Imperialism is very similar to colonialism, with one major difference: colonial powers settle the countries of which they gain control, while imperial powers do not. The term “imperialism” does not seem to exist prior to the 1800s. Nineteenth-century imperialism was spurred in large part by the Industrial Revolution. The development of new industrial economies in the 1700s and 1800s necessitated the acquisition of raw materials and the desire to gain control of marketplaces; thus, by the mid-1800s, imperialistic actions of strong nations (most notably European nations) started to become policy.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Students, digital devices and success - Andreas Schleicher - 27 May 2024..pptx
Populism
1. Objectives:
•Explain why farmers wanted a greenback currency and why
the adoption of the gold standard led to the Farmers’ Alliance.
•Describe who joined the Populist Party and what the party’s
goals were.
2. Unrest in Rural America
In the 1890’s, a political movement
called Populism emerged to
increase the political power of
farmers and to work for legislation
for farmers’ interests.
Greenbacks were paper currency
(printed in green on the back)
issued by the United States during
the American Civil War. They were
in two forms: Demand Notes, issued
in 1861–1862, and United States
Notes issued in 1862–1865. They
were legal tender by law, but were
not backed by gold or silver, only the
credibility of the U.S. government,
by fiat.
3. Inflation
This rapid increase in the money supply without a rapid
increase in goods for sale caused inflation–a decline in the
value of money.
• The prices of goods greatly increased.
• To get inflation under control, the federal government
stopped printing greenbacks and started paying off bonds.
• Congress also stopped making silver into coins.
4. Deflation
As a result, the country did not have a large enough money
supply to meet the needs of the growing economy.
• This led to deflation–or an increase in the value of
money and a decrease in the general level of prices.
• Deflation forced most farmers to borrow money to plant
their crops.
• The short supply of money caused an increase in interest
rates that the farmers owed.
5. The Grange
Some farmers wanted more greenbacks printed to
expand the money supply.
• Others wanted the government to mint silver coins.
• The Grange was a national farm organization
founded for social and educational purposes.
• When the country experienced a recession, large
numbers of farmers joined the Grange for help.
• The Grange changed its focus to respond to the
plight of farmers.
6. This lithograph, published in
1875, is a modification of the
Grange motto, "I pay for all."
It asserts that the farmer is
the central character upon
which all society relies, with
the central image of the
lithograph being a farmer
behind his plow, captioned,
"I feed you all!" This vignette
appears within a framework
of twigs and oak branches,
with stalks of corn and
sheaves of wheat in the
corners.
Surrounding the central farmer vignette is a series of other scenes of professionals, laborers, and
military and government agents. Clockwise from the upper left corner appear: a lawyer ("I Plead for
All"); a seated President Ulysses S. Grant ("I Rule for All"); an officer leading a charge ("I Fight for
All"); a clergyman at his pulpit ("I Preach for All"); a ship owner watching his vessel through a
window ("I Sail for All"); a shopkeeper in a general store ("I Buy & Sell for All"); a doctor with a scale
and drugs ("I Physic You All"); a banker at his window ("I Fleece You All"); a trader ("I Bull & Bear
for All"); and a railroad owner watching his locomotive ("I Carry for All").
7. Grangers put their money
together and created
cooperatives–marketing
organizations that worked
to help its members.
• The cooperatives pooled
members’ crops and held
them off the market
to force the prices to rise.
• Cooperatives could
negotiate better shipping
rates from railroads.
The Grange was unable to
improve the economic
conditions of farmers
By the late 1870s, many
farmers left the Grange and
joined other organizations
that offered to help
them solve their problems.
8. The Farmers’ Alliance
The Farmers’ Alliance was
formed in 1877
• By 1890 it had between 1.5 and
3 million members with
strength in the South and on
the Great Plains.
• The Alliance organized large
cooperatives called exchanges
for the purpose of forcing farm
prices up and making loans to
farmers at low interest rates.
• These exchanges mostly failed.
Many exchanges overextended
themselves by loaning too much
money at low interest rates that
were not repaid.
• Wholesalers, manufacturers,
railroads, and bankers
discriminated against the
exchanges.
• The exchanges were too small
to dramatically affect world
prices for farm products.

Farmers' Alliance, organized on a
statewide basis in Texas in 1878
9. Members of the Kansas
Alliance formed the People’s
Party, or Populists, to push
for political reforms that
would help farmers solve their
problems.
• Most Southern leaders of the
Alliance opposed the People’s
Party because they wanted
the Democrats to retain
control of the South.
• One Southern leader, Charles
Macune, came up with a
subtreasury plan to set
up warehouses where farmers
could store their crops to
force prices up.
In March 1889 Macune made use of a
$10,000 loan from a wealthy Texas
Alliance member and launched a new
publication, The National Economist.
10. The Rise of Populism
In 1890 the Farmers’ Alliance issued the Ocala Demands to help
farmers choose candidates in the 1890 elections.
• The demands included the adoption of the subtreasury plan that
required the establishment of federally controlled warehouses to aid
farmers, the free coinage of silver, an end to protective tariffs and
national banks, tighter regulation of the railroads, and direct
election of senators by voters.
• Many pro-Alliance Democrats were elected to office in the South.

1890
11. Election of 1892
In July 1892, the People’s Party
held its first national convention
where it nominated James B.
Weaver to run for president.
By early 1892, Southern
members of the Alliance
began to realize that
Democrats were not going to
keep their promises to the
Alliance and they were ready
to leave the Democratic
Party and join the People’s
Party.

President of the United States
12. 1892 Election
The People’s Party platform
called for unlimited coinage
of silver, federal ownership
of railroads, and a
graduated income tax, one
that taxes higher earnings
more heavily.
• It also called for an eight-hour workday, restriction of
immigration, and denounced the use of strikebreakers.
• Democrats nominated New Yorker Grover Cleveland for the
1892 presidential election.
• Cleveland won the election.
1892 electoral vote results
13. President Cleveland
President Cleveland wanted
to stop the flow of gold and
make it the sole basis for the
country’s currency, so he had
Congress repeal of the
Sherman Silver Purchase
Act which not only
required the U.S.
government
to purchase nearly twice as
much silver as before, but
also added substantially to
the amount of money
already in circulation.
• This caused the Democratic Party to
split into the goldbugs and the
silverites.
• Goldbugs believed the American
currency should be based only on
gold.
• Silverites believed coining silver in
unlimited amounts was the answer
to the nation’s economic crisis.
14. The Election of 1896
The Democrats nominated William
Jennings Bryan for the presidential
election of 1896.
• He strongly supported the unlimited
coinage of silver.
• Populists also supported Bryan for
president.
• The Republicans nominated William
McKinley of Ohio for president.
• He promised workers a “full dinner pail.”
• Most business leaders liked McKinley
because they thought that unlimited silver
coinage would ruin the country’s economy.
15. • McKinley won the election of 1896.
• New gold strikes in Alaska and Canada’s Yukon
Territory and in other parts of the world increased the
money supply without needing to use silver.
• As the silver issue died out, so did the Populist Party.
