AP WORLD UNIT 5 VOCAB Flashcards
Abolition Movement 5.1
A movement Western Europe and the Americas, to put an end to slavery, from 1788-1888. This consisted in conflicts and plenty of revolts that had to happen in order for this to happen. People who were able to escape slavery, were able to testify for the cruelness of it, which was able to lead to these movements. (LO.2: We find how enlightenment ideals, were able to lead to these movements and revolts, in the way that with these ideas, people were getting closer to being able to pursue equality.)
Empiricism 5.1
This is a belief that knowledge comes from experience. This was able to tie into scientific thinking in difference to a religious way of thinking. Scientific experiments were a huge part of how this way of thinking was able to be “proved”. (LO.1: During this time, ways of thinking like this one, was one of the ways that people’s ideas and beliefs began to change slowly and made it for them to be convinced that religious beliefs were not always facts and real knowledge that was needed to develop.)
Enlightenment 5.1
A period of time where new ideas were able to arise, most of revolutionaries, which was able to spark a chain reaction into society at the time to begin change. This included ideas of change in politics and government, which affected the influence of the abolition. (LO.1: We find that new ideas from people like Locke or Rousseau, who thought that men were naturally good (Locke), and that governments should follow the general will of the people (Rousseau).
Suffrage movement (include Wollstonecraft and Seneca Falls) 5.1
A 72 year long movement in the US, that’s objective was to get women to have the right to vote. Wollstonecraft, was able to write a book about the political rights of women in England 1792, and was able to influence more women to want to have these political rights. In 1848, the Seneca Falls convention was a convention resulting in the beginning of an organization of feminists trying to fight for Women’s rights. It was not until 1920 that Women were granted the full right to vote in the US. (LO.1: We find that a lot of the ways that this movement was able to be brought up was by the books and ideas of people like Wollstonecraft, who had futuristic mindsets different to those of their time and can affect change in other people’s minds.)
American Revolution (include leaders, events, and documents) 5.2
This is a revolution that was mostly the want to be an Independent nation seperate from Britan, because of the unjust ways that citizens were treated and taxed. We find that this began in small events like that of the Boston Tea Party, that were mainly to protest the taxation that they had to pay to the British, and ended up in a full war in an attempt to get independence as a nation. This ended in the new nation of America, with a new government, that was enforced with things like the Bill of Rights, the constitution, etc, under the influence of the founding fathers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, etc. (LO.3: We find how this specific revolution was able to give independence to a nation, and change how they were able to run their government in the way that we find how it becomes a democracy where people are able to choose.) their ruler (influenced by enlightenment).
Bolivar Revolutions ((include leaders, events, and documents)) 5.2
Is similar to these other revolutions because of the way that it is able to be about creoles being suppressed by the Spanish and wanting to have their independence and own government. We find how it’s also similar in the way that they have a leader that is able to help bring order to this revolution (like bonaparte in France). One of the differences from this revolution is the effects that lead to conservative governments in Latin America, which ended up affecting how the states in Latin America were able to develop and are still present today. (LO.3: The effects of this revolution was that it was able to free a lot of states in Latin America from the Spanish influence that they had, and were able to become independent nations. It led them to conservative government, which still affects Latin America today.)
Classical Liberalism (include John Stuart Mill) 5.2
This is a belief system that believes in natural rights, progress and constitutional monarchy. The political ideology also is able to advocate economic and political freedom as well as civil liberties. (LO.3: We find that the effects of having revolutions and ideologies like that of Classical Liberalism is able to change the belief systems of a lot of people at the time. John Stuart Mil, was one of the most influential thinkers, that was able to expand ideas of classical liberalism. He believed in the ideals of utilitarianism, a theory that advocates actions that bring happiness or pleasure and don’t advocate actions that cause unhappiness or harm.)
French Revolution (include leaders, events, and documents) 5.2
Was mainly a peasant led revolution to overthrow the government/monarchy and was able to lead to a more equal government system where there is no feudalism. It was able to be a revolt that was able to cause a chain reaction to other revolutions, as well as have the most influence from the renaissance, reformation and enlightenment which was most present in France. (LO.3: This revolution was able to affect a lot of Europe, since France was one of the most powerful states at the time. People being able to revolt against absolute monarchs set off a chain reaction in more governments changing and following the ideals and revolts of the French.)
Haitian Revolution (include leaders, events, and documents) 5.2
This revolution was about slaves in France that craved for freedom, so they could have equality for all men as well as human rights for all. Having a slave led revolution makes for a lot of differences with the effects of this reform. We can find how it is a lot harder for this revolution to be able to work because of the way that they have a lot more restrictions (no freedom). (LO.3: This revolution was able to effect a lot of the way that other revolts began their uprise because of a slave led revolt that inspired more revolts during this time.)
Nationalism (include German, Italian, and Argentinian)
We find how this is an ideal that includes the want to have unification of ones own nation, the want for independence, the superiority mindset of ones own nation, that can lead to conflicts in the way that people will compete to prove it. In Germany this idea was pursued with a confederacy that was able to attempt a unified nation. In Italy, this ideal was able to be pursued with the hate for Hasburg rule as well as their language bringing the nation together. (LO.3: We find how these ideals were able to cause a lot of various revolutions and give the motivation for independence.)
Causes of Industrialization 5.3
Things like the columbian exchange, the rise of maritime empires, and the agricultural revolution, are all things that cause the changes that happened during this time period. We find that these were all things that were able to connect states and bring forwards the opportunity for innovations and new ideas that created the revolution. (LO.4: We find that one of the ways that the revolution was able to be facilitated is because of the natural network of rivers and bodies of water in places like Britain and the US that was able to be used for transportation of materials, even more effective when steamships were introduced.)
Factory system 5.3
Richard Arkwright was able to introduce the water frame in 1760s, which was able to be more effective and faster than humans at spinning wheels (textile). This is how textile production was brought to factories and thus the system was created. (LO.4: Water proved to be an essential part of the industrial revolution, because it was the source of power for many of the technologies that were able to create systems like this. Because of this we find that having access to water and bodies of water became very important during this time.)
Industrialization 5.4
After Britain had the industrial revolution many other countries began to modernize and become more Urban as well as adopt the factory systems, or sometimes only things like railroads, etc. We find that the spread of the revolution was able to help a lot of states’ economies and societies. (LO.5: We find that over time a lot of things were able to change in the way that states were able to modernize and change economically. An example of this is the US, that industrialized during the 19th century, after Britain, France and Germany, yet was leading in production by the 1900s.)
Fossil Fuels Revolution 5.5
We find that during the industrial revolution the most important technologies came from the use of fossil fuels as a source of energy. Factories, boats, cars, and most things that were able to contribute to the industrial revolution were all fueled by these fossil fuels. (LO.6: Things like coal, coke, and other forms of fossil fuels are able to help production of things like Iron, and are also able to fuel ways of transportation. Fossil fuels changed almost everything that went on in society, and were also able to change the way countries were able to interact with each other. They are not only the fuel of transportation but of the industrial revolution.)
Industrial Communication (include Railroad, Steamship, and Telegraph) 5.5
We find that during this time the creation of things like railroads, steamships and telegraphs, were able to shape a lot of the transportation that went on during the industrial revolution. This was able to affect things like trade, and interactions between states. (LO.6: transportation was another essential part of the industrial revolution and the modernization of everything that went on during this time.)
