This document summarizes key aspects of industrialization and westward expansion in the late 19th century United States. It discusses how raw materials and immigrant labor powered industrial growth. It also outlines some major technological
As more people moved west, mining, ranching, and railroads began transforming the West in the late 1800s. Mining booms like the 1859 Comstock Lode discovery in Nevada led to new towns springing up overnight. Cattle ranching also became popular, though it ended with the introduction of barbed wire fencing. Growing populations in the West increased the need for better communication and transportation, leading to the development of the Pony Express and telegraph systems. The Transcontinental Railroad was ultimately built between 1866-1869 to connect the eastern and western United States, spurring further economic growth.
5.2 the development of the american railroadsJonathan Dycus
The development of the transcontinental railroad in the United States was driven by the concept of Manifest Destiny and the desire to connect the eastern and western parts of the country. The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 granted funding and land subsidies to the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads to build the line. These companies engaged in a race to complete as much track as possible, employing various workers including ex-soldiers, immigrants, and using new technologies like dynamite. The Last Spike was driven in 1869 in Promontory, Utah connecting the continental United States by rail for the first time. The railroad transformed the country by facilitating transportation and settlement of the West.
Industrialization in the United States was spurred by several key factors in the late 19th century:
1) The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 opened up the West and transported goods, helping population growth and the development of industries.
2) Abundant natural resources like coal, iron, and copper provided materials for factories, railroads, and machinery. An influx of over 14 million immigrants between 1860-1900 supplied needed workers.
3) Inventions like the typewriter, telephone, and light bulb advanced technology and manufacturing capabilities.
The document summarizes key developments in the United States between 1790-1860, including territorial expansion, economic growth driven by industrialization and slavery, increasing population including immigration and the slave trade, and rising tensions between the North and South over the issues of slavery and states' rights. Transportation networks like canals, railroads, and telegraph played a major role in connecting the growing country and supporting economic activity.
By 1900, the U.S. had emerged as the world's leading industrial power due to its abundant natural resources, growing labor supply through immigration, capital investments, technological innovations, and business-friendly government policies. Wealthy industrialists and entrepreneurs like Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, and Ford built vast industrial empires in steel, oil, banking, and automobiles through practices like vertical integration and trusts that eliminated competition. New technologies revolutionized areas like transportation, communication, manufacturing, and daily life. However, concerns grew about the power of large trusts and monopolies as well as wealth inequality between the rich industrialists and the working class.
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain and spread to the United States in the early 19th century, fueled by available investment capital. Factories and mills proliferated in northern US states, which had natural resources like iron and coal and access to rivers for transportation. The US Civil War further accelerated industrialization as both sides needed weapons and supplies. After the war, the transcontinental railroad and waves of immigration connected markets and provided workers, driving continued economic growth and establishing America as a major industrial power.
The document discusses several key inventions and economic developments in the United States including the national market, cotton gin, steel plow, mechanical reaper, telegraph, and rise of cotton and slavery in the South. The national market boosted the economy by exporting goods abroad. The cotton gin automated and increased cotton production, fueling the demand for slavery. The steel plow and mechanical reaper increased agricultural productivity. The telegraph allowed rapid communication. Cotton became the dominant crop and economic driver of the South, further entrenching the institution of slavery. Nativism emerged as Americans resented immigrants taking jobs.

The document discusses how industrialization transformed the American West in the late 19th century. It summarizes that (1) the railroad industry expanded rapidly through land grants and loans, connecting regions and markets. (2) Mining and ranching industries also grew substantially, attracting workers but often exploiting them with low pay and dangerous conditions. (3) Many homesteaders and farmers struggled due to the difficulty of farming in the West and were unable to maintain their claims over the required 5 years.
The United States became the largest industrial country in the world by the early 1900s due to several key factors:
1. Cheap labor from over 20 million European immigrants between 1865-1910 who provided a large industrial workforce.
2. Abundant natural resources such as water, timber, coal, iron and copper which American companies could obtain inexpensively.
3. The development of railroads which linked the nation and expanded markets while also spending on infrastructure to support industrial growth.
