WH 3-1

Page history last edited by Pam Merrill 3 years, 10 months ago

Oklahoma Academic Standard 3. The student will analyze the political, economic, and social transformations brought about by the events of the age of revolutions and imperialism (1750-1900 CE).

Objective 3.1  Analyze the causes and global impact of 

  A. England’s Glorious Revolution

  B. the American Revolution

  C. the French Revolution including the Napoleonic Wars 

  D. the Congress of Vienna. 

In a Nutshell

This objective requires students to evaluate the impact of the ideas of the Enlightenment and how such ideas influenced resistance to existing political authority, resulting in pressure for independence and the pursuit of democratic ideals. These political events reoriented political systems across the globe, placing more control in the hands of citizens. Students should understand; however, that following the Napoleonic Wars, which extended the French Revolution across Europe, the conservative reaction of the Congress of Vienna fostered the continued influence of absolute monarchs in the nineteenth century.

Teacher Action 

Student Action 

  • Assist students to evaluate the impact of perspectives, civic virtues, democratic principles, constitutional rights, and human rights on issues and problems in society which have the potential of leading to revolution.

  • Provide opportunities for students to draw upon gathered information to analyze how a specific problem can manifest itself in local, regional, and global levels over time. 

  • Compare and analyze civic virtues and democratic principles in historic and global settings, explaining how they influence various political systems. 

  • Explain specific roles played by informed and responsible citizens  in all forms of government.

Key Concepts 

Misconceptions 

  • comparison of the contributory factors and impact of revolutions of the Atlantic

  • rise of the concept of nationalism

  • focus on the interrelationships of these events, rather than in-depth analysis 

  • Students often assume that the American Revolution is the best example of an Enlightenment Revolution yet fail to recognize that its actual change on societal structures was limited.
