To industrialize so that they could catch up with western powers or stay strong, they had to constantly use natural resources. Once they realized that their own natural resources were not enough, they had to expand imperialistically; that is, acquiring overseas/overland colonies, such as the British in India producing cotton and textiles and the Spanish in Latin America.

As time went on and the abuses of these mother nations went on, those who were ruled over decided to band together as a common ethnic group with the same goal of getting rid of their rulers and unifying their split up groups. This resulted in the unification of people, an independent nation, as well as the removal of foreign powers within that nation.

Examples include the various revolutions throughout the west: the American, French, Haitian, and Latin American revolutions, as well as the revolutions throughout Africa: the revolutions in Algeria, Angola, and Ghana.

However, not all people within a nation were entirely for this idea, resulting in the competing forces of nationalism and sectionalism. For example, during the process of unification in Italy, there were areas of modern Italy that were very different from the other parts of Italy, becoming an obstacle for unification. Specifically, Piedmont, which is Northern Italy today, was industrialized and had a centralized system of governance, while areas in Southern Italy, such as Sicily, were poor and still had an agrarian society.

Describe mass society and explain how it affected the economy and leisure activities

Sauron [17]

Mass society is used to characterize the modern society. In such society, similarities between the behavior and attitude of the people are utilized for dealing with them, by the institutions, rather than that of their dissimilarities. The economy is affected positively by the attitude of the people to educate themselves and do a job. Leisure activities are affected due to the behavior of the masses to SHOW OFF the people, that they are enjoying and actually they are not enjoying or not utilizing their time completely.

Who Sank the Lusitania and how that changed the course of the war.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

I always loved this topic.

Explanation:

The German U-boats sank the Lusitania. The Lusitania was a passenger ship heading east. It was also heading into the area that a U-boat was in. Since the Albert Einstein Was German, when he accidentally made the nuclear Bomb, they used it. but they were using it in the U-boats, and they were sinking the ships that were bombers, and also the ships that were trading goods, because they were in the middle of the war. The U-boat hit the ship in the side, and it blew part of the ship up. So then, when the people tried to escape, the U-boats hit again, which gave them a 0.4% chance to escape, but they weren't able to. They were close to shore, but it made the other side angry and somewhat terrified, because they wouldn't be able to trade goods with other countries. It also let the people know that they were bombing, and they had the bombs, because when they hit the bomber ships, it was in the middle of the ocean. But because they were close to shore when they blew it up, they all saw it.

I really, really, hope this helps you and you get a good grade on this. Thank you!
