The document summarizes key events of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1793. It describes the causes of the revolution, including the influence of Enlightenment ideas, the monarchy's financial crisis, and tensions between the three estates. It outlines major developments like the storming of the Bastille, the establishment of the National Assembly, adoption of the Declaration of Rights of Man, and King Louis XVI's failed escape. It also discusses the shift to more radical rule by the Jacobins and Robespierre's dictatorship known as the Reign of Terror.
The French Revolution occurred from 1789 to 1799 and overthrew the French monarchy and feudal system. It established France as a republic and introduced principles of citizenship and inalienable rights. The revolution was caused by famine, rising debt, taxation, and failure of reforms under the monarchy. It involved the storming of the Bastille fortress in Paris, the establishment of a National Assembly, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. The revolution eventually spiraled into the Reign of Terror led by Robespierre, with thousands executed by guillotine before his own fall from power. Napoleon later took control of France and established himself as emperor.
The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) was a devastating conflict fought mainly in Central Europe that began as a religious war between Catholic and Protestant states in the Holy Roman Empire but expanded to include most of the major powers in Europe. Religious and political tensions between Protestant and Catholic states, as well as the competing territorial ambitions of countries like Spain, France, Sweden, and the Dutch Republic turned an internal German struggle into an international war. The war crippled the Holy Roman Empire and resulted in massive loss of life in Germany, while strengthening the positions of Sweden, France, and Prussia in European affairs.
1) Absolute monarchs believed all power resided with them as representatives of God on Earth. Religious conflicts plagued France between Catholics and Protestants. Henry IV converted to Catholicism to restore order and issued the Edict of Nantes granting religious freedom.
2) Louis XIV weakened the nobility and revoked the Edict of Nantes, pursuing absolute rule as the state. His ministers like Colbert and Richelieu aimed to strengthen France.
3) The English Civil War erupted over disputes on royal power between King Charles I and Parliament, leading to Cromwell's establishment of a republic before the restoration of the monarchy.
The document provides background information on the interwar period and World War 2. It discusses the Russian Revolution and establishment of the USSR. The Bolshevik revolution established a communist government led by Lenin that nationalized industries and abolished private property. A civil war ensued from 1918 to 1921 which the Red Army won, consolidating Bolshevik rule. Stalin later established a totalitarian dictatorship through policies like collectivization, industrialization and the Gulag system. The document also covers the rise of fascism in Germany under Hitler and Italy under Mussolini as responses to economic crisis and a rejection of democracy.
The revolutions of 1848 saw uprisings across Europe seeking liberal reforms and national independence. Revolutions broke out in cities like Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Milan. However, the revolutions ultimately failed due to several factors. They did not attract widespread support from workers and peasants. As revolutions turned more radical, the middle class withdrew support. Nationalist goals divided rather than united in places like Germany and Italy. Where revolutions succeeded temporarily, the old ruling elites were left intact and moved to reassert control. By 1850, the pre-revolutionary political order was largely restored across Europe through direct military intervention or co-optation of liberal gains.
Feudalism developed in Medieval Europe as a result of the lack of strong central governments after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Kings granted land to vassals in exchange for their loyalty and military service. These vassals then granted land to their own vassals, creating a hierarchy with the king at the top. Peasants lived and worked on the land but were bound to the lord, either as freemen who paid taxes or serfs owned by the lord. The feudal system organized Medieval society into estates with different rights and roles. Nobles and clergy were privileged while peasants and workers formed the non-privileged estates. Towns and trade grew, leading to the rise of craft
The French Revolution was caused by social inequalities, unfair taxation that burdened the poor, and new Enlightenment ideas that inspired the people to seek change. 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. Maximilien Robespierre then rose to power and instituted the Reign of Terror from 1793-1794, executing over 40,000 people with the guillotine before he too was over
Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power in France during the French Revolution. He established himself as the Emperor of France and expanded French territory across Europe through military conquest. At the height of his power, Napoleon controlled a vast empire stretching from France to Russia. However, his invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous and marked the beginning of his decline in power. After being defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena, where he died in 1821. His reign significantly influenced the development of nationalism and the modernization of legal codes across Europe.

