AP World History Concept 5 Industrialization and Global Integration
Communism
1848 - Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels publish Communist Manifesto - their critique of capitalism Capitalism divides the society into two basic classed Proletariat - working class (factories, mines) with little compensation Bourgeoisie - middle class/capitalist - who owned the machinery and factories where the working class produced goods - exploiting the protetariat endlessly for the sake of profit. The struggle between the owners of the machinery and the workers who worked the machines (physical/dangerous work) and received very little compensation will result in an uprising where the workers take control of the means and share the profits equally This will usher in an era of equality and justice
Japan (1867)
1867 - The last shogun abdicated and restored the emperor to power after daimyo uprisings - putting the emperor back into the day to day running of the government
Ottoman Empire (Ali as a Reformer)
Ali as a Reformer Acted independently from the sultans Made Egypt's army modern in based on European model Introduced the practice of conscription (all men - even peasants) Established schools Taxed peasants high so they would be forced to give up lands - putting valuable land in the hands of the government (cotton production) Secularized religious lands Put Egypt on path of industrialization - built factories & shops Built a modern navy
Industrial Revolution (Background)
Background Began in Britain - eventually spreads to other countries in northwest Europe and North America (eventually into Japan and Russia) During 18th century - most families in Britain lived in rural areas, grew their own food and mode their own clothes Wool and flax had been raised domestically - fabric spun in their homes Result of British imperialism - especially in India - Indian cotton became available and became high in demand (wool and flax could not be produced as fast or in as much quantity) British create cottage industry system (using cotton from slave labor in N. America) to compete with Indian cotton - have women weave cotton in their homes (hard work/low pay - degree of independence) - very slow Investors wanted a new/faster way to increase production
Creole Revolutions in Latin America (Background)
Background Creoles - born of European parents in the Americas Well educated and well aware of enlightened ideas Understood the reasons behind the American and French Revolutions Considered themselves superior to the mestizos and Africans Wealthy landowners, mine owners, and businesspeople
Haitian Revolution (Background)
Background Haiti - western end of the island of St. Domingue French colony - rich land - sugar and coffee Escaped Slaves - (Maroons) - revolted against white masters, killing them and burning down their homes (Maroons were located in the Mountains) Inspired by American and French Revolutions - rebellion grows
Japan (Background)
Background - Isolation Conscious decision by Japan to remain isolated from 1600 - 1854 Early brushed with the Portuguese and Dutch made Japan withdraw Eventually Japan yields to pressure from the U.S. and Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853 when four ships forced their way into Yedo and Tokyo - asking for trading privileges 1854 - Perry returns with more ships and demands more trading ports be open - Japan gives in (Britain, Netherlands and Russia all follow suit) Japan opened itself up to western technology while avoiding the issues China and Ottoman Empire were having with European influence Japan rapidly modernized but kept many social traditions Anti-foreign feelings begin to arise after Japan signs treaties with Western nations that allowed extraterritoriality and privileges (Japanese nobles and samurai were impoverished and forced to agree)
American Revolution
Background/Causes - French and Indian War (Seven Years War) - 1st Global War - Ends with British victory over French - removes France from Canada & India - Very expensive war leads to... - Taxes - Direct/Indirect Taxes - No colonial representation in Parliament "No Taxation without Representation" Major Events Leading up to War - Stamp Act Congress - Boston Massacre - Boston Tea Party - 1st/2nd Continental Congress - Declaration of Independence - Inspired by John Locke's idea of natural rights - Pushed by Thomas Paine's Common Sense - Treaty of Paris 1783 - Gave America independence - New nation goes from Maine to northern Florida and as far west as the Mississippi River - American Constitution - 1787 - Replaced Articles of Confederations (1777 - 1787) - Creates 3 branches of Government (Judicial, Legislative, Executive) - Illustrated the idea of separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism - Bill of Rights added (1st 10 amendments) to protect individual rights
Development of Nations
