Chapter 22pg (1087-1119)
In the 1900, European colonial empires in Africa and Asia appeared as permanent features of the world's political landscape. the period from the mid 1950s through the mid 1970s was the age of African independence as colony after colony, more than fifty in total emerged into what seen as the bright light of freedom. At the international level, the world wars had weakened Europe, while discrediting any sense of European moral superiority.
Comparing Freedom Struggles
Two of the most extended freedom struggles in India and in South Africa illustrate both the variations and the complexity of the process, which was so central to 20th century world history. India was among the first colonies to achieve independence and provided both a model and an inspiration to others,whereas South Africa, though not formally a colony was among the last to throw off political domination by whites.
The Case of India:Ending British Rule
British never assimilated into Indian society because their acute sense of racial and cultural distinctiveness kept them apart. British railroads, telegraph lines, postal services, administrative networks, newspaper, and schools as well. The English language bounded India's many regions and peoples together more firmly and facilitated communications.

Revolution, Socialism, and Global Conflict
Modern communism found its political and philosophical roots in 19th century European socialism, inspired by the teachings of Karl Marx. By then1970s, almost one-third of the world's population lived in societies governed by communist regimes. Not just Russia was under communist rule. In Vietnam, a much more locally communist movement, under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh had a social vision on how the country should be ruled. During the Cold War ( Russia Soviet Union), the Warsaw Pact brought the soviet Union and Eastern Europe communist states together in a military alliance was designed to fight against the NATO alliance ( western capitalist countries).
China: A Prolonged Revolutionary Struggle
For 28 years, that small party, with an initial membership of only six people, grew, transformed its tragedy and found a leader that lead wars and won battles. Many Chinese peasants were treated unfairly. The Chinese tried to rise up against their land lords. However years of guerrilla warfare, experiments with land reform in areas under communist control, and the creation of a communist military force to protect liberated areas slowly gained for the CCP a growing measure of respect and support among China's peasants.
The Soviet Union: The Collapse of Communism and Country
Gorbachev was the leader of Russia during the collapse. China's booming economy, the Soviet Union spun into a sharp decline as its planned economy was dismantled before a functioning market-based system. Unlike Chinese peasants, few soviet farmers were willing to risk the jump into private farming, and new foreign investors found the Soviet Union a tempting place to do business. A brief and unsuccessful attempt to restore the old order through a military coup in August 1999 but triggered end of the Soviet Union.

Chapter 20 (pg973-1017)
The "Great War" was known as the First World War. Europe had assumed an increasingly prominent position on the global stage, driven by its growing military capacity and the marvels of its scientific and industrial revolution. Few could have imagined that is "proud power" of European dominance would lie shattered less than a half century later. The starting point in that unraveling was the First World War. Since the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, a fragile and fluctuating balance of power had generally maintained the peace among Europe's major countries. The war broke out due to archduke's assasination prolonged the conflict.
Legacies of the Great War
In the late summer of 1914 was war was suppose to end by Christmas but it lasted for four years. Extended battles lasting months such as those at Verdum and the Somme in France generated causalities of a million or more each, as the Destructive potential of Industrialized warfare made itself tragically felt. The German state, for example, assumed such control over the economy that its policies became known as "war socialism". Vast propaganda campaigns sought to arouse citizens by depicting a cruel and inhuman enemy who killed innocent children. Labor unions agreed to suspend strikes and accept sacrifices for the common good, while women, replacing the men who had left the factories for the battlefront.
If World War 1 represented the political collapse of Europe, this catastrophic downturn suggested that Western capitalism was likewise failing. During the 19th century, the economic system had spurred the most substantial economic growth in world history. Much of Europe's worldwide empires had globalized the Great War, its economic linkages globalized the Great Depression. Countries or colonies tied to exporting one or two products were especially hard hit. The Great depression also sharply challenged the governments of industrialized capitalist countries, which generally had believed that the economy would regulate itself through the market.
The modern history of Japan parallel that Italy and Germany. All three were newcomers to great power status, with Japan joining the club of industrilized and empir-building states only in the late 19th century.

China was among the countries that confronted an aggressive and industrialized West while maintaining its formal independence. Many rival countries in Europe were out to get China. China had an immense military and political ambitions, they became enmeshed in networks of trade, investment, and sometimes migration that arose from an industrializing and capitalist economy. Chinese authorities had strictly controlled and limited the activities of European missionaries and merchants. But by 1912 China's long establishing imperial state had collapse and the country had been transformed from a central presence in the economy to a weak and dependent participant in a European dominated world system, which was great Britain. The uprising of the Taiping revolution movement demonstrated ambivalence about equality for women. After a few civil wars China was no longer the center of civilization to which barbarians paid tribute, it was just a weak and dependent nation . The Qing dynasty remained in power but in a weakened condition. Chinese business men mostly served foreign firms, rather than developing as an independent capitalist class capable of leading China's own industrial revolution.
Economically, the Ottoman and Arab lands in Afroeurasia commerce diminished as Europeans achieved direct oceanic access to the treasures of Asia. In 1876 Ottomans experienced a short lived victory when the they accepted a consitiution and an elected parliament, but not for long. I don't understand the Menji restoration, what did it mean? (*read more on it) Japan was brought into the picture of modernization and how it began civilization and enlightenment. Most of Japan's workers during the industrial relovution lived in factory-provided dormitories, many committed suicide because many worked long hours and were paid unfair wages.