World War I began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia. This caused countries to take sides and enter the war through a series of alliances, with the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire fighting against the Allied Powers including Britain, France, Russia and later the United States. Major battles included the Battle of the Marne in 1914 where Germany failed to capture Paris, and the Battle of the Somme in 1916 which was the bloodiest day for Britain. The United States entered the war in 1917 after German U-boats attacked American ships, and launched a major offensive in 1918 that helped turn the tide in favor of the Allies
The document summarizes several European revolutions that occurred between 1830 and 1848. It discusses the French Revolutions of 1830 and 1848, where citizens revolted due to a desire for more liberal governments and an expansion of voting rights. It also outlines revolutions in Belgium, Poland, the Austrian Empire, Italy, and Germany, which were largely driven by nationalist sentiments of various ethnic groups who wanted independent nation states. Of the revolutions discussed, only the Belgian Revolution resulted in the successful establishment of an independent country.
The French Revolution began in 1789 due to political and economic grievances with the monarchy. The Third Estate, which made up 97% of the population but had no political power, demanded equal representation. When King Louis XVI refused, the Bastille prison was stormed on July 14th, 1789, marking the start of the Revolution. The National Assembly abolished the special privileges of the nobility and clergy and created a constitutional monarchy, declaring equal rights and liberties for all citizens. However, foreign threats and the execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette led to the Reign of Terror, with thousands executed by guillotine under Robespierre's Jacobin leadership before it ended.
The document provides an overview of the 18th century Enlightenment period in Europe and Spain. Some key ideas spread during this time included reason, science, education, equality, and liberty. Enlightenment thinkers criticized traditions and proposed political and economic reforms, though their ideas faced resistance. Examples of reforms included constitutional monarchy, separation of powers, and increased rights. Enlightened despotism developed but ultimately failed due to its retention of privileges. The American Revolution successfully established a federal republic based on Enlightenment principles of popular sovereignty and separation of powers. Spain underwent reforms under the new Bourbon dynasty including centralization of power and modernization of agriculture and craftsmanship.
The major events of the RUSSIAN REVOLUTION, a series of two revolutions in RUSSIA in 1917. The first revolution in March (O.S. February) deposed TSAR NICHOLAS II. The second revolution in November (O.S. October) toppled the Provisional Government and handed power to the Bolsheviks, giving way to the rise of the SOVIET UNION (U.S.S.R.), the world's first communist state.

THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE ANCIENT REGIMEnuriaccastelo
The document provides an overview of 18th century European society, economy, politics, and culture. It describes the stratified social structure consisting of privileged and non-privileged estates. The privileged estates such as nobility and clergy had special rights and did not have to work, while the non-privileged estates like peasants and bourgeoisie worked and paid taxes. Absolute monarchy grew stronger during this period, though England established a parliamentary monarchy. The Enlightenment era saw new ideas challenging traditional religious authority and justifying more rational and representative forms of government.
World War 1 was caused by long-term tensions between European nations such as nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and the alliance system. The immediate cause was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist on June 28, 1914. This triggered a series of declarations of war between European powers with secret alliances that led all major European powers to enter the war.
The document summarizes key events of the Age of Liberal Revolutions from 1789-1871. It covers:
1) The French Revolution from 1789-1799 which overthrew the monarchy and established a republic through several phases, before Napoleon's rise to power.
2) Napoleon's rule from 1799-1815 as Consul and Emperor, during which he conquered much of Europe before his defeat.
3) The period from 1815-1848 of conflict between absolutism and liberalism/nationalism, which led to several revolutionary movements across Europe seeking greater rights and national unity.
4) The unifications of Italy and Germany from the 1850s-1870s
1) Many Enlightenment philosophers believed that enlightened monarchs could best reform society from above, as they distrusted allowing changes from the masses.
2) Frederick the Great of Prussia and Catherine the Great of Russia promoted aspects of the Enlightenment like education and legal reform while maintaining absolute rule.
3) Monarchs like Maria Theresa of Austria and Joseph II of Austria introduced limited reforms to reduce the power of the nobility and church, but faced opposition that prevented lasting changes.
The document provides an overview of the Age of Absolutism in Europe between the 16th-19th centuries. It summarizes the rise of absolute monarchies in Spain, France, England, and Russia during this period and their eventual downfalls. Key events included the defeat of the Spanish Armada weakening Spain's power, the English Civil War replacing the absolute British monarchy with a constitutional one, and the Russian Revolution overthrowing the Russian czar and establishing communism.
The document provides an overview of the Interwar Period from 1919-1939. It summarizes that after World War 1, hopes for peace failed as the Russian Revolution led to Stalin's regime in Russia and the 1929 stock market crash triggered a global economic depression. During this time, totalitarian regimes like fascism in Italy under Mussolini and Nazism in Germany under Hitler rose to power and imposed cruel dictatorships through repression of opposition and harsh racism and nationalism.
The document provides background information on the causes of the Russian Revolutions of 1905, February 1917, and October 1917. It discusses factors such as Russia's backward economic and social conditions under the Tsar, including a large peasant population and inefficient bureaucracy. It also examines the impact of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, which saw Russia suffer several major defeats and damaged national pride, fueling further unrest and calls for reform. Overall, the document outlines many long-term and short-term factors that contributed to revolutionary sentiment in Russia.
The Carolingian Empire originated from the weak Frankish Kingdom. Charles Martel, the powerful Mayor of the Palace, defeated the Muslims in 732 and his son Pippin the Short became king in 751 after defeating the Frankish king. Pippin's son Charlemagne sought to rebuild the Western Roman Empire by conquering the Lombard Kingdom and defeating the Saxons. In 800, Charlemagne was crowned emperor by the Pope. Upon his death in 814, Charlemagne's son Louis the Pious became emperor but the empire was divided among his three sons by the Treaty of Verdun in 843.
The Congress of Vienna from 1814 to 1815 aimed to redraw the political map of Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. Key goals included reducing France's power by returning its borders to 1792 lines, restoring monarchies that Napoleon had replaced, and establishing a new balance of power through territorial concessions that strengthened Austria, Prussia, Russia and other states. The Congress made numerous decisions that reshaped borders and transferred lands, seeking to prevent future conflicts through this reorganization of Europe.
The document summarizes the revolutions that occurred across Europe in 1848. Known as the "Springtime of Peoples," the revolutions were sparked by various economic, social, and political tensions in the years leading up to 1848. Revolutions broke out in key areas like France, the German states, Italy, and the Austrian Empire, though they had varying levels of success and most were ultimately crushed by conservative forces. The revolutions failed to achieve long-lasting change and instead strengthened conservative rule across Europe.
The document summarizes key events and developments in Europe during the interwar period following World War 1. It discusses the global economic imbalances that emerged, with the US as the leading power and European nations indebted. The Great Depression started with the 1929 Wall Street crash and led to widespread unemployment and economic crisis. Totalitarian regimes arose in Germany and Italy as democratic governments struggled with unrest. Nazi Germany established a totalitarian state under Hitler focused on racial ideology and rearmament for expansion.
The document summarizes key events of the Scientific Revolution, Enlightenment, French Revolution, and Napoleon's rise to power. The Scientific Revolution involved a shift away from the geocentric view towards using observation and experimentation. The Enlightenment applied rational thinking to understand society and challenge traditional institutions. The French Revolution overthrew the monarchy and established a republic but then descended into the Reign of Terror under Robespierre. Napoleon later took control of France and established himself as Emperor, building a large European empire through military conquest before eventually being defeated.

