Ch8lifeattheturnofthe20thcentury
By the turn of the 20th century, many changes emerged that transformed America into a modern, urban society. Cities grew substantially with over 40% of Americans living in urban areas supported by new technologies like elevators and steel construction allowing for skyscrapers. Urban planning projects expanded cities through new transportation systems, bridges, and parks. At the same time, legal discrimination became entrenched in the South through Jim Crow laws and the Supreme Court's approval of racial segregation, subjecting African Americans to unequal treatment and violence. As leisure time increased, a new mass culture also developed centered around amusement parks, spectator sports, newspapers, and the growth of consumerism through department stores and advertising.

Khanna part ii
Russia is losing influence in Central Asia as China's presence and investment in the region grows. Over 600,000 Chinese migrants move to resource-rich areas in Russia's Far East each year. Chinese firms have also taken over mines in Mongolia and Xinjiang and Tibet, which China occupied decades ago for their mineral wealth. While developing infrastructure, China's growing economic and political power in Central Asia threatens Russia's role as the dominant regional power.
The American Revolution 3
The American Revolution had several consequences, both positive and negative. Positively, it allowed for democratic politics and individual rights like liberty and equality to become core American values and inspired revolutions around the world. However, it also saddled the new nation with a massive $80 million debt from money owed to France, citizens, and individual states. This debt comprised the largest negative consequence of the American Revolution.
The American Revolution 2
The American Revolution caused major social, political, and intellectual changes in American government and society, establishing a republican form of government that represents the will of the people. The United States Constitution was written in 1787 and established the framework for government that still exists today, with additions like the Bill of Rights in 1791. Key Founding Fathers involved included Samuel Adams, Thomas Paine, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton.
Dutch
The Dutch Empire consisted of overseas territories controlled by the Netherlands from the 17th to 20th centuries. During this time, the Dutch established colonial holdings by exploring new territories alongside Spain and Portugal. At its peak in the 17th century, known as the Dutch Golden Age, the Netherlands dominated global commerce using its powerful navy and colonial possessions. However, the country lost its empire and colonies to Britain during the Revolutionary Wars, with its last holdings in the Dutch East Indies and Suriname gaining independence after World War II.
France 3
France expanded its colonial empire significantly in the 19th century, beginning with the takeover of Algeria in 1830. Over subsequent decades France gained control of territories across Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and most of Africa, establishing colonies in places like Vietnam, Cambodia, French Polynesia, and Tunisia. By the early 20th century after World War I, France's second colonial empire reached its peak with the addition of mandates in Syria and Lebanon.
France 2
France had several conflicts with Britain in the 18th century that led to the destruction of the first French Empire, including the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War. From the 1770s to 1800s, Britain took control of India and almost all of Canada from France, while France lost Louisiana, the West Indies, and a slave revolt in Haiti led to its independence from France.

France 1
France established its first colonial empire in 1605 with the settlement of Quebec City in Canada, which became the capital. Over the following centuries, France expanded its territories through alliances with local indigenous groups, establishing fur trading posts in Canada and colonies in Louisiana, Haiti, West Africa, and India. However, France began losing its North American lands starting in 1713 when Britain took over Acadia and expanded northward.
England 3
After World War II left Britain bankrupt, the United States loaned Britain 3.5 billion which was paid off by 2006. During the Cold War, Britain and the United States worked together to prevent the spread of communism from the Soviet Union. By 1965, the number of people under British rule declined drastically from 700 million to 5 million, with 3 million of those remaining in Hong Kong.

By 1965, the number of people under British rule declined drastically from 700 million to just 5 million, with 3 million of those being in Hong Kong.
England 2
Britain expanded its global holdings after defeating Napoleon in 1815, enjoying over a century of unchallenged dominance across Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. However, by the late 19th century, Britain started to lose its economic lead to Germany and the United States. While Britain was victorious in World Wars I and II, the wars left it financially strained and no longer the sole global superpower, as it gave up territories like India and parts of southeast Asia were occupied by others in the aftermath.
Portugal 2
Portugal relied heavily on sugarcane and gold production in Brazil during the colonial period. Sugarcane was the most important agricultural good shipped from Brazil to Europe by Portugal from the 1530s to 1700s, with the cultivation done by African slaves transported to Brazil. Gold became the main economic activity in Brazil in the early 1800s, with Portugal using the gold to purchase goods from other countries like England, though gold extraction was primarily done by slaves and tightly regulated by the Portuguese king.
Portugal 1
Portugal colonized Brazil in 1534 when King John III found the land and divided it into 15 sections to sell to Portuguese noblemen. Portugal then prospered by establishing sugarcane mills across Brazil in 1542 to produce the popular good for export to Europe. In 1549, King John III further established control over Brazil by creating the first central government to rule the colony from Portugal.
The Golden Age Of Spain
The Golden Age of Spain saw the country become extremely wealthy through silver mining in Mexico in the 1500s, with Spain controlling vast colonial territories across the world by the late 1500s. However, maintaining large armies and conflicts in Europe drained Spain's resources, forcing King Phillip to declare bankruptcy in the 1570s and sign a peace treaty with France in 1598 recognizing their king.
Oliver Cromwell
Oliver Cromwell was a leader of the Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War who defeated the royalists and King Charles I. He then became Lord Protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1649 until his death in 1658, turning England into a republican commonwealth. Cromwell was deeply religious and grounded his political views and speeches in biblical passages and imagery.
Spices And Other Things

It describes how Asia initially dominated the spice trade with India and established trade blockades. It also discusses how drugs like cacao, sugar, opium, tea, tobacco, and coffee came to define modern cultures and how the Aztecs traded goods like rubber, chocolate, and obsidian.
The World In 1492
In 1492, several significant global events occurred:
1) Christopher Columbus received funding from Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain to sail west in search of Asia, leading to his accidental discovery of the Americas and the beginning of Spanish colonization there.
2) Most of the Eastern Hemisphere was under Muslim rule, stretching from Southern Europe and Northern Africa to South Asia, while South Asia was predominantly Buddhist.
3) The linking of the Eastern and Western hemispheres through Columbus' voyage merged the vastly different cultures and food staples of the two halves of the world.
