Unit Titles Unit 1: The Enlightenment and the American Revolution Unit 2: The French Revolution and Napoleon Unit 3: The Industrial Revolution Unit 4: World War I Unit 5: The Russian Revolution and Revolutions around the World Unit 6: World War II and its aftermath Essential Questions 1. How has the individual impacted history? 2. How have political and social systems evolved over time? 3. How has history shaped art and literature? 4. How is the theme of continuity and change evident throughout history? Big Ideas/Enduring Understandings: Unit 1: The Enlightenment and the American Revolution The Enlightenment challenged the traditional order in Europe. Ideas of the physiocrats clashed with mercantilist policy. Enlightenment ideas at first affected only the upper levels of European society. Constitutional government evolved in Britain and the United States. Unit 2: The French Revolution and Napoleon New beliefs and attitudes inspired the leaders of the French Revolution. The French Revolution reshaped social and political institutions. Napoleon Bonaparte created upheaval across Europe. The effects of the French Revolution were far reaching.

2 Unit 3: The Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution transformed traditional ways of life. Capital and technology played important roles in the Industrial Revolution. Individual contributions shape the industrial age. New social and political philosophies developed during the industrial age. Science and new ways of doing business promoted industrial growth. Social, economic, and intellectual developments reshaped western social values. Literature, music, and visual arts reflected changing attitudes and values. Individuals made contributions in science, business, and the arts. Unit 4: World War I Political and military rivalries pushed the European powers toward war in the early 1900s. World War I became the first global war in history. Total war had a significant impact on soldiers and on civilians. Peace treaties ending the war led to both bitterness and hope. Unit 5: The Russian Revolution and Revolutions around the World Political, social, and, economic conditions in czarist Russia sparked a revolution. Lenin and Stalin played important roles in the emergence of the Soviet Union. The Soviet economy developed after the revolution. The Soviet Union became a totalitarian state. Nationalism and a desire for modernization affected countries around the world. The Great Depression affected world economies. Anti-imperialism movements awakened powerful forces. Unit 6: World War II and its Aftermath There were many causes and effects of the Great Depression. Writers and artists reflected the mood of postwar Europe and the United States. Some countries turned to authoritarian governments in the postwar era. Fascism upheld values of the past. The world plunged into a second global conflict after World War I. Technology affected the fighting and destruction in World War II. Totalitarian regimes were able to carry out their goals during the war. World War II changed the balance of world power. Geography influenced the war in Eastern Europe and Russia.