The French Revolution overthrew the monarchy and established a republic but then descended into the Reign of Terror under Robespierre. Napoleon later took control of France and established himself as Emperor, building a large European empire through military conquest before eventually being defeated.
The French Revolution began in 1789 due to longstanding inequalities between social classes and the abuse of power by King Louis XVI. Inequality among the three estates and Enlightenment ideas led the Third Estate to form the National Assembly and storm the Bastille prison, marking the start of the revolution. The monarchy was overthrown and a republic established, but radical Jacobins seized power and instituted a Reign of Terror from 1793-94 using the guillotine to execute those seen as enemies of the revolution. By 1794 moderate leaders had ended the Terror and executions.
Napoleon Bonaparte rose rapidly through the military ranks from a young age, becoming an artillery officer at 16. He received a state-paid education in France and attended the Brienne military academy. Despite facing ridicule as a student, Napoleon secured a position in the army at a young age. He had a successful military career, winning several important battles in Italy and Egypt. Napoleon's campaign in Egypt was ultimately a failure when the British Navy defeated his forces. He abandoned his troops in Egypt and returned to France, where he staged a coup and became the country's first consul, rising to power in part due to his military successes and ambition.
Napoleon was born in Corsica in 1769 and showed early aptitude in mathematics. He rose through the ranks of the French military during the French Revolution and established his reputation as a military commander during the Siege of Toulon in 1793. His successful military campaigns in Italy in the late 1790s brought him great fame and allowed him to seize political power in France as First Consul in 1799, beginning his rule of France.

The document concludes with an overview of the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States and the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814 that ended hostilities.
The document summarizes the key events of the French Revolution and the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. It describes how the French Revolution began in 1789 due to widespread discontent with the unequal system of the three estates and growing debt. This led to the storming of the Bastille prison and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. However, internal conflicts and war with other European nations plunged France into a Reign of Terror. The revolution was later stabilized under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte, who crowned himself Emperor. However, his military defeats eventually led to his exile and the restoration of the French monarchy.
The Napoleonic Wars were a series of conflicts between 1799-1815 in which France, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, fought various European countries. Napoleon rose to power during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns. The wars involved nearly all European nations and changed the nature of warfare. They established France as the dominant military power on the continent until Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo in 1815.
Napoleon keeps a diary detailing his rise to power on Animal Farm and increasing authoritarian rule. He recounts chasing Snowball from the farm and taking sole command. Though he adopts Snowball's idea to build a windmill, it is repeatedly destroyed by enemies. Napoleon orders the death of animals suspected of disloyalty. Over the years, the windmill is rebuilt but used for corn rather than power. Napoleon begins walking on two legs and taking on human habits, changing the farm's name to Manor Farm and forming an alliance with the neighboring farmer.
The document provides an overview of political developments in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars and Congress of Vienna from 1814 to 1815. It discusses the goals of Klemens von Metternich to restore monarchies, contain France, and establish a balance of power.

