2. Define nationalism in your own words: Love and pride for your own country.

Take notes on the following. Make sure you connect the events back to nationalism.

Unification of Italy: Unification of Germany: Zionism: Brazilian Independence: Monroe Doctrine: Argentine Republic: Balkan Nationalism:
 * Movement in which different states of the Italian peninsula unified into the single state of Italy. Began in 1815 with the Congress of Vienna and the end of Napoleonic rule, and ended around 1871 with the Franco-Prussian War.
 * Unified West and East Germany on 18 January 1871 at the Versailles Palace's Hall of Mirrors in France.

 * A policy declared by the United States on December 2, 1823 which states that if European nations tried to take over or interfere with any western state, it would be viewed as an act of agression signaling for war against the United States. Prohibited Europe to colonize in the western hemisphere.

 * Balkans won independence from the Ottoman Empire in the 19t h century. Balkan Nationalism threatened Austria, Austria + Russia nearly came to war over Balkan issues. In 1912 and 1913 two internal wars erupted in the Balkan nation, results satisfied no one.

3. Summarize the global impact of nationalism (limit to 200 words/ 1/2 page)

Nationalism has resulted in war, revolutions, and other worldwide conflicts. Nationalism is the love for ones country and taking pride in it, willing to defend it at all costs. As we've studied examples of nationalism include the American Revolution. French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, and the Venezuelan Revolution, along with WWI and WWII. When i think of nationalism the first thing that comes to mind is Hitler and the Nazis. The single greatest movement to restore "German Pride" led to a devastating World War and the killing of over 6 million people! All over what? Pride and the restoration of the pure Arian race. Although nationalism can be a good thing and can develope into great things such as the formation of America itself and the land of the free, it may also spirrel out of control and become an issue. There are other forms of nationalism that occur everyday that we don't even realize, things such as the singing of the pledge of allegiance every morning in school and even devotion to sports teams. Nationalism is all around us and can shape our society and the world.

**Industrialization**
4. Look at the data below and answer the questions that follow

//Index Numbers of World Trade (Volume of trade in selected years compared to 1913)// // Iron Production (1000's Metric Tons) // //Years of Life Expectancy at Birth//
 * Year || Index Number ||
 * 1850 || 10 ||
 * 1870 || 24 ||
 * 1895 || 48 ||
 * 1901 || 67 ||
 * 1911 || 96 ||
 * 1913 || 100 ||
 * || 1830 || 1850 || 1913 ||
 * Britain || 700 || 2,716 || 9,792 ||
 * France || 244 || 1,262 || 4,626 ||
 * Russia || 167 || 231 || 3,870 ||
 * Germany || 111 || 246 || 14,836 ||
 * Country || Year: 1820 || Year: 1900 ||
 * Britain || 40 || 50 ||
 * Average,rest of Western Europe || 36 || 46 ||
 * United States || 39 || 47 ||
 * Japan || 34 || 44 ||
 * Russia || 28 || 32 ||
 * Average, all Latin America || 27 || 32 ||
 * Average, all Asia || 23 || 24 ||
 * Average all Africa || 23 || 24 ||

The most significant set of data is either between the Index Numbers of World Trade and the Iron production table. This is because they both represent significant increase in trade and in manufactoring leading to a growing economy and world improvement due to the Industrial Revolution. How the world is developing throughout the years as a result of the Industrial Revolution. World production, manufactoring, trade, and lifestlyes have improved and increased in Less than 100 years.
 * Which of the data sets above do you think is the most significant? Why?
 * Taken together what do these data sets tell us?

5. Read the following and answer the questions below [|Industrial Revolution Introduction.pdf] The Industrial Revolution was a revolution in product, transport and communication changing the world like never before. New uses of machinery and production in mass numbers leading to unnecessary consumption. It originated in Britain in the late 18th century, then to the U.S and in a matter of years spread throughtout the world. It resulted in the formation of new cities in massive numbers, production increased 10 fold, and it better living conditions for individuals.
 * What was the Industrial revolution?
 * What was its origins?
 * What were its major effects?

6. Now referring to your textbook create a chart or mindmap of the effects of Industrialization. You must include the following
 * Gender roles/issues
 * Family Structures
 * Social Structures
 * Extension of voting rights (chartist movement)
 * Mass leisure culture
 * Romanticism
 * Socialism
 * Communism

Imperialism
7. Examine the map below and the data that follows - What do they show us?

The map above shows us the extent of Britain's power around the world. Seizing land and having control virtually everywhere on the planet including entire land masses such as Canada and Australia. This also symbolizes the power of the British empire and its ability to keep control over colonies around the world. With all this land Britain has significant political influence around its neighboring states. How could Britain keep control over all these scattered lands and what was they're downfall?

//Extent of Colonial Control//
 * ~  ||~ Great Britain ||~ France ||~ Belgium ||~ Netherlands ||~ Germany (1914) ||
 * ~ Area in Square Miles || 94,000 || 212,600 || 11,800 || 13,200 || 210,000 ||

8. Define Imperialism in your own words: Imperialism is the extension/colonization of ones country into other territories. Gaining control elsewhere, politically and economically (beyond its borders).

9. What were the motivations for Imperialism? Extension of land, raw materials, political influence, and economic means. Power and Wealth.

While many countries, including but not limited to France, Germany, Belgium, and the United Nations, engaged in Imperialist activity; Great Britain is known above all as the best example of a true imperialist nation. We will examine the actions of Great Britain to gain a better understanding of the nature, extent and effects of Imperialism.

10. Before note-taking, look for the following key terms (not in the glossary!) and define them in your own words.


 * The British East India Company - Was and early English joint-stock company, initially formed to pursue trade with East Indies.
 * Sepoys - Was the name given for an Indian soldier under the service of a European power.
 * British Raj - the name given to the period of British colonial rule in South Asia between 1858 and 1947

12. Write a 1/2 - 1 page summary where you explain the connections between Nationalism, Industrialization and Imperialism Nationalism, Imperialism, and Industrialization all go hand in hand, they all build off of each other. It all starts with nationalism, the pride and glory of ones country. Proudness and greatness in the country with the common belief that it is the best above all nations. This sense of nationalism creates for the need of imperialism. The country wants to share its greatness with other nations, almost like a manifest destiny. This expansion of power and wealth known as imperialism stretches through out the world where nations feel that their superiority must be shared with other nations even if they don't want it imposed on them. Finally after the imperialistic process is over and the nation has either colonized or expanded its land around its borders, industrialization comes in. The country that took over now enforces industrialization in the newly imperialized nation, which most likely serves as a wealth income. It all starts with a country's nationalist pride, which then in turn leads to imperialistic activity, finally resulting in industrialization. All three go hand in hand with one another.