4. A laissez-faire government policy with low taxes and few regulations that allowed industry to grow unfettered.
5. Important inventions like the telephone, light bulb, and phonograph that increased productivity
The industrialization of America saw unprecedented economic growth between 1865 and 1900. Manufacturing value grew from $2 billion to over $11 billion as industries like iron and steel boomed. This industrial growth was driven by ample natural resources like coal and timber within the U.S., a large influx of immigrant workers providing a workforce, and wave of new inventions including the telephone, light bulb, and refrigerated railcar that helped transform the economy. The U.S. government actively supported this industrialization through policies like tariffs on imports and subsidizing the expansion of the railroad system.
The United States became the largest industrial country in the world by 1900 due to several key factors: 1) Cheap labor from 20 million immigrants who came for jobs and to escape military service or religious persecution; 2) Plenty of natural resources like water, timber, coal, iron and copper; 3) The expansion of railroads which linked markets and stimulated spending on infrastructure; and 4) A laissez-faire government that imposed no regulations and kept taxes low, fueling industrial growth. Inventions like the telephone and light bulb also increased productivity.
The United States followed a policy of expansionism in the 1800s, adding vast territories like the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the nation's size. While some Americans pushed for reforms like abolishing slavery, the nation was split by the issue of slavery which led to the Civil War. After the war, the US economy boomed as the country industrialized and became a world leader in manufacturing.
The document discusses the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and its consequences. It was passed to remove Native American tribes from their eastern lands to west of the Mississippi River in order to open up territory for white settlers. The Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Chickasaw tribes were most affected. Though removal was meant to be voluntary, it was often coerced and forced. The relocation led to the infamous Trail of Tears and the death of thousands of Native Americans from exposure. The removal opened up millions of acres for white settlement but was a tragic event for the Native peoples forced to relocate.
Reform gradually expanded suffrage and made the British Parliament more democratic during the 1800s. The Great Reform Act of 1832 enlarged the electorate and redistributed parliamentary seats. Further reforms in 1867, 1884-85, and 1900 granted the vote to more working-class men and farm workers. By 1918, most men and some women could vote, establishing Britain as a parliamentary democracy.
The 1920s became known as the Roaring Twenties due to rising mass consumption in America and breakthroughs in the arts and entertainment industries. Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon's tax cuts for the rich and Henry Ford's advances in mass production made previously luxury goods more accessible to the middle class. New technologies like the radio and movies provided affordable entertainment. Jazz music and Art Deco became dominant as literary works from Hemingway and Fitzgerald reflected the cultural liberation of the time period. Overall, the economic conditions and developments in arts/entertainment helped define the decade as one of increased spending, innovation, and cultural changes.
The document summarizes the key causes of conflict between the North and South in the period before the Civil War, including slavery, states' rights, and economic differences. It describes the rise of abolitionist movements like the Underground Railroad and the passage of laws like the Fugitive Slave Act, which increased tensions. It then contrasts the industrializing Northern economy with transportation improvements and the agricultural plantation economy of the South dependent on slave labor and cotton.
The British Isles are made up of two countries: the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom (UK). The Celts first arrived in 450 BC, settling in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Later, the Angles, Saxons, and Vikings established small kingdoms from the 400s to 1000s AD. The Normans subsequently conquered England in the 11th century. The UK's strong economy and navy allowed it to build a vast global empire. However, independence movements in Ireland and other colonies weakened the UK in the 1900s. Today, tensions continue in Northern Ireland between the Protestant majority and Catholic minority over whether the region should remain part of the UK or join the Republic of Ireland.
The Indian Act and other laws imposed on Indigenous peoples in Canada were created by the colonial government without Indigenous consultation and still discriminate based on race today. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 claimed sovereignty over Indigenous lands while the British North America Act and subsequent laws restricted Indigenous rights to vote, sell land, leave reserves, and more. The Indian Act conceptualized Indigenous land as Crown land controlled by the government and sought to assimilate Indigenous peoples into Canadian society through enfranchisement. While amended over time, the Indian Act remains the only race-based law in Canada.
The document summarizes the rise of prominent industrialists and businessmen in late 19th century America known as the "Fat Cats". It describes how men like Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and J.P. Morgan amassed huge fortunes and monopolies in industries like shipping, oil, steel, and finance due to factors like opportunity from limited government and new technologies, the use of monopolistic business practices, and the social Darwinist mindset of the time that justified aggressive business tactics. Some of the wealthy businessmen like Carnegie later embraced philanthropy and giving their wealth back to society through donations to universities, libraries, and other causes.