The French Revolution began in 1788 as King Louis XVI called the Estates-General due to France's bankrupt treasury. This led to conflict between the three estates of French society, and the formation of the National Assembly to represent citizens more equally. On July 14, 1789, the storming of the Bastille fortress by Parisians symbolized the people's growing discontent with the absolute monarchy. The Revolution then spread violence and turmoil across France as radical factions gained influence and instituted the Reign of Terror under Robespierre, sending thousands to the guillotine until his own execution in 1794. The monarchy was abolished, leaving France a democratic republic but still unstable amid conflict with other European nations.
The document summarizes the events leading up to the Russian Revolution in 1917. Rapid industrialization and harsh conditions for workers led to unrest. Czar Nicholas II proved unable to handle the problems facing Russia, including World War I. In March 1917, widespread strikes and protests caused Nicholas to abdicate, yet the provisional government that replaced him struggled to maintain control. This allowed Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks to seize power in November 1917, establishing Soviet rule in Russia.
This document provides details about the social and political structure, known as the Old Regime, that existed in France prior to the French Revolution.

The French Revolution began in 1789 and overthrew the French monarchy and established a republic. It was inspired by liberal and radical ideas from the Enlightenment and profoundly altered modern history by replacing absolute monarchies with republics and democracies. The Revolution started with the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 and continued until Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power. It had far-reaching social and political impacts in France and beyond.
The document provides an overview of the French Revolution from 1789-1799. It discusses the society before the revolution consisting of three estates, the five main causes being social, political, economic, intellectual and immediate causes. It outlines the roles of ordinary people and women in the revolution, with women gaining new rights. Key events included the storming of the Bastille prison and the formation of a constitutional monarchy with reforms abolishing privileges of the nobility and clergy.
The French Revolution from 1789 to 1799 led to widespread political, social, and economic changes in France. It abolished the monarchy, established a republic, and was inspired by Enlightenment ideals of liberty, equality and popular sovereignty. However, the revolution became increasingly radical and violent under Maximilien Robespierre's Reign of Terror from 1793 to 1794, with thousands executed by guillotine. The revolution eventually gave way to Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power as dictator in 1799.
The document summarizes the social and political structure of France prior to the French Revolution, known as the Old Regime. Under this system, French society was rigidly divided into three estates - clergy, nobility, and commoners. The nobility and clergy comprised only a small portion of the population but held most of the wealth and political power. Growing economic problems and resentment of the privileges of the higher estates led to calls for reform and eventually sparked the French Revolution.
The French Revolution began in 1789 and overthrew the French monarchy and established a republic. It was caused by social inequality, tax burden on the lower class, influence of Enlightenment ideas, and financial crisis from wars. Key events included the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris in 1789 and the execution of King Louis XVI in 1793. The revolution went through different governmental forms including a constitutional monarchy, republic, and dictatorship under Napoleon. It profoundly changed French society and government and had widespread impact across Europe.
The French Revolution began on July 14, 1789 when hundreds of French workers stormed the Bastille fortress in Paris, marking the beginning of a decade-long period of social and political upheaval. Frustrated by the unequal privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy and clergy under the strict social hierarchy of the Ancient Regime, common workers and peasants rebelled to overthrow the absolute monarchy and establish a new social order. The Revolution had widespread impacts across France and Europe as it sought to replace the Old Order with a system of greater equality and representative government.
The French Revolution began in 1789 with the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris by revolutionaries seeking ammunition and to free political prisoners. This sparked further riots across Paris and the countryside. French society at the time was divided into three estates, with the clergy and nobility as privileged classes exempt from taxes. Commoners faced subsistence crises due to population growth, rising food prices, and natural disasters. Enlightenment philosophers began spreading new ideas of equality and inalienable rights that influenced the growing middle class to demand an end to privileges. In 1789, King Louis XVI called the Estates General to approve new taxes but tensions rose and the Third Estate declared the National Assembly, seeking to draft a new constitution limiting royal
The document provides an overview of the Age of Revolution from the late 18th century to the 19th century. Key revolutions during this period include the American Revolution and revolutions in various European countries. These revolutions transformed politics, society, economics, and arts in Europe and its colonies. They brought an end to absolute monarchy and feudalism, established new nation states like Germany and Italy, and advanced ideals of nationalism, liberalism, and representative democracy. The profound changes from these revolutions mark the transition between the Modern Age and Contemporary Age in history.
Louis XVI ascended the throne of France in 1774 and faced an empty treasury. He called a meeting of the Estates General in 1788 to address financial issues. The third estate demanded equal representation which sparked the French Revolution. The third estate declared itself the National Assembly and adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man. The king was overthrown and France became a republic, but revolutionary wars led to instability and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte as a military dictator.
The French Revolution began in 1787 as France faced a fiscal crisis and political deadlock between the estates. In 1789, the Estates-General convened but disagreed on voting procedures, leading the Third Estate to declare itself the National Assembly. Key events escalated tensions, including the Tennis Court Oath, the storming of the Bastille, and the Great Fear in the countryside. The National Assembly worked to dismantle the power of the church and nobility while establishing citizens' rights with the Declaration of Rights of Man. However, divisions grew over issues like the Civil Constitution of the Clergy and Louis XVI's attempts to flee the country.
1) The document summarizes key events and causes of the French Revolution from 1789-1791, including the storming of the Bastille, establishment of the National Assembly, and creation of a constitutional monarchy.
2) French society was divided into three estates, with the clergy, nobility, and bourgeoisie in the first two estates enjoying privileges over the third estate of peasants and laborers. Economic troubles and Enlightenment ideas led the third estate to revolt.
3) Women played an active role in the Revolution and fought for equal political and legal rights, though full equality was not achieved until the 20th century. The Revolution also eventually led to the abolition of slavery in French colonies.

