    1750-1918 Key events

  • French and Indian War begin

    The french and Indian war was an important event because, it was a war that determined either the british/french would win the land of the natives or would the natives keep their own land. The war started out the british wanting the french land in North America but soon spreaded toward the Native lands. I think this was an important event because, it showed who started taking over lands so early in the worlds history.

  • Industrial Revolution

    The Industrial Revolution started from about the 1760's to around the 1840's. The revolution was a turning point in mankind, in a short amount of time we had gone from horse and cart to cars and planes, candles to lights. We started excelling in machinery and factories, work loads had been increesed majorly. People started moving from the farm lands to densly populated cities and towns. There was downsides to this, guns and firearms had been inevented, killing and the deaths had increesed.

    The Treaty of Paris ended the American Revoluntion War between Great Britian and North America and all of the allies for both countries. This is a large part in history because it ended a huge uprising in America and Great Britten

  • American Revolution Begins

    This marks the start of a long and grueling battle which killed too many people to count, Great britten and America lost a great amount of men and women but at the end of the war it did free slaves to an extent, there was still large amounts of racism and violence against the black population of the world. But it did make it so the blacks had more equal rights.

    The Declaration of Indepence was an important event because, it gave people the right to be equal and become a real commuity .It led people to life their life in peace and freedom.

  • French Revolution

    The French revolution was a massive political and social upheaval. The most famous part of this civil war was the storming of the bastille. The storming of the bastille was a breaking point in the war, because the town that stormed and took control of the bastille made the Kingback down for a short period of time because of the violence they showed torwards the Mayor, Governer and guards working and running the bastille.

  • The Delcaration of the Rights of Men

    The Declaration of the Rights of Men wrote about hat all men were equal and should be able to vote amongest the government issues. I think it impacted the world because, it allowed people to come our and vote, (which canges the way we think and do today), who they think would be right for a president, Prime Minister or among other issues wtih the laws.

  • Napoleon Bonaparte

    Napoleon gains power in France due to instability, of the french government at the time. He is later appointed First Consul, giving him almost unlimited power. He leads the French on a military in a large campaign that threatens Europe, but his army suffers massive casualties while trying to invade Russia, which leads to him and his army's downfall then falls apart before he can take all of mainland Europe.

    This wasn't a large part in history but it still was a part of it. On the 1st of may 1848 gold is discovered in California. People from all over the country all flood into California to get a peice of a 'small fourtune' as some said, soon word got out and by the hundreds people from all over the world also flood into california. This marked the start of the settelement of the west.

  • American Civil War

    This civil war was fought over the right to be free from the Union and have the right of slavery.It was won by the North over the South, they soon rejoined as one as the two sides agreed on a slavery-free country. Even though slavery was banned, problems still grew into the 1900's of racism. Racism is still a major problem today.
