Global History
The modern world has developed gradually through a process that involved individual steps or corporate contributions. This period is characterized by events that these individuals or corporate efforts performed in order to improve and make history of the global development. As a way of improving, certain events that happened brought negative or positive effect that contributed also to the advancement ideas. Therefore, the modern world has developed through a series of events.
The introduction of the colonial era was an event that contributed to development of the modern world. This was done through the creation of a centralized from of governance that craved for recognition in the world. “This created a notion that kingdoms had to be recognized according to their power of influence both in military and also in their financial status” (Irwin 132).
Urbanization was also an event that occurred in the east part of the world and thus enhancing modernization. This involved the movement of people from rural area to the urban in search for employment opportunities. Consequently, “there was increased population in the urban areas that also resulted to development of urban centers” (Rushing 23). This was because other activities such as agriculture were not productive for they only produced seasonally hence income was not consistent.
The Transformation of the western territories in the 17th century contributed to the organized military groupings that were aimed at resisting oppression. Many Russian kingdoms faced a lot of resistance from groups that desired for changes. Therefore, “this transformation was vital step for the awakening of the people” (Gruchaman 78).
The “industrial revolution in 1850 was also an event that brought the modernization because there was growth in technology and in economy” (Hamen 98). The introduction of these industries also was the key result for the urbanization because many industries were located in the urban areas.
The introduction of trade activities in 1745 influenced many of the activities that led to the global transformation. The batter trade system enhanced the exchange of goods with other goods in order to satisfy human wants. Consequently, “the continuation of trade activities facilitated the introduction of currency that aided as a form of exchange in trade” (Mommsen 111).
The European revolution of the 18th century both in the industrial and political sector brought about an improvement in the social technological aspects of life. In other words, new improved devices and tools were produced. In addition, “new weaponry for fighting was manufactured thus facilitating security for the then government” (Moore 200).
Events such as colonization and trade activities geared for the introduction of western civilization. “This act involved the transfer of knowledge from the knowledged to the illiterate” (Power 105). Thus, education was another major event that led to the development of the modern world.
Religion was also another factor of development that in conjunction with education were major contributors in the global revolution. Religion brought a lot of controversy in the social life setup of the people. Thus, “there was erosion of the social cultures which were replaced by the religion teachings” (Clarke 56).
In the 19th century, “the imperialism and creation of empires in the European nations geared for the formation of new forms of governance” (Deckard 65). The empires that had been formed craved to be the world’s super powers hence having the ability to control the world activities. This also involved both the industrial and colonial powers that each state possessed.
The revolution of America in 1812 brought changes in the political and social sector in the continent. This encompassed the abolition of the slave trade, which was facilitated by many nationalist. “The American destiny was defined through the civil war that had occurred” (Puls 67). Thus, the economic and political changes in America had a great influence on all other nations of the world.
