothers.