Colonial Encounters in Asia and Africa
Millions of Africans and Asians were ruled by the British, French, Germans, Italians, Belgians, or Americans. The enormous productivity of industrial technology and Europe's growing affluence created need for extensive raw materials and agriculture production. Industrial capitalism produced more goods and people could barely afford it. For example the the 1840 Britain was exporting 60percent cotton -cloth production, annually sending 200 million yards to Europe, 300 million yards to Latin America and 145 to india. After 1875 most of the production came from British, French, or even Germany hands. By the 16 and 17th century the Europeans had taken much of the Americas and other continents. Europeans had to fight, often long and hard, to create their new empires.
the Hindus were controlled by a powerful group call the Mughal empire. The fragmentation of the Mughal empire and the absence of any overall sense of cultural or political unity both invited and facilitated European penetration. In Asia the country of Japan was also colonizing small islands of the Atlantic ocean. Many Europeans were racist and had strict rules for foreigners.
The centerpiece of Europe's global expansion during the 19th century occurred in the so-called content of Africa. Europeans countries divided up almost the entire content of Africa into colonial territories. As the Atlantic Slave Trade diminished over the course of the 19th century as well, Europeans began to look at Africa in new ways as a source of raw materials and as an opportunity for investment, as a market for industrial production. Scholars have argued that the scramble for Africa was driven less by concrete economic interests that by emotional, even romantic notions of personal adventure. While the scramble for Arica was happening the Europeans discovered Ethiopia, which helped boost Christian culture, literate elite, and rich agricultural resources. While the scramble Ethiopia also had an absolute monarchy government which led the Europeans to fight a gruesome battle. The Ethiopians fought the Italians and they won after that they got their Independence from the Europeans.

The experience of an English Factory worker was very hard. Workers were wage earners, dependent on a modest and uncertain income. A women working in the factory named Elizabeth Bently testified to get workers less hours and she accomplished her task. The hours of an employment were limited for women and children. Weaving was also common during the industrial revolution. Many individual weavers had to sell their looms to the larger manufactures who were organizing more efficient productions in factories. Many weavers were given unfair hours in the factories. A man named Samuel Smiles wrote a book on the industrial revolution and factories called Thrift. Samuel reflected a middle-class response to the Industrial Revolution. A new factory working class was formed and his name was Karl Marx. Marx was born to a wealthy middle class family in Germany and became a radical intellectual and journalist. Marx pursued both a political life devoted to organizing workers for revolution and for world history. He also studied the evolution of capitalism. Marx provided the dead that informed much of European socialism in the 19th century.

Global energy demands began to push against the existing local and regional ecological limits. The Industrial Revolution marks a human response to that dilemma as nonrenewable fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas replaced the earlier reliance on the endlessly renewable energy sources of wind, water, wood, and the muscle power of peopled animals. Europe and Britain were ahead of the world, coal fired steam engine was made, which provided an inanimate and almost limitless source of power. It can be used to drive a number of machines and ships. In the 20th century the Industrial Revolution became global as a number of Asian, African, and Latin American countries developed substance; industrial sectors. By the 18th century, major Western Europe societies were highly commercialized and governed by states generally supportive of private commerce. On their way to capitalist economies( buying and selling ). Great Britain was doing the best in the Industrial Revolution, many railroads were built. The middle class benefited more from the Industrial revolution as well. The laboring class was overwhelming. The cities were vastly overcrowded and smokey, with poor sanitation. In the 18th century the life expectancy for England was only 40 years old. American Industrialization began in the textile factories of New England during the 1820sbut grew after the civil war. U.S was able to use funds to have an independent Industrial Revolution. The US government played an important role, though less directly than in Germany or Japan. Tax breaks, huge grants of public land to the railroad companies, laws enabling of industry.