The document provides an overview of the key events of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799. It discusses the social structure under the French monarchy with the three estates, growing discontent among the third estate, events that sparked the revolution like the storming of the Bastille, and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. However, further unrest led to the rise of radical Jacobins, the execution of Louis XVI, the Reign of Terror under Robespierre, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, bringing the revolutionary period to a close.
Prior to the revolution, France was one of the most powerful countries in Europe but was in deep financial crisis due to years of war and debt. As economic conditions deteriorated, resentment grew among commoners towards the privileged nobility and clergy. On July 14, 1789, protesters stormed the Bastille prison, marking the start of the French Revolution. Over the next few years, the monarchy was overthrown and King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were executed for treason, leading to the establishment of a republic. However, internal power struggles and the Reign of Terror led by Robespierre resulted in thousands of deaths before a new, more moderate government came to power.
The document summarizes the key causes of the French Revolution in the late 1700s. The social causes included an unfair tax system that heavily burdened the commoners while exempting the nobility, as well as poor living and working conditions. The political causes were a weak monarchy under King Louis XVI and a lack of democratic representation. Finally, the economic causes included bankruptcy from the lavish spending of Louis XV and Marie Antoinette, as well as widespread famine. Philosophers like Voltaire and Rousseau inspired the people to protest this unjust system through their writings advocating liberty, equality and democracy.
On July 14, 1789, the city of Paris was alarmed as the king had sent troops to patrol the territory. Rumors spread that the king planned to fire on citizens. In response, thousands of citizens gathered, formed militias, and seized weapons and ammunition. They then stormed the Bastille prison and released the prisoners. This marked the beginning of the French Revolution, sparked by economic troubles, inequality, and public unrest. The revolution led to widespread political and social change, including the abolition of the monarchy and establishment of a republic.
The French Revolution began in 1789 and overthrew the French monarchy and feudal system of government. France was facing a financial crisis due to debt from wars and spending by the king and queen. Inspired by Enlightenment ideas, the Third Estate revolted and common people took to the streets due to high bread prices. The National Assembly was formed and abolished privileges of the clergy and nobility. However, internal conflicts led to the establishment of a republic and Reign of Terror under Robespierre. The revolution transformed France from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy and later a republic while also spreading ideas of liberty, equality and popular sovereignty.

The document summarizes key events in Russia between 1871-1914 and during the Russian Revolution of 1917. It describes how Russia was an absolute monarchy in the late 19th century with a semi-feudal economy. Involvement in World War 1 exacerbated Russia's political and economic problems and led to two revolutions in 1917 - the February Revolution replaced the Tsar with a provisional government, while the October Revolution brought the Bolsheviks to power under Lenin. After a civil war, the Bolsheviks established the Soviet Union, implementing the first communist state based on a single-party dictatorship of the proletariat.
The Weimar Republic was established in Germany after World War 1 and faced significant challenges, including economic devastation from war reparations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. The early years of the Weimar Republic saw political instability from communist and nationalist groups as well as hyperinflation resulting from France occupying the Ruhr Valley.

2. It explains factors that influence population distribution including physical conditions, human conditions, and population density which is used to measure distribution.
3. It describes natural population change through births and deaths, and how birth rates and death rates are calculated and vary between developed and developing countries. Natural increase is the difference between births and deaths.
4. It discusses regular and migratory population movement, with migratory movement including emigration and immigration between places.
The document discusses different types of maps. It defines maps as pictures of Earth's surface that can be general reference maps showing landmarks and boundaries or thematic maps focusing on specific topics. Thematic maps grew in importance with GIS. The document describes political maps as showing only state and national boundaries and city locations, and physical maps as depicting landscape features like mountains, rivers, and elevation changes using colors. Thematic maps focus on a particular theme rather than just showing natural features, and were not widely used until the 17th century when base maps became accurate enough.
Maps represent the spherical Earth on a flat surface, which requires projections that distort the globe's shape. Projections display the globe using planar, cylindrical, or conic shapes to flatten it. Scale relates distances on a map to actual distances, shown numerically as a ratio or linearly with a divided line. Numerical scale gives the fraction comparing map units to land units, while linear scale directly measures map distances.
Geography is the oldest of the sciences, studying the Earth and its features as well as human cultures. The word geography comes from the Greek words "geo" meaning Earth and "graphy" meaning writing. Today geography is divided into physical geography, which examines the natural world, and cultural geography, which studies human impacts and culture. Geographers study these areas and provide information to governments on topics like geology, urban planning, ecosystems, economics and more, making their work important.

