Part 5 and Chapter 16

Part 5 talks about the years 1750 and 1914 and the societies that emerged from the intersection of the Scientific, French, and Industrial Revolutions. The second half of this talks about the great power and influence these powers had on everywhere else.

Ch. 16
The Atlantic revolutions of North America, France, Haiti, and Latin America were very costly wars that strained the European imperial states. The ideas that the Atlantic revolutions took from the Enlightenment were shared also between the French and American Revolutionaries. These new ideas of equality, free trade, liberty, and religious tolerance were widely popular. This all had a global impact 

  • One of these revolutions was the Haitian revolution which took place between 1775 and 1825 and shook both sides of the Atlantic. 
  • Thomas Jefferson was the U.S. ambassador to France in the French revolution. 
  • The french revolution, rose the question of female political equality far more than the American revolution.