The document summarizes how new inventions and technologies transformed manufacturing, farming, and transportation in the North during this time period. Key inventions included the sewing machine, steel plow, mechanical reaper, telegraph, and steam-powered locomotive. These innovations increased productivity but railroads initially faced problems with safety, reliability and resistance from competing industries. Railroads and clipper ships then helped grow Northern commerce by connecting cities and markets and increasing trade overseas, while steam power allowed factories to be built anywhere.
The document summarizes the founding and establishment of the original 13 colonies in North America by European powers between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. It discusses the main reasons for colonization, including the Protestant Reformation, economic motivations, and geopolitical rivalries. Each colony's founding date and location are provided, along with details on early challenges, systems of government established, and economies that developed, with an emphasis on tobacco, rice, and indigo as major cash crops that drove the use of slave labor over time. Religious freedom and tolerance varied among the colonies.
This document summarizes key aspects of slavery and abolitionist movements in the United States prior to the Civil War. It outlines that approximately 2.8 million slaves worked on plantations in the South growing cash crops like cotton and tobacco. Abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass advocated ending slavery, with Douglass escaping slavery and becoming a prominent anti-slavery speaker. Nat Turner led a slave rebellion that killed 60 whites in Virginia. Meanwhile, slave owners defended the institution of slavery by outlawing education for slaves and using their political power to prevent southern states from ending slavery.
1) Colonial America developed under the mercantilist system where colonies existed as markets and suppliers for the home country of Britain. Navigation Acts required trade to go through Britain and enumerated products could only be traded between Britain and colonies.
2) The colonies prospered under this system but some complained about restrictions. King James II further centralized control but this led to the Glorious Revolution and ideas of power coming from consent rather than divine right.
3) The four main regions - Plantation South, Middle Colonies, New England, and Frontier - developed differently based on economies, immigration, and governance structures. The Plantation South relied on tobacco and slavery while New England had family-based towns.
The document provides information on key developments during the Industrial Revolution in the United States, including important innovations, industries, labor issues, and social impacts. Some of the major topics covered include the rise of industries like steel, oil, railroads, and electricity; influential inventors and businessmen; the growth of large corporations and monopolies; difficult working conditions and labor unrest leading to union organizing; and social problems that arose from industrialization.
The Gold Rush of 1858 passed through the region and Port Pemberton was established as a stopping house along the Douglas Trail. Over 30,000 gold rushers passed through the region making their way to the goldfields of Lillooet and beyond. Beyond the Gold Rush of 1858 there were other major events happening in Canada and in the world.
This document discusses the rise of industry and industrialization in the United States during the late 19th century. Key factors that enabled industrialization included natural resources, a large workforce including immigrants and consumers, and a system of free enterprise that allowed entrepreneurs to start new businesses. The government played a role through tariffs and infrastructure projects. New technologies developed during this period, including the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell, electric power from Thomas Edison, and the growth of steel production led by industrialists like Andrew Carnegie. Railroads expanded rapidly to connect industries and markets across the growing country.

The document provides information on life in America during the late 19th century, including:
1) The expansion of industry and growth of big businesses like Standard Oil and U.S. Steel transformed the economy, while new inventions in transportation and communication modernized society.
2) Workers organized unions like the Knights of Labor to demand better treatment from employers, going on strikes, but often faced resistance from companies and legal hurdles.
3) Large numbers of immigrants arrived in America's growing cities during this time of industrialization, bringing both opportunities and challenges of cultural assimilation and urbanization.
General Custer and 268 of his troops were killed at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876 in a major defeat by Native American forces led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Westward expansion in the 19th century was driven by gold miners, farmers, Chinese laborers, and European immigrants. The development of the West was also impacted by several key laws and events, including the Homestead Act of 1862 which gave settlers land, the Transcontinental Railroad which connected the country, and the invention of barbed wire which enabled the enclosure of open ranges.
The document provides details on several key events and developments during the early 19th century in the United States, including:
1) The Industrial Revolution began in the U.S. in the late 18th century, with textile mills being built along rivers and the development of interchangeable parts.
2) Two economic systems developed - the North focused on manufacturing while the South's economy relied on slavery and cotton cultivation.
