WHP 1200 | Unit 4 Overview | World History Project

Change is good, right? And what is “revolution” but another word for change? In Unit 4: Revolutions 1750 to 1914, we cover the good, the not-so-good, and the things whose goodness should be determined by you, as thoughtful students of history. In this video, Colby and Kim introduce the unit with a discussion of the many ingredients that make up the complex recipe for revolution. As industrialization slowly began changing societies, creating the world we live in right now, political revolutions from the Americas to Europe to Africa took hold. New ideas, new causes, and new conflicts span one of the most transformative times in history.