Beginning in the 18th century, people around the world developed a new sense of commonality based on language, religion, social customs, and territory. These newly imagined national communities linked this identity with the borders of the state, while governments used this idea to unite diverse populations
Industrial Revolution (Effect)
Effects of the Industrial Revolution - Effects on Families Families not longer worked in close proximity - now they had to leave home to go to work 14 hours a day in a factory - 6 days a week - low wages - Child Labor was used to earn more money or to fit into tight spots Effects on Urban Areas Industrialization increased urbanization Little government planning for the growth of cities left a damaging effect - tenements/slums developed Unsanitary conditions were breading grounds for disease Effects on Class Structure New classes emerged (working class/slum dwellers) Unskilled labor left the workers more easily replaced Educated people became the management (white collar and blue collar jobs are developed) The creation of wealthy industrialists (Captains of industry or Robber Barons) soon overshadowed the landed aristocracy Effect on Women's Lives Many women went to work for money - half pay of men Some women became house wives - Middle class - became a status symbol of an well-off family The beginning of the cult of domesticity - leading to advertisers encouraging women to buy items Pamphlets instructed middle-class women on how to care for the home, raise children, behave in polite society and urged them to be pious, submissive, pure, and domestic Feminism was spurred on (Seneca Falls ) - seeking equality for women Effects on Mass Culture Created a culture of consumerism More leisure time with disposable income Effects on Environment Burning of fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas) - harmful to environment Water pollution, Air pollution became commonplace Effects on Business Organization New ways to organize businesses Giant Cororations - minimized risk - corporations is a business chartered by a government as a legal entity owned by stockholders (individuals who buy partial ownership directly from the company when it is formed or later through a stock market) Stockholders might receive sums of money, known as dividends, from a corporation when it makes a profit The most a stockholder can lose is what they paid for the original stock Monopolies - when one business controls all aspects of a specific business - eliminating competition
Creole Revolutions in Latin America (Bolivar Revolutions)
Bolivar Revolutions - South America Creoles desire for independence from Spain but refuse to support the masses of people (the mestizos, Indians, and mullattos ) out of fear of the radical violence Simon Bolivar - creole - supports enlightenment ideas and becomes instrumental in the independence of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru Bolivar's goals and concerns for Latin America is seen in his "Jamaica Letter" (1815) His fighting and liberation movement created the Gran Colombia - attempting to model the federation after the U.S. and rule by Enlightened ideas. Bolivar was president of the Gran Colombia - a vast area of northern South America made up of present day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, northern Peru, western Guyana, and northwest Brazil. The Gran Colombia was broken up after Bolivar's death into Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador in 1830 Jose de San Martin South American creole who defeated the Spanish to establish an independent government He set up independent republics of Argentina (1816) Chile (1821) and Bolivia By 1825 - most of South America was independent and all of the new republics were born from Enlightenment thought
Comparing Haitian & French Revolutions
Both grew out of the Enlightenment's idea of natural rights and citizenship Both argued that legal restraints were limiting the freedom of people but placing them into certain classes or estates (Haitian was more severe since it was led by slaves who had no rights) Poverty plagues Haiti while France, the protection of property and reform in taxation helps France's economy recover and thrive Both increased Freedom France saw the destruction of feudalism and the legal establishment of the estates Haiti saw the abolishment of slavery and increased rights of the citizen
Creole Revolutions in Latin America (Brazil)
Brazil 1807 - Portuguese Prince John fled Portugal after the attack by Napoleon and ruled Brazil 1821 - Prince John moves back to Portugal and rules as King John VI His son, Dom Pedro I stayed in Brazil as their leader When the Portuguese government threatened Brazilian autonomy, Brazil threatens revolution Dom Pedro sided with Brazil and declares Brazil's independence - naming himself Emperor Pedro I (constitutional monarchy) Stays a monarchy until 1889 - until a conservative coup led by the military and upper class create a republic
Imperialism (India)
