Unit 5 Overview | World History Project AP®

This video focuses on revolutions from 1750 to 1900 including the political and industrial revolutions that swept across the world in the long nineteenth century. These revolutions transformed human life, leading to dramatic changes across all the AP® themes. New types of constitutional governments were formed and new economic systems like socialism and communism grew in popularity. As economies changed, new social classes emerged. And as new technologies allowed more people to travel, cultural practices were exchanged across borders. The use of fossil fuels to power new technologies also impacted the environment in negative ways.
