Revolutions

-          Political  Authority over someone else (absolutism)

Many countries throughout history have been ruled by a controlling King/ Queen. I am sure to them some of the King’s commands and laws have seemed ridiculous and foolish. However, they had to follow them if they wanted to keep their job, save their lives, or their family’s lives. 

 

-          Social (huge populations, food shortages)

Many cities in Europe were becoming over-crowed with people, especially if certain classes of people were allowed in certain areas. Also, because there were so many people it lead to a food shortage in various countries around Europe. 

 

- Religious: (disagreeing and splitting apart/ forming something new)

    Reformation: a sudden change in something. Not necessarily violent! 

 

-          Intellectual (Questioning and entrepreneurs lead to the industrial revolution)

Questioning and thinking about thing can also lead to a revolution.

            Industrial Revolution: was a time when new ideas, new technology, machines, and inventions were being created that were replacing old traditions and methods.

  

           

            ~another huge event during the industrial revolution was changes in transportation.

    

Discuss how these different inventions and new discoveries could have suddenly change society.
