Progressivism aimed to reform society and improve living conditions in the early 20th century. Reformers sought to address unfair treatment of workers, expose corruption through muckraking journalism like Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, and establish settlement houses including Jane Addams' Hull House to help the poor in cities dealing with epidemics, unsafe water, and lack of sanitation. Several amendments were passed as part of the Progressive Era to enact political reforms such as giving women the right to vote with the 19th Amendment and establishing the federal income tax with the 16th Amendment.

Industrial Revolution.ppt
The Industrial Revolution transformed the economy as people stopped making goods at home and worked in factories powered by new technologies like the steam engine. This led to rapid industrialization and factories producing goods faster and cheaper using assembly lines. New transportation networks like canals, railroads, and the transcontinental railroad facilitated the movement of raw materials, factory goods, and people. Mass immigration provided the workforce while new inventions electrified factories and illuminated cities, fueling further industrial and economic growth.
World History - Changing ways of life
1) Between 1800-1900, the population of Europe doubled due to declining death rates from improved nutrition, medicine and public health advances like vaccinations and pasteurization of milk.
2) Major figures like Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch and Florence Nightingale helped fight diseases through identifying their causes, vaccinations and introducing sanitary measures in hospitals.
3) Growing cities featured urban renewal, infrastructure like sewers and sidewalks, and new building types such as government buildings, department stores and skyscrapers, though many still lived in poor conditions.

Industrialism
The Industrial Revolution was a period from the 18th to 19th century where major changes in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, and technology had a profound socioeconomic impact. This included a shift from an agricultural to industrial economy based on factory production rather than home production. New technologies like the steam engine allowed factories to mass produce goods. This led to urbanization as people moved to cities to work in the factories. While industrialization increased production, it also led to poor living and working conditions for many.
industrial revoulition
The Industrial Revolution began in England in the mid-1700s, driven by large populations of workers, natural resources like water power and coal, and a growing banking system. It led to a shift from manufacturing goods by hand to machine-made, mass-produced goods. This greatly increased production but also caused cities to grow rapidly without proper infrastructure, resulting in poor living conditions. However, industrialization ultimately generated jobs, wealth, and technological advances that improved quality of life over time.
Progressives 1
Progressives during the 1890-1917 period attempted to address problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, and laissez-faire policies. They were generally white, middle-class, native-born professionals and reformers who pushed for social justice, political democracy, economic equality, and conservation. Muckrakers exposed corruption through investigative journalism to raise public awareness and spur reforms, while progressives proposed solutions. Their efforts led to legislation at both the state and federal level to regulate industry, protect workers and consumers, reduce political corruption, and conserve natural resources.
Progressive Movement
The Progressive Movement sought to address issues exposed by journalists and reformers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Journalists uncovered corruption in government and unhealthy, unsafe working conditions. Reformers pushed for greater government responsiveness and regulations on businesses. Some key effects included improved working conditions, more business regulations, and expanded citizen power through initiatives, referendums, and recall elections. Muckraking journalists like Ida Tarbell and Upton Sinclair exposed issues that helped spur reforms addressing political corruption, unsafe industries, and social issues like prohibition and women's suffrage.

Overall, the period brought widespread changes to address major problems through active government intervention.
Unit 5.1 urbanisation
The document summarizes the process of urbanization in 19th century Britain. As the population rapidly grew in cities due to the Industrial Revolution, overcrowding and unsanitary conditions led to widespread disease outbreaks. Millions lived in cramped, dark back-to-back houses with no running water or sewers. Reformers like Edwin Chadwick brought attention to the public health crisis and its link to high death rates. Laws were passed to build modern sewage systems and improve living standards in cities. By the early 20th century, urbanization was complete and living conditions had significantly improved through these reforms.

Industrial revolution
The Industrial Revolution brought a shift from handmade goods to factory and mass production, beginning in Britain in the late 18th century. While the US was initially slow to adopt these methods due to limited labor and capital, innovations like Samuel Slater's textile mill in 1793 helped launch the American factory system. The Lowell Mills in Massachusetts then revolutionized textile manufacturing using the "Lowell System" of employing young farm women. Throughout the 19th century, new inventions increasingly automated industrial processes, driving economic growth but also exposing workers, including many children, to difficult and unsafe conditions. Unions fought for better treatment. The cotton gin, steamboat, reaper, and other innovations transformed industries and interconnected regions, aided by

Finally, it provides details on reforms in Britain that expanded voting rights and increased the power of the House of Commons, as well as rising anti-Semitism in Europe during the Dreyfus Affair in France.
DAY ONE QUESTION C
The document summarizes Progressive Era reforms around the turn of the 20th century. Progressives sought to address problems from industrialization like poor working conditions exposed by photographers like Lewis Hine and authors like Upton Sinclair. Urban immigrants lived in overcrowded tenements as shown by Jacob Riis. Settlement houses like Jane Addams' Hull House helped immigrants assimilate. Progressives also pushed for political reforms to curb monopolies and corruption exposed by "muckrakers," aiming to fix social injustices.
Ap progressive era
The Progressive Era saw a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the United States from the 1890s to 1920s. Reformers sought to address issues stemming from industrialization, urbanization, and political corruption through efforts to better living and working conditions, increase efficiency in government, and curb social ills. Notable reform movements included muckraking journalism, the settlement house movement, women's suffrage, prohibition, and efforts to regulate railroads and trusts. While diverse, Progressives broadly shared beliefs in using scientific expertise and government intervention to enact social and political change.

Plymouth
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
Ch 18 sec 1
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.
Ch 17 sec 5
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.
Ch 17 sec 3
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
Ch 17 sec 1
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.

Editor's Notes
- Labored long hours and unsafe conditions, which in some cases led to disastersDoors to the shirtwaist company were locked to keep the workers on the job, so they couldn’t get outTextile workers inhaled cotton lint and some contracted “brown lung” disease and later died from it
- Or went on strike…it did little good to try to change jobs…troublemakers would not be hired
- Due to crowded conditions of the city, diphtheria, smallpox, cholera, typhus, scarlet fever and tuberculosisGarbage created a terrible stench and became a breeding ground for germs, rodents, disease, and harmful insectsFire hydrants were opened at certain times for bathing or other usesHousing conditions were bad, but the prisons, mental hospitals, and other institutions was worse.
- Provided food, clothing and child care, recreation and classes
- For the parents of city children, supervised recreation was a major service provided by settlement houses. This 1924 photo was taken on the "roof playground" of the Irene Kaufman Settlement.

- Everyone should get a square deal
- With all of the focus on foreign affairs, progressive politics fell by the wayside
