In order to get credit for this project you must write an essay on the following topic:
Industrial Domination
The 18th and 19th centuries marked the beginning of European and Western global supremacy. The changes to Western Civilization the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment had created in Europe were soon felt around the globe. The Scientific Revolution led to the advanced technology that caused the Industrial Revolution while the Enlightenment led to reforms in government that caused political revolutions and nationalist sentiment throughout the world. The industrial and politically efficient nation states that made up Western Civilization in the 19th century used their new-found power to conquer every market on the globe, a time historians term the Era of Imperialism. Consider the developments you have studied this unit, and write an essay of 600 words or more that identifies the cultural, political, and economic factors that led to imperialism in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
