...APUSH Study Guide 8 A weak Confederacy and the Constitution, 1776-1790 Themes/Constructs: The federal Constitution represented a moderately conservative reaction against the democratilizing effects of the Revolution and the Articles of Confederation. The American Revolution was not a radical transformation like the French or Russian revolutions, but it produced political innovations and some social change in the direction of greater equality and democracy. The American Revolution did not overturn the social order, but it did produce substantial changes in social customs, political institutions, and ideas about society and government. Among the changes were the separation of church and state in some places, the abolition of slavery in the North, written political constitutions, and a shift in political power from the eastern seaboard toward the frontier. The first weak government, the Articles of Confederation, was unable to exercise real authority, although it did successfully deal with the western lands issue. The Confederation’s weakness in handling foreign policy, commerce and the Shays Rebellion spurred the movement to alter the Articles. Instead of revising the Articles, the well-off delegates to the Constitutional Convention created a charter for a whole new government. In a series of compromises, the convention produced a plan that provided for a vigorous central government, a strong executive, the protection for property, while still upholding republican...

From July 28, 1914, to November 11, 1918, over 17 million people died and 20 million more were wounded. The two main alliances that fought each other were called the allied powers and the central powers. The allied powers consisted of France, Great Britain, Russia, and America. While the central power consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Ottoman Empire. Both the allied powers and central powers devoured each other. But, for what cost and why did this happen?

First, as Europe advanced their technology and economy because of Industrial revolution; they also increased their military power and the spendings.

...Michael Sylvia World Civ DBQ Mrs. Garno 1/30/13 Europe was a colonizing machine throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. After Europe’s leap to industrialization and growth in population, the abundance of food was drastically decreasing. This inspired Europe to begin an imperialistic sparked Europe’s approach. Nonetheless, Europe’s growing empire was striking fear on to surrounded non western countries. Europe’s motivation for colonizing all over the world was sparked by three main topics: military factors, political factors and economic factors. Military was an enormous factor in imperialism. Leaders and countries often felt that the only way to remain safe and secure was to create naval bases around the globe. Naval bases were a “win-win” situation because the bases could also be used as merchant bases and trading ports. This meant Europe was able to increase both money and prestige due to the fact that their products were now available literally worldwide. Naval/merchant bases weren’t the only incentive to conquer; prestige and fear were sought after also. Both prestige and fear gave Europe a “leg-up” on its opponents due to basic human nature. Europe’s efforts to create fear by building naval bases and expanding their empire made Europe’s opponents feel weak and full of anxiety. This is very evident in Document 4, “Now, the French come, with their powerful weapons of war, to cause dissension among us. We are weak against them; our commanders and soldiers have been vanquished…”...

...Popular Culture of Europe Throughout the Ages Popular culture always has, and will remain, a telling aspect of the mindset of the masses throughout history. It is best defined by PhilosophyNow as the vernacular or people’s culture that predominates in a society at a point in time. The popular culture of Early Modern Europe can largely be classified as a shift from rowdy and vulgar celebrations to a more educated form of enjoying oneself. In the 1800’s, the formation of a mass society accompanied the growing literary movement, while post-WWI Europe experienced the gradual growth of mass media after numerous technological advancements, and later, a global movement towards rapid Americanization. In the mid-1300’s, the disease known as the Black Death was progressing rapidly throughout Europe. As more and more bodies were infected, the European masses began to live each day as if it were their last. This took place in the form of “sex crazed and alcoholic orgies” (Spielvogel 307). In Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron, a description of the popular reaction to the plague is featured: “Others maintained free living to be a better preservative, and would baulk no passion or appetite they wished to gratify, drinking and reveling incessantly from tavern to tavern” (Boccaccio 3). Although the most prominent scares of the Black Death began to fade away in the later years of the 14th century, the need for a rowdy form of enjoyment was still prevalent. Europe experienced a so-called...