British East India Company established commercial relationship with Mughal Empire British use native Indians to police their holdings in India - called sepoys (consisted of both Muslims and Hindus - led by British officers). Sepoy Mutiny - 1857 - began when Muslims believed rifles were greased with pig fat and Hindus believed it was greased with cow fat (believed British were trying to convert them to Christianity) Smaller cause for the uprising was the Sepoy's believed they were going to fight in China for the British during the Opium Wars Result was the death of thousands of Indian soldiers and the removal of the British East India Co. and the take over of India by the crown - the last Mughal Emperor was arrested and exiled. The British crown - under the government of the raj colonial government - ruled India until 1947
Japan
Japan made rapid changes to a modern/industrialized country - less than 50 years
Creole Revolutions in Latin America (Causes)
Causes Creoles wanted independence from Spain due to Spain's mercantilist policies (required colonists buy only Spanish goods and seel their good only to Spain) All important government jobs in the colonies went to the Peninsulares - causing Creole resentment and desire for more political power Mestizos also wanted political power and the ability to share in the wealth of the colonies
Industrial Revolution (Causes)
Causes of Industrial Revolution Growth of Technology Spinning Jenny - James Hargreaves - allowed a weaver to spin more than one thread at a time - 1760s Water Frame - Richard Arkwright - 1769 - used waterpower to drive the spinning wheel (doomed the home cottage system - moved the work to factories to house bulky equipment) - creating the factory system Interchangeable Parts 1798 - Eli Whitney (cotton gin) - created a system of interchangeable parts for manufacturing firearms for U.S. military replacing the broken component of a machine instead of the entire product Entrepreneurs use this idea to other manufactured products Unskilled laborers were in demand more now - not needing skilled laborers to craft every component of a product - leading to a division of labor among workers This same idea leads Henry Ford to develop the assembly line Steam Engine Created by James Watt - 1765 - harnessed coal power to create steam - which in turn generated energy for mechanical devices in textile factories Used in Railroads and eventually on ships Population Growth Agricultural Revoltion (slightly pre-dates Industrial Revolution) - increased farm productivity Crop rotation (rotating different crops in and out of a field each year) Seed Drill (a device that efficiently places seeds in a designated spot on the ground) Introduction of the Potato from S. America Populations grew due to more food - more food allows populations to grow Less workers needed on farms due to machines - more people to work in factories Urbanization Growing populations leave rural areas and move to urban areas Enclosure Movement no longer allowed farmers to use government property - forcing many farmers to become landless and move to cities for work British Advantages Geographic advantages Located on Atlantic Ocean - many seaways Well placed to import/export raw materials Abundance of Coal and other natural resources (Iron, rivers, timber) Financial Advantages Colonial Power - resources and markets available Wealth accumulated (mostly from slave trade) allowed for investments, capital, and private entrepreneurs Naval Power World's strongest fleet of ships - commercial and defense (Navy) Legal Protection of Private property Entrepreneurs needed the assurance that the business they created and built up would not be taken away, either by other businesspeople or by goverment
Stages of most revolutions
Citizens become dissatisfied with government Moderates gain more power Radicals take over in a "terror" phase The process culminates in a period of relative calm and acceptance
Japan (Collapse of the Shogunate)
Collapse of the Shogunate Japanese hierarchy (Emperor - traditional figure head/supreme ruler) followed by shogun ( true governors of Japan/military dictators since 12th century) 19th century shoguns unable to govern with so much European and domestic critics Different daimyo of Japanese provinces begin reacting both negatively and positively to Western influences - weakening the overall power of the shogun
French Revolution (Congress of Vienna)
Congress of Vienna Led by Klemens von Metternich of Austria Sets up Conservative view point Restore former boundaries Restore former dynasties (Principle of Legitimacy) Pledged to maintain a balance of power in Europe (Principle of Intervention)
Revolutions
Conservatives resisted the new ideas of representative government and change. As urbanization increased and a new middle class rose out of the Industrial Revolution, people increasingly protested against governments that failed to recognize individual and natural rights.
