Essential Question:
By 1800, England had lost its American colonies and France was torn apart by a violent revolution. Yet, by 1900, Western Europe and the U.S. had world wide empires, a dominance which continues to this day. What factors brought Western Europe and the U.S. to this world power status, and what were the domestic and worldwide responses to these changes?

Departmental Focus Questions:
1) How did industrialization spread, and what impact did it have on the growth of modern cities and daily life?
2) What were the intellectual responses, both positive and critical, to industrialization (i.e. Malthus, Marx, Darwin, etc.)?