This document contains a review game with 17 questions about major historical events and concepts from the 19th century, including the Congress of Vienna, revolutions in France and Greece, Italian unification led by the Kingdom of Sardinia, German unification promoted by Prussia, the establishment of nation-states and today's world order between 1870-1914, consequences of capitalism, industrial powers like Britain and the US, the Meiji Revolution in Japan, the largest late 19th/early 20th century empire, British imperialism, and causes and consequences of imperialism. The review covers political, economic and social history from this time period.
Between 1870-1914, the foundations of the modern world were established. Major powers like Germany, the United States, and Japan industrialized rapidly. European nations colonized regions with raw materials to fuel their industries and markets for manufactured goods. This led to the rise of large colonial empires like the British and French empires. Imperialism created economic imbalances and exploited less developed nations, imposing European culture on colonies. Racial segregation and unequal treatment of native peoples were common in colonies. The rivalry between colonial powers also contributed to the outbreak of World War I.

3. 1. INTRODUCTION
The outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 marked the start of the
Contemporary Age (remember our timeline)
Almudena Corrales Marbán
5. WHAT IS A REVOLUTION?
Dramatic changes
that often includes:
The fall of a
government
The transformation
of a social and
economic order
Almudena Corrales Marbán
6. At this point it is very important to focus on the following aspects:
• Before the French Revolution, enlightened despots failed to make the
political, economic and social changes the Enlightenment thinkers had
proposed. From 1789 onwards, these changes were violently imposed
by revolutionaries, against the wishes of the monarchs.
• The French Revolution marked the arrival of a new era, which was
symbolized by the famous slogan: “LIBERTY, EQUALITY AND
FRATERNITY´”.
• Revolutionaries often added the words “or death” to the slogan to show
that they were prepared to fight and die for their principles.

9. Driven by the example of the American
Revolution and such Enlightenment ideas as
liberty, equality, and democracy, the French ousted
the government of Louis XVI and established a
new political order.
Who do you think some historians cite the
“wind from America” as a cause of the French
Revolution?
Almudena Corrales Marbán
10. 2. THE CAUSES OF THE
FRENCH REVOLUTION
The French Revolution was a period of violent political and social
change, which saw the abolition of absolute monarchy and the end of
the estates system of Ancien Régime (closed society).
• The influence of the Enlightenment: Rousseau (Du Contrat Social),
Voltaire (Lettres Philosophiques) and Montesquieu (De l’Espirit des
Loix).
• French intellectuals and bourgeoisie supported Enlightenment ideas
and tried to put them into practice. For example, they demanded that
all French subjects be free and equal under the law.

