European Moment and Revolutions.



During 1750 and 1914, the new type of society was created and it was called "modern." On those period, in all the western Europe, there was growth on scientific, French, and industrial revolution. Those societies learned many things from the history, people think more positive for others, like people were against slavery. These societies influence other human beings. However, the European empires take over India, Southeast Asia and Africa. Other place the European didn't control much.

The Europeans had power to rewrite the history and geography and change other people view. That's the main reason why there is lack of real history. Few decades after World War II, the scholars and teachers real history, but at that time they were dealing with other problem. All though the European moment run on global scale, they enjoyed two centuries. For example, Europeans colonized and control over India. While British ruled India, Indian people still practice there own religion and it was Hindu and Muslim. Moreover, Native Americans were dying from Europeans disease  Europe history get connected with other people, religions, and cultures.

In Scientific Revolution, European drew Islam science and get new knowledge around the world. In Industrial Revolution, the European get resources from new world. Europeans were seeking to gain advantage and benefit from new situations. The most interesting of modern world history is that European not just influence western culture, but they also show inequality among people and show cultural difference among people.

American Revolution gave birth to the United States. When Americans were struggling for independence from British and it is called Declaration of Independence  Atlantic Revolution had same ideas like cultural exchange, intellectual, and biological intercourse. Human political and social arrangements could improve human action. In American Revolution there was a political change, but only for white men; women or color people  did not had rights like to vote, going to school and more. Through the histories people influence people, so there is always change on people and history.

Religion and Science

"This country wasn't founded on Muslim beliefs or evolution. The Country was found on Christianity  and our students should be taught as such." 
--> I disagree with the ides how students should learn about Christianity because I thought that Native people founded this country, so I believe that we should learn about their history and culture, Not Christianity. However, I think that the America is place where there is people from all around the world. So I think that there should not be one religion different than another religion. There should equal between all religions and people have their on choices. For example, people can choose their religion or not choose the religion. 

In the United States, there was a problem between modern science and some christian believes. On the historian events of the early modern era. Religion and science have different way of understanding the world. Getting to know the current European empire building and commercial, Christianity was established in the American and Philippines; later in China, India, Siberia, and Japan; and not much in country there was large number of Islam growing. In modern era there was cultural intercourse, in short, were not a "one-way Street." 

Martin Luther in a man who worried about not having relationship with God. However, later he learned that if you have faith on God and help others who are needed for help than God will save you and you don't go to sin. 

In Modern early era, Colonial colonist and traders, and at the same  they teach other people about their religion. Christianity become very popular in Spanish American and China and many starter practice. 
I think that Native people in Spain are more stronger with there own religion than people from China because it seems like Chinese people are more involve in Christianity than Native people from Spain. 
Nowadays, many people around the world believe in Christianity.

Commerce in People: The Atlantic Slave Trade

            Global network is linked commercial of early modern world. The trade were spices and textiles, silver and gold, beaver pelts and deerskin  slaves and sugar. Four centuries ago, more or less II million African people shipped across the Atlantic to the America as a slaves. People who sold and captured the slaves were outsiders, and those people didn't had strong community, which made it easy of people who were getting slave for money. In the America there were three different races slaves and they were some European  African and Native American. Lots of Native Americans died from European disease. From the slavery the word Racism come because there were two colored people black and white. They owned and exchanged slaves, but at that time it wasn't a big deal. 

           The European learned about sugar production from Arabic people and later European formed their own sugar production in west Africa, America and more countries. Sugar production was the first modern industry with new technologies. The Europeans made slaves do all the hard and dangerous work. The Europeans take all the profit from the sugar production and their country had good economic condition. However in the America, African became the main source for plantation the economic system. In the modern era people are more dependent on the world market.

Sweet Nexus: Sugar And The Origins Of The Modern World







Everything we eat, the material we use on clothing and housing are the product made by people we don't even know. They may live in different parts of the world and have cultural difference. Buying and selling each day in connected to the global market around the world, comes together. Global market is even present today because everyday million of people buy their goods in their daily bases.

Trading a common goods is the part of the human experience from long time ago. In societies people give more value to hierarchical societies. For example, if you buy tow pair of pants and one made in china and another made in France. On this two pants there will be a price different because of quality and the social economic system of the nation.

Country like England and France have money and labor and natural resources of other societies. For exampled, the early century Great British and some European country colonize different parts of the world and they use labors, but they talk all the products to their country and take all the profit. That is the main reason why the north western Europe become the powerful and wealthy ( Core ) country and Africa, Asia, and the America were periphery countries.

From seventeen century, people started using coffee  tea, cocoa, tobacco, and sugar from far distances and that was the time it become very popular.  

Sugar
Sugar build the modern economic of England in seventeen and Eighteen centuries. England use the labor and resources of other country, like the America, Asia and African , but they added the value and take all the profits.

There are four stage of making the sugar:
First: Sugar grow in hot place.
Second: They need labors for all the seasons.
Third: put the price of the sugar in large scale.
Fourth: processing the business and enterprise.

The poor people spent their money on sugar and tea because if you drink one cup of tea it will make you full and they don't have to worry of getting hungry. It is very unhealthy to drink tea instead of meal but people don't do this with you their choice.

The two extremes of the plantation are master and field slave. They nee machines and labor all year long.
The profit of sugar mostly goes to Europe because of the early appearance of factory production.

European Empires and Asian Empires

The western Europeans made their empire in the USA, and Russia became the largest empire in Europe.
In 17th century, in Russia large number of people mostly did hunting, gathering, and herding people, who did not have weapons or power. Some Russian immigrants to the new land, the empires gave them "wealth 
and social status" because the were educated. 

When Russia try to be more powerful empire, they made modern weapons and guns. Than, Russia control  both the steeps and Siberia and Russian took native people land and made them pay tax which was fur from animals. Many native people learn language, change religion into Christine and life style. They lose their traditional and cultural group.   Russia become very large territories, but with quite small population.

Asia and Europe had problem for 300 years because Russia was between Asia and Europe.


- The Ottoman Empire ( Turks ): The Ottoman Empire was in Turkey. It was created from warrior group.
                                            Muslim leads the large number of Christian People.
- The Mughal Empire: The Mughal Empire was in India. It was also created from warrior group. There are

                                   empire.

Empires and Encounters

In the early eighteen century, Chinese control the territory. However, now in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, some people are looking for independent. In other hand the colones started coming to the USA and they bring slaves. The early modern empire are China, Russia, and the USA. At that time there was a big change like older societies were destroying. For example, people started flowing different religions.
More and more immigrants coming the east cost of the USA. The Europeans and African came the the US with diseases which killed large number of Native people. Moreover, many new arrives died from hunger. Europeans  African, and Native people work together and create a society. In modern era corn and potato were the popular food.

American colones developed the processes of globalization and make world economic of the early modern.
However, the Colonies very different work for different ethnic of people. On sugar-production slave had very difficult condition. On those days light skin people were more wealthy and educated than dark skin.
Many Colones brought their culture with them, but many other changed it and become Quakers or Massachusetts. During nineteenth and twentieth centuries the Colonial world changed into the USA.
