The Age of Imperialism
Trends and Themes of the Era

    American industrialization created a need for foreign markets in which to sell manufactured goods and from which to buy raw materials.
    Early efforts to find foreign markets involved economic expansionism, which focused on opening markets through investment rather than military involvement. Under President McKinley, near the end of the nineteenth century, the United States wanted to increase its exposure in foreign markets and shifted to a more militaristic and imperialist policy.
    Victory in the Spanish-American War gave the U.S. an empire, and also marked the ascendance of the U.S. as a world power.

The Industrial Revolution, which took place from the 18th to 19th centuries, was a period during which predominantly agrarian, rural societies in Europe and America became industrial and urban. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, which began in Britain in the late 1700s, manufacturing was often done in people’s homes, using hand tools or basic machines. Industrialization marked a shift to powered, special-purpose machinery, factories and mass production. The iron and textile industries, along with the development of the steam engine, played central roles in the Industrial Revolution, which also saw improved systems of transportation, communication and banking. While industrialization brought about an increased volume and variety of manufactured goods and an improved standard of living for some, it also resulted in often grim employment and living conditions for the poor and working classes.

This is great.

"cavemen" originated in Asia


I know all the wars.

WWI+II affected the future of the children afterwards and was the most influential wars, affected the whole world at a time of critical development in things such as factories.

The Revolutionary war was the war between the U.S. and England and fought near the country's critical development.

The Civil War was the war over slavery.

There were wars involving the fighting of Japan, Vietnam, and the Koreas.


What if "the South" had to stop slavery of black people because they were getting uncomfortable and riots began.


I just read @ the bloody Civil War.

I am concerned the Jews were always hated.  However, I might have at least 2 Jewish last names.  I like the Swiss 1, and the other name is Polish.  No Russian, I guess.  All I can say is no one cares how much people have hated on my race and think my work to plow through life was their doing.  I even think of the ballet "The Nutcracker" to think of Dutch Jew Anne Frank.  Audrey Hepburn was 1/2 Dutch and did ballet.  I also watched like "The Pianist.." in school.

The division from England, guessing there were people there who weren't English and not so uptight like an Oriental.  Tea was a big celebrated thing to have.  Lots of flavors, as well.  You know, in the mall they serve alcohol in a new places and give out samples to young people.