3) Infrastructure projects like the National Road and Erie Canal helped facilitate trade and economic growth across regions. However, they also increased tensions over issues like tariffs and states' rights.
4) The Supreme Court strengthened national power with rulings like McCulloch v. Maryland,
The document discusses the history of agriculture in America from early Native American practices through 1877. It describes how Native Americans cultivated the three sisters of corn, beans, and squash and introduced many important crops. As colonists arrived, they relied on the Native Americans' agricultural knowledge and adopted their farming techniques. Over time, new technologies and inventions transformed American agriculture, increasing productivity and reducing labor needs. By the late 1800s, agriculture had become a major industry in the US.

Chapter 5 - Industrialization and the Gilded Age.pptxAngelaPhillips49
The document summarizes technological innovations and industrialization in the United States following the Civil War. Key developments included the Bessemer process which increased steel production, new inventions like the telephone and typewriter, and the rise of oil and electricity as energy sources. The growth of railroads connected regions and markets. Entrepreneurs like Rockefeller and Carnegie established large corporations and amassed wealth, though workers faced long hours, low pay, and unsafe conditions, leading some to organize unions. Overall industrialization transformed the US economy through technological advances and new business models.
The document discusses the expansion of industrialization in the United States during the late 1800s. Key developments included the discovery of natural resources which fueled industry, the use of tariffs to protect American industry, and technological innovations like steel production. Industries like oil, railroads, telephones, and electrical power grew rapidly. Large corporations and monopolies formed, led by entrepreneurs like Rockefeller and Carnegie. Working conditions were often difficult and unsafe, leading to labor unrest and the formation of unions by the end of the century. Rapid urbanization occurred as many moved to cities for industrial jobs.
The document discusses the expansion of industrialization in the United States during the late 1800s. Key developments included the discovery of natural resources which fueled industry, the use of tariffs to protect American industry, and technological innovations like steel production. Industries like oil, railroads, electricity, communications, and automobiles grew rapidly. Large corporations and monopolies formed, led by entrepreneurs and financed by bankers, though working conditions were often poor. Unions struggled to gain influence among the growing urban workforce.
1) In the late 19th century, the U.S. government commissioned the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads to build the first transcontinental railroad across the country.
2) The railroad was completed in 1869, connecting workers and settlers to the West and transforming the nation through increased trade and new industries.
3) During this period of industrialization, known as the Gilded Age, large businesses consolidated power through monopolies and trusts, workers faced difficult conditions, and immigrants populated urban areas. Reform movements sought to address these issues through regulation and social change.
The North's economy grew through industrialization, improved transportation like railroads and steamboats, and faster communication technologies. Northern cities saw large immigrant populations working in dangerous factories. The South relied on slavery and agriculture, specifically cotton, tobacco and rice plantations. Life for slaves was difficult, with harsh slave codes controlling their lives and families. They faced brutal conditions under slavery and the threat of being sold away from loved ones.
1. Manifest Destiny and the Louisiana Purchase enabled westward expansion in the US, allowing more settlers to move west of the Mississippi River and claim land.
2. Systems like the Headright system and land lotteries distributed free land to encourage population growth and allow settlers to own property.
3. However, Native American tribes like the Cherokee and Creek were displaced from their lands, often violently, leading to the forced removal known as the Trail of Tears.
The document summarizes key events in the early 19th century expansion and development of the United States. It describes how American settlers moved into Texas under Stephen Austin's leadership, which led to conflicts with Mexico over issues like slavery, culminating in the Texas Revolution and independence. It also outlines the growth of transportation networks like canals and railroads, the rise of industrialization in the North, and the development of distinct economic systems in the North and South based around agriculture, which influenced political divisions between the regions.
The document summarizes economic and social developments in the Northern United States between 1820-1860. It describes the growth of industry and manufacturing facilitated by new technologies like the cotton gin, sewing machine, and steam power. This led to a boom in Northern cities as many moved to urban areas for work in factories. It also discusses improvements to transportation infrastructure like canals, railroads, and steamships that allowed for increased trade. The rapid industrialization brought both economic opportunity and harsh working conditions, and attracted large numbers of immigrants to the growing industrial centers of the North.
The document provides an overview of key topics in United States history from colonization through Reconstruction.

The document discusses several major historical events and periods in U.S. history:
1. The Spanish-American War of 1898 resulted in U.S. victories over Spain and the acquisition of territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.
