E N D
Agricultural Revolution • A time of revised farming practices that allowed people to grow more food • More food=increasing population • Better farming techniques • Seed drill • Crop rotation • Enclosure • Warmer climate
Factors of Production • Land (ground and resources) • Labor (workforce and their skills) • Capital (machinery, anything that makes work easier) • Before, controlled by the state • Industrialization, controlled by individuals
Factory vs. domestic system • Domestic system- no division of labor, everything produced in the home • Factory system- division of labor, production occurs in factories
Life in the factories • 12-16 hour days • Low wages • Unsanitary working conditions
Middle Class • managers of industry • also bankers, manufacturers, merchants, lawyers, doctors, engineers, professors • gained social influence and power (as income grew) • government cared about them
Economic Theories • Mercantilism- we already talked about this • Capitalism- factors of production controlled by individuals • Adam Smith- laissez-faire, supply and demand, competition • David Ricardo- iron law of wages, comparative advantage • Thomas Malthus- population growth model • Socialism- factors of production controlled by the government for the benefit of all • Owen, Fourier, Blanc, Saint-Simon • Communism- factors of production controlled by everyone for the benefit of everyone • Marx and Engels
Why reforms? • Poor working conditions • Overcrowding in cities • Unemployment • Lack of sanitation
Types of Reforms • Emancipation • Temperance Movement (banning alcohol) • Suffrage (the right to vote) • Better working conditions and sanitation • Native Rights • Labor unions
Scientific Advances • Edison’s light bulb • Bell’s telephone • Marconi’s radio • Automobiles • Wright brother’s airplane • cell theory • genetics • evolution • Jenner’s small pox vaccine • pasteurization • Fleming’s penicillin • structure of the atom • radioactivity (Curie) • quantum theory (Planck and Einstein)
Social Science • History • Anthropology • Sociology • Psychology • Economics

Austria-Hungary • lots of different ethnicities • uprisings against Francis Joseph I • Dual-monarchy created • Balkan Wars
What is nationalism? • a sense of national consciousness (identification with a nation)
