Today In History

GAHH! Soo we took that unit test for AP World History today. I'm soo disappointed with myself. You don't know how bad I did =/

Well this unit's time period was 1700-1900. During this time, Revolutions were happening like the American Revolution, French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, Latin America's Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution. Colonies wanted to become independent, or they didn't like their government, or wanted to be free of slavery. The Industrial Revolution made a big impact on the world. We would not be where we are today without it. We got steam engines, electricity, the telegraph, better railroads. This led to assembly lines, and better manufacturing of goods. It became better because labor was cheap and dividing work gave better quality of the goods. The telegraph connected the world and technology just got better. New ideas came about like nationalism and imperialism. Slavery became abolished and immigration to the West became big. Austria-Hungary was a Great Power and during the Qing Dynasty there was an opium war. I learned what communism was and it's not a bad thing.

Geez. I guess I learned alot but I didn't retain it for the test. I did my best but I don't think it was good enough. ohh yeah and that essay! Mann. .I really don't like C.O.T.'s.
Until next time,
