My favorite time period of history is probbaly the industrial revolution. And i think it is my favorite because i enjoyed watching the world rapidly evolve. Seeing how the world changed radically almost overnight is very intretsing. I would say though that it is tied with the world wars for favorite history period. And that is just because of the conflict between the entire world and all the different ideaologies. I also enjoy the advancement of science and technlogy in both periods and how it has helped to shape the world today. What i learned about the industrial revolution is really just more details about the period. I learned more about the people involved and how the class struggles shaped how the revolution was viewed and how it effected everyday life. With world war 2 i just enjoyed learning more about the things i already knew about. For example when i did my project on the nuremburg trials. I enjoy learning every little thing that led up to the invention of nucleat science and th dropping of the atomic bomb.

Nationalists during the great depression werevery powerful. Many of the problems occuring during the great depresion were delt with in one of two ways. The first was a poor reaction and the other was using the issues to fuel the people to act. For example, a lack of resources and frustration at the economy was what the nationlists used to fuel an attack on china.

In japan in the 1920s there were huge reforms both politically and socially. But we also saw the rise of the liberal party. This party was not the same as the liberal party in america. This party focused on powerful business leaders. Because of this change in parties the economic situation in japan jumped greatly, with business and trade spreading to the whole world.

The two parties struggled mostly in political senses. There were the communists who of course wanted a communist government. But the other party wanted a more democratic government. They banded together to fight japan, but their own political struggles continued t tear the country apart.

After world war 1 the indian uprising was sparked by other countries around them declaring independence. There was also such a massive change of things in the ottomen empire and all the involved countries that it would be far easier for the indians to rise up considering it was already chaotic over there.

I have finished reading all the documents and have answered all the questions by now. so far i have learned more about the background with the zimmerman telegram and the meanng behind the 14 points. I also learned a lot about how president roosevelt felt about wilsons decisions concerning the war. I choosse the zimmerman telegram the 14 points a roosevelts reaction on the sinking of the luscitania. My favorit has probbaly been the 14 points, just because it was intresting to see what president wilson thought should happen in the war compared to what was actually happning.

world war 1 ended when Germany surrendered to the allies on november 11 1918. In this war, no one really won. Like most wars. You could say the allies won because they were surrendered too and they would recieve war payments for victory. But the financial and resourcces that the war cost them didn't really help to make up for it. Also Germany and the central powers couldent really pay the huge dues, so it's not like the money was actually going to the allies. The consequences of the war on both sides were heavy calualties, economic crisis and finanacial hardship.
