  3. Key Terms • Nationalism • Revolution • Industrialism • Urbanization • Imperialism • Militarism

  4. NATIONALISM • Belief that people should be loyal to their nation, not a king. • Belief that your country is better than any other country. • Having great pride in your nation. • Doing what’s best for your country.

  5. Question • How could nationalismlead to a revolution? • How could a revolutionlead to nationalism?

  6. EXAMPLES • Revolting against an outside, oppressive country (US revolution against England). • Wanting to rule the rest of the world because your country is better than everyone else.

  7. EXAMPLE “People would prefer their own bad government rather than submit to the good government of a foreign country.” • What does this mean?

  8. Revolution • An overthrow and replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed. • A sudden, complete or marked change in something.

  9. EXAMPLE • During this time period, many countries went through revolutions. They either overthrew an outside, oppressive government (like the U.S.) or overthrew the government from within (France).

  10. Industrialism • When a country develops industries for the machine-production of goods. • Going from an agriculture based economy (farming) to a manufacturing based economy (factories).

  11. EXAMPLE • Going from working on a farm growing food to working for Ford building cars.

  12. Urbanization • The growth of cities, and the influx of people moving to them.

  13. Urbanization • As countries industrialized, cities sprang up around the major factories. Many people moved close to the factories (close to work). Populations became more dense (more people living closer together, rather than spread out).

  14. EXAMPLE • People moving from the farm to Detroit (because they got a job working for Ford building cars)

  15. Question • How is Urbanization a consequence of Industrialization?

  16. EXAMPLE

  17. No! • Negative consequences of urbanization • Breakdown of traditions • Increased levels of pollution • Expansion of slums

  18. Imperialism • A policy in which a strong nation seeks to dominate other countries politically, economically, and/or socially.

  19. Imperialism • Imperialism is when one country takes over another country (as a colony). The stronger country will take all of the weaker country’s resources. After the Industrial Revolution, European countries needed more natural resources. They got them from places like Africa and Asia.

  20. EXAMPLES • England taking control of India • France taking control of much of Western Africa

  21. Question • What are some natural resources that would make one country want to take over another country?

  22. Militarism • A policy of glorifying military power and keeping a standing army always ready for war. • Building up the military.

  23. EXAMPLE Germany building up an army in order to invade other countries

  24. Question • How could Militarism lead to a war?