2. World War I from 1914-1918 drew in most European powers and the U.S. and had wide-ranging impacts, including the establishment of new countries in Europe and Wilson's promotion of national self-determination and the League of Nations.
3. The 1920s saw social changes like the flapper culture amid economic growth, but also tensions like the Red Scare where fear of communism led to restrictions on civil liberties and immigration quotas.
This document provides an overview of English exploration and colonization in North America from 1215-1763. It discusses key documents like the Magna Carta and English Bill of Rights that influenced the development of citizens' rights and representative government in the colonies. Major colonial settlements like Jamestown and Plymouth are summarized. The establishment of representative assemblies and the growth of the economy, including the rise of cash crops and slavery, are also covered at a high level.
The document provides an overview of the agricultural revolution in the United States between 1865-1890, including the displacement of Native Americans, western expansion, development of farming and cattle ranching, and economic hardships faced by farmers. It discusses factors such as the Homestead Act, drought, the rise of mechanized agriculture, and the formation of groups like the Grange to politically advocate for farmers' interests in the face of debt, deflation, and railroad monopolies.
The document distinguishes between primary and secondary sources. Primary sources are first-hand accounts or original records, such as interviews with former slaves or Holocaust survivors. Secondary sources are one step removed, like books written by historians based on primary research or government reports analyzing past events. Determining the credibility of differing accounts of an event may depend on the relationship of the source to the event and potential biases.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

The document summarizes the journey and founding of Plymouth colony by the Pilgrims in 1620. It describes how the Pilgrims faced religious persecution in England and sought religious freedom, so they traveled on the Mayflower to settle in Virginia but ended up landing much further north in Massachusetts due to storms. They survived a difficult first winter with help from the Native Americans Squanto and Samoset and held a harvest celebration that became Thanksgiving.
The US became involved in Vietnam to prevent South Vietnam from falling to communism, fearing this could lead other Southeast Asian countries to also fall (domino theory). While initially sending advisors, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution allowed greater US action after alleged attacks on US destroyers. However, the US struggled against an elusive Viet Cong enemy hidden in jungles, without clear targets. Growing anti-war sentiment at home was exacerbated by the surprising Tet Offensive, though the US began gradually transferring responsibility to South Vietnam through Vietnamization while still providing support.
Following WWII, Europe and Asia underwent significant changes - Germany and Berlin were divided between the Western allies and Soviet Union, while the US took sole responsibility for rebuilding Japan and establishing a new democratic constitution under General Douglas MacArthur. Meanwhile, the Cold War emerged between the capitalist West led by the US and the communist Eastern Bloc led by the Soviet Union, which exerted control over countries behind the Iron Curtain and cut off access to West Berlin until the US launched a massive airlift of supplies; this instability continued with the outbreak of the Korean War as North Korea invaded South Korea across the 38th Parallel boundary.
The Philippines were an important US base until the Japanese forced the surrender of US forces in April 1942. This led to the infamous Bataan Death March where thousands of Filipino and US prisoners of war died. In the Pacific Theater, the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway turned the tide in favor of the US by stopping Japanese naval advances. The US also fought major battles to take Iwo Jima and Okinawa to reach the Japanese mainland. Meanwhile, the Manhattan Project developed the atomic bomb which the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 after Japan refused to surrender, leading to their surrender and the end of the war.
The US entered World War 2 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Over 16 million Americans joined the military and women joined the workforce, taking on jobs previously held by men. Japanese Americans on the west coast were forced into internment camps during the war. In the European theater, the US prioritized defeating Hitler. Key operations included invading North Africa and Sicily, establishing a beachhead in Normandy on D-Day, and defeating the final German offensive at the Battle of the Bulge. Germany surrendered on V-E Day in May 1945.
Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles and annexed Austria and the Sudetenland without resistance. At the Munich Agreement, Britain appeased Hitler by allowing the annexation of Czechoslovakia, but Hitler soon invaded Poland, starting World War 2. Germany had early success using its new Blitzkrieg tactics to quickly defeat Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France. Though the British rescued troops from Dunkirk, Britain stood alone against Germany until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, opening a second front.
