European exploration of new worlds in the 15th-16th centuries, the Second World War events of the 1930s-40s, recent Chinese investments in Africa and Asia, the migration of people from the steppes to South Asia thousands of years ago, and Japan's Meiji Restoration in the 19th century are identified as some of the riskiest but most impactful events in world history. These events helped spur industrial revolutions, shaped the global balance of power, and created or transformed major modern nations and economies.

Living through World War 2 was a fearful time for British citizens who lived in constant fear of a German invasion after being pushed back at Dunkirk. Women took on new roles working in factories and agriculture to replace men serving in the war. The government tightly controlled civilian life through propaganda, rationing, and film to maintain resources and morale. Pearl Harbor drew the US into the war as valuable allies against Germany and Japan. The decisive Soviet victory at Stalingrad was a turning point that caused heavy German losses. The massive D-Day invasion of Normandy by Allied troops on June 6, 1944 helped bring a quicker end to the war.The siege of yorktown

The Siege of Yorktown was the final major battle of the American Revolution. Lord Cornwallis had been campaigning in the South and retreated to Yorktown, Virginia. George Washington heard of this and decided to attack Yorktown. This resulted in Lord Cornwallis surrendering, as he signed a surrender document and marched out with his troops, marking a major victory for the Americans in the Revolutionary War.Truth or Prapaganda

The USA entered WWI in 1917 for several reasons: German unrestricted submarine warfare sank American merchant ships and violated free trade; the Zimmerman Telegram proposed a German alliance with Mexico against the US; and President Wilson hoped to make the world safe for democracy. When the US joined the Allies, it provided troops and supplies that helped tip the balance in their favor. The war had significant impacts on the US such as women entering the workforce, the passage of women's suffrage and prohibition, and the Great Migration of African Americans to northern cities. The Treaty of Versailles after WWI was harsh on Germany and contributed to the start of WWII.Lesson 6 canadian home front

The 1950s saw major changes in American life and culture. The GI Bill helped veterans afford college and housing, contributing to the post-war baby boom and suburbanization. Families moved to new suburban developments like Levittown, helping popularize the ideal of home ownership. Consumerism and consumer goods also grew dramatically in this period. Teen culture emerged as a distinct phase of life. Strict gender roles were widely promoted as women focused on homemaking and childrearing while men worked as breadwinners. Television played a large role in shaping and broadcasting images of 1950s culture and lifestyle.HW#43

There were four main reasons that motivated the U.S. to become an imperial power in the late 19th century: 1) Economic motivations including the need for new markets and resources to fuel industrial growth; 2) Military and political motivations to build American influence and naval power to compete with European empires; 3) Cultural and ideological beliefs in social Darwinism and the white man's burden to spread American civilization; 4) Nationalist motivations as the closing of the western frontier threatened American identity and prosperity.6.1 canada 1960s and_70's

In 1973, he launched a surprise attack against Israel on Yom Kippur, crossing the Suez Canal and breaking through Israeli defenses. This made Sadat hugely popular in Egypt as a "Hero of the Crossing." Sadat then pursued peace negotiations, visiting Jerusalem in 1977 and negotiating the Camp David Accords in 1978, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize. However, his separate peace with Israel alienated other Arab states and led to his assassination by Islamists in 1981. Mubarak succeeded Sadat as President of Egypt.How the americas change

Globalization in the 19th century was shaped by imperialism. Industrialization allowed for cheap mass production while population growth created high demand for goods. After the Opium Wars opened China to foreign trade and Britain conquered India, these regions became large markets for European exports. Areas of Africa and the Pacific were also incorporated into the global trade system during this period. European conquests of these lands yielded natural resources and helped fuel trade between imperial powers and the United States.globalization (the making of global world)

Imperialism and colonialism involved the conquest and rule of other lands and peoples. From 1870 onward, European powers aggressively expanded their colonial empires, driven by economic, political, and ideological motives. They sought raw materials, markets, and national prestige. By the late 19th century, most of Africa and Asia was under European control as a result of the "scramble for Africa" and colonial expansion in Asia. The consequences of imperialism were mixed, providing some benefits but also economic exploitation and loss of culture for colonized peoples. Colonial expansion also increased tensions between European powers.Sociales 2

Gamal Abdel Nasser was an Egyptian army officer who became president of Egypt from 1956 to 1970. He nationalized the Suez Canal in 1956, provoking the Suez Crisis where Britain, France, and Israel invaded Egypt but were forced to withdraw by the US and Soviet Union. Nasser emerged as a hero of Arab nationalism. He pursued pan-Arab unity and formed the United Arab Republic with Syria from 1958 to 1961. Nasser was widely popular for his anti-imperialism and vision of uniting the Arab world.The Age of Empires
The Age of Empirespapefons Fons

The document discusses the Age of Empires between the late 19th century and WW2, when powerful industrialized nations extended control over other territories to exploit their resources and establish colonies. Motivated by economic, demographic, and political reasons, the major European powers and Japan raced to claim territories in Africa, Asia, and Oceania. While some justified colonialism as a civilizing mission, it was largely driven by notions of racial superiority and led to exploitation of resources and people in the colonies for the benefit of the colonizing countries. Decolonization movements eventually emerged seeking independence.Carlos Arturo7 C