Enlightenment thinkers in the 18th century said slavery was a violation of natural human rights. The main area that wanted to abolish slavery was Britain, it gained wide support from middle and working class people. The end of Atlantic slavery during the 19th century surely marked a major moral thinking towards humankind. The ending of slavery in the United states was due to a long lasting civil war from (1861-1865). By the end of the 20th century, the idea that humankind was divided into separate nations, each with a distinct culture and territory, also deserving an independent political life. Many communities put since and religion aside and concentraded on the more printing and publishing with different dialects. Many people began to read and gained a lot of knowledge, the readings encouraged many political and cultural leaders to form. A third echo of the Atlantic revolution was a feminist movement. Many girls and women began to question their patriarchy. They were wondering why guys can do everything and women couldn't.

Founders Week

In History we learned about the founders of the Sisters of Notre Dame. We read an article on Julie and Franciose. The article talked about where they were born, their childhood, and them as young adults. It was interesting to see how different these two women were from each other. The article also talks about their journey as young adults to how they became friends, which was really interesting. Before reading this article I didn't even know what founders week was. For founders week Ms.Andrews assigned us to do at least one activity that was planned throughout campus. The class had to attend gardening or talking with one of the sisters about founders week. I chose gardening around the campus. Ms.Andrews brought sunflower seeds from her garden and my friend Jazmine and I went around campus with spoons. We used the spoons to dig holes to plant out seeds. It was really relaxing and I enjoyed it. I can't wait till they grow and see them almost everywhere on campus and think to myself hey I planted those sunflowers that are now radiating around campus.

I find interesting how Francoise and Julie had respect for all individuals regardless of age, gender, disability or social class. Also gave a chance to people who were unable to receive education get one. In the reading it talks about how Julie had chronic sclerosis when she met Francoise and with Julie's condition the face that they were able to achieve so much is amazing. They were both alive during the French Revolution, where many people were uprising. When Francoise was a teenager she would visit homes in other countries with her grandmother. Her and her grandmother checked up the the well being of the workers. Franciose fought for the right of women to be leaders and to choose whether they wanted to have sex or not. She argued if women never had sex they can still take leadership roles. Because at the time Francoise lived in a time where men can only do and take on leadership roles. Julie was different from Francoise , Julie grew up in a farm. Trying to make ends meet with her family and was way over stressed. Julie and Francoise meet after Francoise was released from prison. They met in Amiens 1794. Together the shared a friendship that no one really quiets understand but they were formed a new order of nuns and they formed the sisters of Notre dame.

The Haitian revolution was part of and linked to a much larger set of upheavals that shook both sides of the Atlantic world between 1775 and 1825. The Atlantic revolutions were distinctive in various ways, They cost a fortune and they were global not region. The Atlantic basin had become a world of intellectual and cultural exchanges as well as one of commercials and biological interaction. New ideas of liberty, equality, free trade, religious tolerance, republicanism, and human rationality were in the air. John Locke (1632-1704) had argued, that "social contract" between ruler and ruled should last only as long as it served the people well. The American Revolution did not grow out of social tensions within the colonies. Popular sovereignty, natural rights, the consent of the governed.

I read the document multiple times and to be honest I still don't really understand what it is trying to say or the general idea of it. I think the document is trying to say that without common knowledge of the world it will be in complete destruction. In one part of the document it states, " destroyed prejudices, and reestablished human intelligence, which until then had been forced to bend down to false instructions instilled in it by absurd beliefs passed on to the children of each generation by the terrors of superstition and the fear of tyranny." This statement is saying that since the countries around the world have been ruled by kings and only kings, the people have no other choice but to believe what comes out of their mouths. It is also saying if they were more intelligent to begin with maybe it wouldn't of take so much time to teach them the knowledge that they still need to learn. But whether you didn't know the information before you shouldn't get judged for it. I don't understand, "they will understand that they cannot become conquerors without losing their liberty; that perpetual alliances are the only way to preserve independence ; and that they should seek their security , not power...." I am confused because in one paragraph it say that people don't know a lot of knowledge but then in another paragraph it says without conqueroring we will never understand power.....

Scholars could pursue their studies in relative freedom from the dictates of church or state. To religious scholars , the Quran held all wisdom, and scientific thinking might well challenge it. Early scientist rejected Christianity, the church resisted new ideas. The Scotish professor Adam Smith (1723-1790), formulated laws that accounted for the operation of the economy if followed. What is enlightenment? Enlightenment questioned a women's role in society. The Journal de Dames founded in Paris in 1759 defended women. Charles Darwin(1809-1882) laid out a complex argument that all life was in constant change. The Qing dynasty was interested in Christianity and other relations to Christianity.

He learned to read and write, traveled extensively as a seaman aboard one of his masters' ship, and was allowed to buy his freedom in 1766. Elsewhere in Africa, the slave trade did not have such politically destabilizing effects as it did in Kongo. China and Japan helped make tea an entry in Europe in the 16th century abroad Portuguese. The Spanish and Portuguese America gave rise to a wide variety of recognized mixed-race groups known as castes, a hierarchical social order.
