Question of Periodization
• Periodization: AP World History is broken into six
chronological periods of study.
• Period 5 (Ch 23-29): Industrialization and Global
Integration, c. 1750-1900 (20% of AP Exam)
• Key Concept 5.1 Industrialization and Global Capitalism
• Key Concept 5.2 Imperialism and Nation-State Formation
• Key Concept 5.3 Nationalism, Revolution, and Reform
• Key Concept 5.4 Global Migration
Key Concept 5.3
Nationalism, Revolution, and Reform
• The eighteenth century marked the beginning of an intense
period of revolution and rebellion against existing
governments, and the establishment of new nation-states
around the world. Enlightenment thought and the resistance of
colonized peoples to imperial centers shaped this revolutionary
activity. These rebellions sometimes resulted in the formation
of new states and stimulated the development of new
ideologies. These new ideas in turn further stimulated the
revolutionary and anti-imperial tendencies of this period.
AP Key Concepts. You should be able to…• Explain how The rise and diffusion of Enlightenment thought that questioned established traditions in all
areas of life often preceded the revolutions and rebellions against existing governments (AP Key Concept
5.3.I).
• Describe the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers influenced resistance to existing political authority, as
reflected in revolutionary documents (AP Key Concept 5.3.IC).
• Describe how American colonial subjects led a series of rebellions, which facilitated the emergence of
independent states in the United States, Haiti, and mainland Latin America. French subjects rebelled
against their monarchy (AP Key Concept 5.3.IC).
• Explain the demands for women’s suffrage and an emergent feminism challenged political and gender
hierarchies (AP Key Concept 5.3.IVB).

but were never successful at
overthrowing the government.

from Ottoman Empire in 1830.

constitutional monarchy the
same year. (Les Miserables)
What future problem might
arise because of
nationalistic feeling in
Europe?
The Rise Nationalism
1st cause of…
WORLD WAR I (1914-1918)
Revolutions of 1848
• Causes: Desire for national
self-determination &
democratic reform
• Failed Revolutions occurred
in Italy, Germany, Austria,
and Hungary.
• Only in France was the
monarchy was overthrown
and replaced by an elected
president, Louis Napoleon
Latin American Road to Independence• The American and French
Revolutions taught that people had rights and a voice in government.
• During the Napoleonic Wars Latin America governed itself.
• The King of Spain tried to restore his rule after the wars but Latin America refused.
• 1794-1804: HAITIAN REVOLUTION - Slave rebellion against the French under the leadership of Toussaint L’Ouverture. (First independent nation in Latin America) (More to come during the 1820s! See Ch. 25)
Comparative Perspectives• The American Revolution
1. The expense of colonial wars led to the imposition of new taxes on colonials.
2. Resentment over taxation led the British American colonies to fight & win their
independence.
3. New American government reflected the democratic ideals of the Enlightenment.
• The French Revolution
1. France created a more radical form of representative democracy than the one found
in America and suffered more violence as well.
2. Events in France led to the Haitian Revolution and Haiti’s independence.
3. Entrenched elite forces within, and foreign intervention from without, made the
French and Haitian Revolutions more violent and destructive than the American
Revolution. In France, chaos led to the rise of Napoleon.
• Aftermath of Revolution
1. Conservative retrenchment after Napoleon prevailed in the short term in Europe, but
nationalism and liberalism could not be held in check for long.
2. The new social classes arising with industrial capitalism ultimately demanded a new
social and political order. The new political freedoms were limited to a minority.
Women could not participate until the twentieth century, and slavery endured until
the second half of the nineteenth century in America.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. What roles did Enlightenment thought and folk cultures play in the making of
the eighteenth-century revolutions?
2. Was there a relationship between the ways in which the British and French
monarchs approached the ideas of the Enlightenment and the outbreak of
revolution?
3. What factors might explain the different outcomes of the American, the French,
and the Haitian revolutions?
4. How and why did the policies of the French revolutionary regimes change
between 1789 and 1799?
5. What were the goals of the Conference of Vienna? To what extent were those
goals achieved?
6. In the nineteenth century, democratic reform succeeded in the United States
and Britain, a nationalist revolution freed Greece from the Ottoman Empire,
and a revolution of the middle and working classes overthrew the French
monarchy in 1848. Why were these movements toward democracy and national
self-determination successful, while reformers and revolutionaries in Hungary,
Italy, Bohemia, Austria, and Germany failed?