French Revolution (National Assembly)
Creation of the National Assembly (1789 - 1792) Louis XVI is forced to call the Estates General to order to deal with economic situation 1st and 2nd Estate consistently outvotes 3rd Estate in regards to any changes 3rd Estate is locked out of the meeting house and meet across the street at a Tennis Court - Pledging the Tennis Court Oath (a promise to continue meeting until a fair and equal constitution was created) The King threatens their arrest, but is forced to deal with angry mobs protesting lack of food July 14, 1780 - Storming of the Bastille - political prison and symbol of the traditional regime (French Independence Day) Uprisings against the nobility throughout France forces Louis to accept the National Assembly as the government Changes under National Assembly France becomes a constitutional monarchy Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen is adopted Abolishment of feudalism Civil Constitution of the Clergy - abolishes special privileges of the Catholic Church Nobility and Louis XVI refusal to truly accept a limited monarch leads radicals (Jacobins to rise up in Paris...
Zionism
Desire for the Jews of Europe to move to Israel (Palestine) and other places to reestablish an independent homeland for the Jews after thousands of years of diaspora Protest the Dreyfus Affair - A Jewish military officer is wrongly convicted of treason against the French government based on forged documents - illustrates anti-Semitic prejudice throughout the world Jews believed assimilation was not possible and they needed a homeland state of their own (Israel is born in 1948)

Imperialism (Asia)
Dutch settlements in Southeast Asia - Indonesia French settlements in Southeast Asia - Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia
Imperialism (Motives)
Economic Motives Desire for raw materials (cotton, copper, rubber) Markets - new potential consumers Agricultural Resources (cash crops) Tea, cotton, sugar, palm oil, rubber, coffee Negative effect on colony - only allowed to produce and grow the cash crop in mass quantities - not growing needed staple crops (monocultures - lack of agricultural diversity) Crop disease and pests spread more easily when there is only one crop planted in an area Railways in Colonies This was a symbol that the mother country was helping the local people Labor Systems - cheap labor/indentured laborers were an attractive reasons to expand and become imperialistic
Ottoman Empire (Investment)
European Investment Ottoman government allowed foreigners to set up banking offices and influenced in Istanbul These foreigners lived in their own areas of the city and were granted extraterritoriality - the right of foreign residents in a country to live under the laws of their home country Capitulations - concessions made by the sultans to foreign nations regarding trading rights - especially in North Africa - to avoid being attacked.
Major Developments in Transportation and Communication
Examples of developments in Transportation and Communication Railroads Steamships Telegraphs Canals
Ottoman Empire (Expansion of Power)
Expansion of Ali's Power Over next 10 years - Ali consolidated his power by defeating the Mamluks Wahhabis (Islamic fundamentalist group) took Mecca and Medina from the Ottoman Empire - leading the sultan to ask Ali to recapture these areas - which they did. 1820 - Ali waged campaigns to the south to gain control of the Sudan for Egypt (without sultan's permission) Ali sent an army and navy to deal with Greek independent movement in return for the promise for the island of Crete Greece, with the help of Russia, France and Great Britain - was able to win its independence in 1832. Ali expanded into Syria - led by his son Ibrahim (1831-1832) - continued to invade Anatolia (heart of Ottoman Empire) This forced the hand the European hand and forced Egypt to withdraw - Europe wanted to decide on the fate of the Empire European leaders allowed descendants of Muhammad Ali to rule Egypt until 1952 - with severely limited powers
Industrialization fundamentally changed how goods were produced