Benito Mussolini seized power in Italy in the 1920s and established a fascist government, creating the "black shirts" militia to enforce his rule. He invaded Ethiopia in Africa and Japan attacked Manchuria in China, and both faced ineffective responses from the League of Nations. In Germany, Adolf Hitler rose to power as the Nazi party leader and chancellor, preaching against the unfair Treaty of Versailles and beginning to remilitarize the country by sending troops to the Rhineland. The authoritarian leaders of Italy, Germany and Japan would later form the Axis alliance.
The 1936 US presidential election saw Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt defeat Republican Alf Landon. Roosevelt proposed a controversial "Court Packing Plan" to add more justices to the Supreme Court if they did not retire after age 70, but Congress defeated the bill. The New Deal programs increased US debt and emphasized government aid, shifting the US to a modern welfare state. Roosevelt also took the US off the gold standard, giving the government more control over the money supply.
Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in the 1932 presidential election amidst the Great Depression. As president, FDR established numerous programs through his New Deal initiative to provide relief, reform the economy, and regulate finance in response to the economic crisis. These programs included the establishment of the Civilian Conservation Corps to create jobs for young unemployed men, the Tennessee Valley Authority to build infrastructure projects like dams and provide electricity, and the Social Security Act to offer assistance to the elderly.
Stocks crashed on October 24, 1929 in heavy selling known as Black Thursday, with prices plunging and over $4 billion in paper losses. Billions more were lost two days later on Black Tuesday, wiping out many investors. The massive sell-off marked the beginning of the Great Depression, with plummeting demand causing industrial output and employment to drop sharply. Unemployment rose to one in four as banks failed and shantytowns emerged.
Germany attacked France and cornered Allied forces at Dunkirk, but bad weather allowed the British navy to rescue troops across the English Channel. Germany then bombed Britain for over 3 months but failed to break the Royal Air Force. Hitler invaded the Soviet Union to seize its resources but faced scorched earth tactics, and later turned his attention to the Pacific by attacking islands like the Philippines. Several key events turned the tide of war, including Germany fighting on two fronts after invading the USSR, the US entering the war after Japan's attack, Italy surrendering following the Allied invasion of Sicily, and the Allied D-Day invasion of France leading ultimately to Germany's defeat on V-E Day in 1945, after which the US dropped atomic
The key causes of WWII were the rise of dictators like Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy, and Hirohito in Japan. Germany's economy was ruined after harsh treatment following WWI, including huge reparation payments. Countries were increasingly aggressive in expanding their borders, which the weak League of Nations struggled to address. Germany openly disregarded the Treaty of Versailles and remilitarized the Rhineland, while Britain pursued appeasement. Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 and Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 drew the major Allied powers into the war.
The Great Depression was caused by the financial devastation of World War I, with the US loaning money to allies who did not repay, the failure of the Federal Reserve to control interest rates, and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act raising prices of foreign goods and reducing US exports. This led to about 1/3 of the workforce becoming unemployed even as Hoover and later FDR created numerous government programs to stimulate the economy and help the unemployed in the face of the crisis.
After World War 1, several dictators rose to power in Russia, Germany, and Italy. In Russia, Vladimir Lenin led the Bolsheviks and became dictator after the execution of Czar Nicholas II. In Germany, Adolf Hitler led the Nazi party and declared himself dictator after gaining power. In Italy, Benito Mussolini led the Fascist party and was appointed leader after marching on Rome. These dictators consolidated their control and rebuilt their militaries, undermining the peace efforts of the League of Nations and other post-WW1 agreements.
WWI began in 1914 when Germany invaded Belgium to launch an attack on France as part of the Schlieffen Plan. This brought Britain into the war against Germany and Austria-Hungary. The war quickly resulted in trench warfare and a stalemate as both sides suffered massive casualties without significant gains. New weapons like tanks, planes, submarines, and poison gas were introduced but failed to break the stalemate. The US joined the Allies in 1917, and Germany surrendered in 1918 after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk separated Russia from the war and its resources were exhausted. The Treaty of Versailles ended WWI and imposed punitive terms on Germany. In total, over 20 million people died in the war making it
World War I was caused by militarism, imperialism, and a system of rival alliances between European powers. Countries had built up large militaries and still sought to expand their territories abroad. A network of agreements bound countries to allies, including the Triple Entente of Britain, France and Russia and the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand sparked the war after tensions had risen between these alliance blocs for years.
