Industrial Revolution
1. The Industrial Revolution was unquestionably one of the most important factors in laying the foundation of the modern world. Discuss specific ways that it altered the political systems, the social institutions and values, and the intellectual and cultural life of all the societies that it touched by the early 20th century.
2. Based on your understanding of the events detailed in Margaret MacMillan’s book, Paris 1919: Six Months that Changed the World, build a convincing case either for or against having Paris as the location for the Peace conference that concluded World War I. In your opinion, would a more neutral site—for example a major city in North America or Asia—have altered the eventual treaty in any significant way? Why or why not?