18. By the late 18th century, all three estates of realm were discontented with
the crown, but for different reasons.
• THE CLERGY (FIRST STATE) AND THE NOBILITY (SECOND ESTATE)
Both estates wanted to protect their traditional economic privileges. They
refuse d to pay taxes that the king’s ministers were demanding.
2.4. SOCIAL CRISIS
Almudena Corrales Marbán
19. • THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE PEASANTRY
(THIRD STATE)
THE MIDDLE CLASS
The upper middle class, or bourgeoisie,
wanted to abolish the absolute monarchy
because it didn’t allow them to participate in
government.
The lower middle class or petite bourgeoisie,
was suffering from economic difficulties caused
by wars, higher taxes and increased competition
from British products (Great Britain was going
through the Industrial Revolution (1750)=
cheaper prices)
Almudena Corrales Marbán
20. THE PEASANTRY
They also suffered economic problems caused by
wars, taxes and poor harvest.
They also had to pay higher rent to the clergy and
nobility.
As a result:
• The middle class and peasantry were angered by the
luxurious lifestyle of the royal family and court.
• They rejected the privileges enjoyed by the clergy and
the nobility.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
23. STARTING POINT
• Bankrupt in France
• Privileged people refuse to pay taxes.
What did the king have to
do to face this economic crisis?
• The king decided to call together the Estates General
in 1789 in order to increase taxes.
• The last time a French king called together the Estates
General was in 1614 !!!!!
• The minister Necker duplicated the number of
representatives of the Third State in the Estates
General to stop the power of the privileged people.Almudena Corrales Marbán
24. 3.1. The National Assambly
July 1789
The National Assembly The Third Estate
delegates, mostly members of the
bourgeoisie whose views had been shaped
by the Enlightenment, were eager to make
changes in the government.
They insisted that all three estates meet
together and that each delegate have a
vote. This would give the advantage to
the Third Estate, which had as many
delegates as the other two estates
combined.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
25. • Siding with the nobles, the king ordered
the Estates-General to follow the
medieval rules.
• The delegates of the Third Estate,
however, became more and more
determined to wield power. A leading
spokesperson for their viewpoint was a
clergyman sympathetic to their cause,
Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès (syay•YEHS). In
a dramatic speech, Sieyès suggested that
the Third Estate delegates name
themselves the National Assembly and
pass laws and reforms in the name of the
French people.
• After a long night of excited debate, the delegates of the Third Estate agreed to
Sieyès’s idea by an overwhelming majority. On June 17, 1789, they voted to
establish the National Assembly, in effect proclaiming the end of absolute
monarchy and the beginning of representative government. This vote was the
first deliberate act of revolution.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
26. • Three days later, the Third Estate delegates
found themselves locked out of their meeting
room. They broke down a door to an indoor
tennis court, pledging to stay until they had
drawn up a new constitution. This pledge
became known as the Tennis Court Oath
(Juramento del Juego de la Pelota).
• Soon after, nobles and members of the
clergy who favored reform joined the Third
Estate delegates. In response to these events,
Louis stationed his mercenary army of
Swiss guards around Versailles.
• Storming the Bastille.
In Paris, rumors flew. Some people suggested
that Louis was intent on using military force to
dismiss the National Assembly. Others charged
that the foreign troops were coming to Paris to
massacre French citizens.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
28. People began to gather weapons in order
to defend the city against attack. On July
14, a mob searching for gunpowder and
arms stormed the Bastille, a Paris prison.
The mob overwhelmed the guard and
seized control of the building. The angry
attackers hacked the prison commander
and several guards to death, and then
paraded around the streets with the dead
men’s heads on pikes.
The fall of the Bastille became a great symbolic act of revolution
to the French people. Ever since, July 14—Bastille
Day—has been a French national holiday, similar to the
Fourth of July in the United States or Second of May in Madrid.

29. • In October 1789, thousands of Parisian
women rioted over the rising price of
bread. Brandishing knives, axes, and
other weapons, the women marched on
Versailles. First, they demanded that the
National Assembly take action to provide
bread. Then they turned their anger on
the king and queen. They broke into the
palace, killing some of the guards. The
women demanded that Louis and Marie
Antoinette return to Paris. After some
time, Louis agreed.
• A few hours later the king, his family, and
servants left Versailles, never again to see
the magnificent palace. Their exit
signaled the change of power and
radical reforms about to overtake
France.

Bread
Bread was a staple of the
diet of the common people
of France. Most families
consumed three or four 4-
pound loaves a day. And the
purchase of bread took
about half of a worker’s
wages—when times were
good. So, when the price of
bread jumped dramatically,
as it did in the fall of 1789,
people faced a real threat of
starvation.

30. 3.2. The Constituent
Assembly (1789-1791)
Throughout the night of August 4, 1789,
noblemen made grand speeches,
declaring their love of liberty and
equality. Motivated more by fear than by
idealism, they joined other members of the
National Assembly in sweeping away the
feudal privileges of the First and Second
Estates, thus making commoners equal to
the nobles and the clergy. By morning, the
Old Regime was dead.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
31. • The Rights of Man Three weeks later, the
National Assembly adopted a statement of
revolutionary ideals, the Declaration of the
Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
• Reflecting the influence of the Declaration of
Independence, the document stated that
“men are born and remain free and equal
in rights.” These rights included “liberty,
property, security, and resistance to
oppression.” The document also guaranteed
citizens equal justice, freedom of speech,
and freedom of religion.
• In keeping with these principles,
revolutionary leaders adopted the
expression “Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity” as
their slogan.

32. Louis Tries to Escape
• As the National Assembly restructured
the relationship between church and
state, Louis XVI pondered his fate as a
monarch. Some of his advisers warned
him that he and his family were in danger.
Many supporters of the monarchy
thought France unsafe and left the
country.
• Then, in June 1791, the royal family
tried to escape from France to the
Austrian Netherlands. As they neared
the border, however, they were
apprehended and returned to Paris under
guard. Louis’s attempted escape
increased the influence of his radical
enemies in the government and sealed
his fate.
One of the people
who stopped Louis
from escaping said
that he recognized
the king from his
portrait on a French
bank note.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
33. • For two years, the National
Assembly argued over a new
constitution for France. By
1791, the delegates had made
significant changes in France’s
government and society.
• A Limited Monarchy In
September 1791, the National
Assembly completed the new
constitution, which Louis
reluctantly approved.

