Global Conflicts and Their Consequences At the beginning of the twentieth century, a European-dominated global political order existed, which also included the United States, Russia, and Japan. Over the course of the century, peoples and states around the world challenged this order in ways that sought to redistribute power within the existing order and to restructure empires, while those peoples and states in power attempted to maintain the status quo. Other peoples and states sought to overturn the political order itself. These challenges to, and the attempts to maintain, the political order manifested themselves in an unprecedented level of conflict with high human casualties. In the context of these conflicts, many regimes in both older and newer states struggled with maintaining political stability and were challenged by internal and external factors, including ethnic and religious conflicts, secessionist movements, territorial partitions, economic dependency, and the legacies of colonialism.

Notes on Unit 8 Topics
Notes on Unit 8 Topics
These notes should be used to SUPPLEMENT the note taking of your own. I would use these to help organize yours as well.
An Example of HOW to use these...
1. If you find a topic in these notes unfamiliar to you I would highlight it and add notes (annotate) to increase your understanding
2. See what is in the notes and make sure your notes reflect most of the same information but in YOUR OWN WORDS.