Factors that led to the rise of industrial production Europe's location on the Atlantic Ocean The geographical distribution of coal, iron, and timber European demographic changes Urbanization Improved agricultural productivity Legal protection of private property An abundance of rivers and canals Access to foreign resources The accumulation of capital Industrialization Has many positive effects on life Steam Power is better than Horse Power Industrial Revolution makes life more efficient Negative issues Pollution Bad for the environment Cheap Labor More of a hunger for profit than good labor Scarcity → Leads to demand → To willingness to buy a more expensive item Competition lowers prices Less of an item → More Expensive More of an item → Less Expensive The development of machines (steam engines & internal combustion engine) made it possible to exploit vast new sources of energy stored in fossil fuels (coal and oil) The "Fossil Fuels" revolution greatly increased the energy available Good → Now produced in factories Manager to worker society had begun Family and Working Class dynamics are changed Everything now relies on natural resources Industrial Revolution → Started in England Had coal and water resources → Abundance They still had control of the colonies → Got raw materials from them England → Global Empire More Food → Higher Population → More laborers Less People working in factories → More people have to work the land/rural areas Makes rural production run faster
Ottoman Empire
Failure to modernize, declining in trade & overexpansion led to the weakening of the Empire
Seven Years War
First technical world war Started with the French and Indian war Between the British and the French French beat the British and leave Britain confused French → Use guerilla style warfare Helped to beat up british Guerilla Style → Surprise attacks While the british war red uniforms → French used brown and green French could not be seen in the American forests Estates General → State General Can change economic things Take control of Economic Issues Can only meet under Louis' command 1611 → 1783 200 years the group was not called together Due to france being bankrupt Louis keeps spending everything Due to his spending and his father's spending They are 100% bankrupt Coup d'état → A notable or successful stroke or move Reference to the use of guillotines

Response to the Development and Spread of Global Capitalism
In industrialized states, many workers organized themselves to improve working conditions, limit hours, and gain higher wages, while others opposed capitalist exploitation of workers by promoting alternative visions of society Utopian Socialism Marxism Anarchism In Qing China and the Ottoman Empire, some members of the government resisted economic change and attempted to maintain pre industrial forms of economic production

Industrialization and Global Integration
Industrialization fundamentally altered the production of goods around the world. It not only changed how goods were produced and consumed, as well as what was considered a "good,"but it also had far-reaching effects on the global economy, social relations, and culture. Although it is common to speak of an "Industrial Revolution," the purpose of industrialization was a gradual one that unfolded over the course of the 18th and 19th centuries, eventually becoming global
Industrial Revolution
Industrialization refers not only to the increased mechanization of production but also to the social changes that accompanied this shift

New Patterns of Global Trade
New Patterns of global trade and production developed and further integrated the global economy as industrialists sought raw materials and new markets for the increasing amount and array of goods produced in their factories The need for raw materials for the factories and increased food supplies for the growing population in urban centers led to the growth of export economies around the world that specialized in mass producing single natural resources - the profits were used to purchase raw materials Cotton, Rubber, Palm Oil, Sugar, Wheat, Meat, Guano, Metals and Minerals

Industrial Revolution (Spread)
Spread of Industrialization After Britain - Belgium and France followed (possessed many of the same characteristics (capital, natural resources, water transportation) France faced an issue with its sparsely populated urban centers - limited the amount of available labor & Revolution Germany was politically fragmented - which delayed industrialization until 1871 when Germany unified - becoming the leader in steel and coal United States - quickly became an industrial force Built many canals, transcontinental railroad Had an abundance of natural resources Immigration led to a huge workforce for U.S U.S.A., Britain, and Germany were the leading players in the second industrial revolution Steel, chemicals, precision machinery and electronics
Nationalism, Revolution and Reform
The 18th century marked the beginning of an intense period of revolution and rebellion against existing governments, and the establishment of new nation-states around the world. Enlightenment thought and the resistance of colonized peoples to imperial centers shaped this revolutionary activity. These rebellions sometimes resulted in the formation of new states and stimulated the development of new ideologies.
