Key Question 1 Where did the Industrial Revolution begin, and how did it diffuse? The manufacturing of goods began long before the Industrial Revolution. The quality of production varied according to place, though India was considered the best at the time. However, in price and quality, Europe?s products could not match those of other parts of the world. Commercial companies, including the Dutch and British East India Companies, laid the groundwork for Europe?s colonial expansion. Europeans gained control over local industries in India, Indonesia, and elsewhere, profiting from political chaos that ensued in the wake of European intervention, and pitted local factions against one another.

Samantha Greenblatt January 30th, 2014 US6 Causes of the Great Depression Stock Market Crash: Documents C, D, F The stock market crash was one of the causes of the Great Depression because at the time almost every citizen had invested in the stock market. When it crashed more than 40 billion dollars were lost. Many Americans believed they could get rich by investing in stocks so that is what they did. Because people?s life savings were put in the stocks, they lost all of their money. They had no money to spend, which meant businesses had no income. With no money there was no consumption, which caused businesses to fail and inevitably caused the Great Depression. Margin and installment Buying: Documents G, H

DBQ: Silver Trade Between the mid sixteenth century to the early eighteenth century, the production of silver boomed in Spain, China and Europe. Even though the trade of silver was popular, this would eventually cause a significant decrease in the production. Based on these documents, the effect of the increase of silver production was beneficial to the European merchants, whose trade was with both the Spanish and Chinese (Doc 4,8), but the increase of silver in China (Doc 1,3,5,7) and Spain (Doc 2,6) would cause a fall in the empires.

Late Middle Ages Outline Political Institutions ? Decentralized Government ---> Centralized Government As a result of the Decline of Feudalism, (because trade routes opened, people ran away from the manor, etc.) after the crusades, and decline of the Catholic Church, kings began the process of recentralizing power. They had to take away power from the church and nobles to begin the process. They did this by: Taxing the church and nobles The church and nobility never paid taxes due to their extensive amount of land they owned. The king moved to try and force them to pay taxes The king built armies He created independent armies so he wouldn?t be dependent on his vassals (reason to how the king lost his authority in the beginning) More efficient/ centralized government