workers and craftsmen.
In contrast, some Parisian workers and
small shopkeepers wanted the Revolution
to bring even greater changes to France.
They were called sans-culottes (SANZ
kyoo•LAHTS), or “those without knee
breeches.” Unlike the upper classes,
who wore fancy knee-length pants, sans-
culottes wore regular trousers. Although
they did not have a role in the assembly,
they soon discovered ways to exert their
power on the streets of Paris.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
38. Despite the new government, old
problems, such as food shortages and
government debt, remained. The
question of how to handle these
problems caused the Legislative
Assembly to split into three general
groups, each of which sat in a different
part of the meeting hall.
Radicals, who sat on the left side of
the hall, opposed the idea of a
monarchy and wanted sweeping
changes in the way the government
was run. Moderates sat in the center
of the hall and wanted some changes
in government, but not as
many as the radicals. Conservatives
sat on the right side of
the hall. They upheld the idea of a
limited monarchy and
wanted few changes in government

39. 3.4. The Convention
(1792-1793)
The beginning of the Republic starts the
radical and popular phase of the
Revolution.
There were elections for a new
Assembly called:

Louis XVI was accused of
treason and then executed.

40. A number of European
countries formed a coalition
and declared war on France to
prevent the revolution from
spreading.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
41. • Most of the people involved in the governmental changes
in September 1792 were members of a radical political
organization, the Jacobin (JAK•uh•bihn) Club. One of the
most prominent Jacobins, as club members were called,
was Jean-Paul Marat (mah•RAH).
• The «sans-culottes» gave a «coup-d´Etat»
against the Girondins in June 1793.
• The leader of the Jacobins was
Robespierre.
• The Jacobins took control of the
government and imposed a dictatorship,
known as the Terror.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
42. The jacobins persecuted people they
believed to be counter-revolutionaries.
More than 42.000 people were executed by
guillotine during the Terror.
The Terror claimed not only the
famous, such as Danton
and Marie Antoinette, the
widowed queen. Thousands of
unknown people also were sent
to their deaths, often on the
flimsiest of charges. For example,
an 18-year-old youth was
sentenced to die for cutting
down a tree that had been
planted as a symbol of liberty.
Perhaps as many as 40,000
were executed during the Terror.
About 85 percent were
peasants or members of the
urban poor or middle class—
for whose benefit the Revolution
had been launched
The Committee of Public
Safety’s (Comité de Salud Pública) chief
task was to protect the Revolution from its
enemies. Under Robespierre’s leadership,
the committee often had these “enemies”
tried in the morning and guillotined in
the afternoon. Robespierre justified his use
of terror by suggesting that it enabled
French citizens to remain true to the ideals
of the Revolution. He also saw a connection
between virtue and terror:

from power, he was also executed
by guillotine in the Place de la
Révolution.

44. 3.5. The Directory
(1795-1799)
By 1795, France´s moderate middle class had gained control of the country.
To avoid a new dictatorship, a moderated government was created.
The executive power was controlled by a Directory
• A more conservative government which was composed of five
members.
• Created to stop the violence and executions.

45. 3.6. The Consulate (1799)
The Directory was weak.
• Supporters of the monarchy wanted
to restore the Borbons.
• Radical revolutionaries wanted to
regain control.
In response, General Napoleon Bonaparte
organised a military coup and established a
new form of government called the
Consulate.

47. 4. From the Revolution to the
Empire
Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769 on the Mediterranean
island of Corsica. When he was nine years old, his parents sent
him to a military school. In 1785, at the age of 16, he finished
school and became a lieutenant in the artillery. When the
Revolution broke out, Napoleon joined the army of the new
government.
Hero of the Hour In October 1795, fate handed the young officer a
chance for glory. When royalist rebels marched on the
National Convention, a government official told Napoleon to
defend the delegates. Napoleon and his gunners greeted the
thousands of royalists with a cannonade. Within minutes, the
attackers fled
in panic and confusion. Napoleon Bonaparte became the hero
of the hour and was hailed throughout Paris as the savior of
the French republic.

increased its power:
He was named First
Consul for Life in
1802. (cónsul vitalicio)
In 1804 Napoleon
declared himself
Emperor of
France.
The Constitution of
1804 says that the
government of the
Republic is given to
an emperor.

50. In 1796, the Directory appointed
Napoleon to lead a French army against
the forces of Austria and the Kingdom
of Sardinia. Crossing the Alps, the young
general swept into Italy and won a series
of remarkable victories.
In an attempt to protect French
trade interests and to disrupt
British trade with India, Napoleon
led an expedition to Egypt. But he
was unable to repeat the successes
he had achieved in Europe.

53. THE DECLINE OF THE NAPOLEONIC EMPIRE
• From 1812 onwards, his
power began to decline
because he had to divide his
forces between two very
distant fronts:
• Spain (West)
• The Russian Empire
(East)
• Napoleon abdicated in
1814 and went into exile on
the island of Elba.
