The Revolution began in 1789 when the Third Estate formed the National Assembly and took the Tennis Court Oath to write a constitution. This led to unrest, the storming of the Bastille prison, and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. However, revolutionary violence increased in the following years as the monarchy was overthrown and King Louis XVI was executed.

The document also outlines Japan's surrender following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Industrial revolution
The Industrial Revolution fundamentally changed production from human labor to machines powered by new energy sources like steam. It began in the late 18th century in England and spread throughout Europe and North America in the 19th century. Key developments included the invention of steam engines, increased coal and iron production to power machinery, and improvements in transportation like railroads and steamships that allowed for mass production and distribution of goods on a new scale.
Napoleon
Napoleon rose to power through his military genius, establishing peace with the Catholic Church, implementing the Civil Code, and turning conquered lands into allies. His fall was due to Britain's survival despite Napoleon's attempts to cut off trade, the failure of his Continental System blockade against Britain, rising nationalism in conquered peoples, and his disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812.

The enlightenment overiew
The Enlightenment thinkers believed that reason could be used to solve social, political, and economic problems. They advocated for limited government based on separation of powers to protect individual liberties. Major thinkers included Locke, who believed people form governments to protect natural rights like life, liberty, and property. Montesquieu advocated for separation of powers among branches of government. Physiocrats rejected mercantilism in favor of laissez faire economic policies with little government interference. Adam Smith supported free markets regulated by supply and demand.
Ming and qing
The Ming and Qing dynasties ruled China from 1368-1911. The Ming dynasty pursued a policy of isolationism after the voyages of Zheng He, withdrawing from exploration and trade with other nations. This isolation weakened China over time. The Qing dynasty was ruled by the Manchu people, who maintained control over China for centuries but saw decline in the 1800s due to mismanagement, corruption, and rebellions like the Taiping Rebellion. By 1911 China had grown weak and the Qing dynasty was overthrown.
Reformation
Martin Luther's nailing of his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg in 1517 is seen as sparking the Protestant Reformation. The document outlines several issues with the Catholic Church that paved the way for reform, including corruption such as the selling of indulgences, as well as political conflicts between popes and kings that undermined the Church's authority. Luther's spreading of his teachings through writings helped grow the new Protestant movement against Catholic doctrine and power of the papacy. The Reformation transformed Christianity in Europe.
Renaissance
The document discusses how the Renaissance originated in Italy in the 1400s and then spread to other parts of Europe through Italian trade routes, transmitting new ideas in areas like humanism, art, and architecture that were influenced by the rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman knowledge. Some of the factors that supported the Italian Renaissance included wealth from trade, competition between city-states, and the preservation of classical works by Arab scholars that were brought back to Italy. The new Renaissance ideas then influenced developments in other European countries in subsequent centuries through Italy's commercial dominance.
Roles of the president
The document outlines several roles of the President of the United States. As Commander-in-Chief, the President has supreme authority over the military but Congress declares war. As Chief Executive, the President must work with Congress to enact their agenda and compromise on issues. As Chief Diplomat, the President negotiates treaties and conducts foreign relations to protect American interests abroad.
Mass media chapter 7
The document discusses the influence of mass media on politics and policymaking. It describes how media shape public opinion and the political agenda by influencing what issues are considered important. It traces the development of media politics from print media to broadcast television to new technologies like cable news channels and the internet. The media are biased toward dramatic stories and images in their pursuit of large audiences and advertising profits.
Chapter 11 interest groups
This document discusses interest groups and their role in influencing government. It defines interest groups as collections of people who share common interests and seek to influence policy. Interest groups engage in tactics like lobbying to achieve their goals. Examples are given of different types of interest groups, such as single-issue groups, as well as tactics they use like litigation. Problems that can arise with interest groups are also outlined, such as the disproportionate influence of some groups. Key terms related to interest groups and their activities are defined.
Chapter 8 Political Parties
Political parties serve important functions in American politics such as linking citizens' concerns to government, picking candidates, running campaigns, and coordinating policymaking. There are three components of a political party: the party in the electorate consisting of voters, the party organization made up of local and national officials and staff, and the party in government comprising elected representatives. Throughout American history, political parties have undergone periods of dominance by one party known as party eras, which are sometimes punctuated by critical elections that cause party realignments. While third parties rarely win elections, they can influence the major parties by bringing new issues and constituencies into politics.
Punic Wars
The document summarizes the three Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage between 264-146 BC. It describes how the first war was primarily a naval conflict in which Rome adapted its tactics and eventually defeated Carthage. The second war saw Hannibal invade Italy by crossing the Alps with his army. Although he defeated several Roman armies, he could not defeat Rome itself. Eventually Rome landed an army in North Africa led by Scipio Africanus, defeating Hannibal at Zama. The third war saw Rome, pushed by Cato the Elder, destroy Carthage completely, ending its existence and influence.
Ali the G
Alexander the Great conquered the largest empire in the ancient world in just 10 years from Macedonia to India. He spread Greek culture and defeated King Darius III of Persia in multiple battles, burning the royal city of Persepolis to the ground. Though he pushed his army to their limits marching into India, the Macedonians rebelled and refused to go further, forcing Alexander to begin the long retreat back to Babylon where he died at age 33, leaving his empire divided among his generals.
4.3
Democracy is not the only form of government that allows every person's voice to be heard, as evidenced by the limitations of ancient Athenian democracy. While Pericles expanded Athenian democracy in the 5th century BC, giving more citizens the right to vote and participate in government, many groups like women and slaves were still excluded from political participation and having their voices heard.
