1. Globalization
1789-1800

2. Dictionary Definition
• Globalization- is worldwide integration
and development: Globalization has
resulted in the loss of some individual
cultural identities.

3. France during this time….
• According to Smithsonian channels
“Trashopolis” – Paris
• In this time period France was a mess NOT what
we picture now, trash and garbage everywhere!
6 million people dead at the time from drinking
water contaminated with dead corpses! This
was their dark age.
• France’s nick name was Gaul meaning “dirty” in
Latin before it was the “city of lights”

5. 1793

queen and 22 when she had her first child she
ended up had 4 children
• The execution of Marie Antoinette who was only
37 when she died. (October 16, 1793)
• Her husband Louis XVI was executed on January
21 , 1793 he was only 38 when he died
• He was only king for 356 days! (not even a full
year)

6. History of the Guillotine
• The device was prototyped in Germany by the
secretary of the Academy of Surgeons, who
ensured that it was humane. By 1791, after a trial
period during which the device sliced through
countless cadavers, it was appointed France's
national death-sentence machine.
• (It became a tool of terrorism in the French
Revolution as the undiscerning blade silenced
nobles, radicals and ordinary citizens.)

7. Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI
Meanwhile, Thomas Jefferson, who'd described these principles in the
Declaration of Independence, had also declared that if France's queen Marie
Antoinette had been shut up in a convent, France could have avoided the
revolution [source: Smithsonian].

8. Jay’s Treaty 1794
• Britain was at war with revolutionary France.
• The United States was neutral despite its alliance
with France dating from the American
Revolutionary War.
• The Jay Treaty prevented war with Britain and
brought prosperity to merchants.
• It also led to the Pinckney Treaty with
Spain, granting free navigation on the Mississippi.

France, however, worsened.

10. 1798
• The Franco-American War was an un-declared
war fought mostly at sea between the United
States and French Republic from 1798 to
1800.

11. French Revolution- 1789-1799
• France had been divided into a three-class system.
The nobility made up the first class, the clergy the
second and the peasantry the third. There was no
room for social climbing.
• Their eyes were on the American colonies, where the
Americans had gone to war to claim their rights to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
• the French people were fighting for equality in life
• The French Revolution lasted for 10 years, from 1789
to 1799

12. I would personally think that as a Parisian at this moment and history I would be scared for my
life but I would actually be pretty happy that the garbage was recently (and years later) stacked
so high that we were unable to find bodies because I would at least be able to stand that foul
smell of rotting corps and hey who knows, who are in those catacombs ?

13. How does Globalization relate to the formation
of the American Identity in this period?
• I believe globalization relates to the formation of
the American Identity because with our
American Revolution we were the example for
everybody to follow we paved the way as to how
to have a revolution. How to get what you need
for yourself and your citizens. This had set the
scene for America to take center stage!
