Our first steps into the MODERN PERIOD (1750-1900) are revolutionary. The last period saw its fair share of change; but this period, is ALL ABOUT CHANGE. We begin with the Political Revolutions (USA!, France, Haiti, Latin America). But, the majority of this unit deals with a revolution of a different kind… THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. There is no greater change in humanity than the Industrial Revolution. It’s on par with the Agricultural Revolution in changing the way humanity functions as a whole. Look around you right now… pretty much everything near you is a product of the Industrial Revolution (including the school you’re in!). These are the Revolutions of the Modern Period (1750-1900).
