The invention of the light bulb and advancements in electrical power played a key role in the growth of American cities in the late 18000s because they allowed factories to produce more, which required more workers to move to the cities. Therefore, new kinds of energy were required to factories and power steam engines, and individuals were seeking for less costly ways to cook and heat their homes and those sources of energy for electrical power.

 

EXPLANATION:

There are sources of energy for electrical power in the Americas in the 1800s:

• Natural Gas

William Hart maintained the first natural gas well in New York in 1821. After that, natural gas was the main source of light fuel for most of the 19th century. There were no gas lines connected to each house at the time, so most of the fuel was used for street lights. Robert Bunsen discovered the Bunsen burner in 1885; this development made it easy for gas to be used for heating and cooking in homes and other buildings. In the late 1800s, several pipes were built to transport natural gas to new markets.

• Coal

Coal began to be used as the main energy source in the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s and 1800s. In this time, steam-powered machines with coal-fired boilers were used to drive ships and trains. The outbreak of the U.S. Civil War caused coal to replace charcoal as a source of fuel for steel furnaces. Coal was also utilized to fuel stoves and furnaces in the house. In the 1880s, coal was utilized to produce electricity, which was used in homes and factories.

• Oil

In the mid-1800s, oil started to replace coal as the source of energy. The first oil well was dug in 1859. Petroleum was collected from wells, refined into kerosene and worn in lamps as a substitute for whale oil. In 1861, Nikolaus August Otto established an internal combustion machine, which was fueled by oil. Gasoline was not tapped until 1892 when the first car which used gasoline was built.

• Wind and Water

Natural energy sources were also used in the 1800s. Energy from windmills was mainly used for grinding grain and pumping water. Watermills generated energy from the movement of water and were benefitted for the same intentions as windmills. After the discovery of the camshaft and crankshaft, waterwheels were expended to power iron casting plants and sawmills, and then cotton factories from the mid-1800s. In the late 1880s, hydroelectric power plants were expended, to boot to coal-powered plants, to produce electricity.

Ok, so I researched and these are the answers

European countries involved:  Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Great Britain, France, and the USA

Asian people involved: Japan, French Indochina(Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.), Dutch East Indies( Indonesia), Portuguese Timor( Timor-Leste), Spanish East Indies( Philippines), British Burma( Myanmar), Borneo( Brunei, Two states of Singapore that are called Sabah and Sarawak, and the Malaysian federal territory of Labuan. ), and Malaya( Malay island, and Singapore)

Ways they resisted: Asian people were being poor because of the colonization. European powers took the economy in their hands. The people were furious. They protested, or attacked the military.

Outcomes: The European countries gave the countries to their people, and thus giving independence. They left it because, they can't handle the protests, Guerilla attacks, Skirmishes etc. Because of that, their economy started falling down too.

Hope this helps, and I'm sorry for the delay( My internet is not in good condition)

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

...in turmoil.

Explanation:

After the American Revolution, the French also believed that it was time for them to reconstruct their government. Their government under the leadership of Louis XVI & Marie Antoinette did not work well, as they proved to be ineffective in helping the people, as well as spending large amounts of money on their own pleasures. This led to the overthrow of the Monarchy as well as the Reign of Terror, that ended with the coup d'tat led by the popular Napoleon Bonaparte & the rise of the French Empire.
