emmasim [6.3K]
<span>Why study history? The answer is because we virtually must, to gain access to the laboratory of human experience. When we study it reasonably well, and so acquire some usable habits of mind, as well as some basic data about the forces that affect our own lives, we emerge with relevant skills and an enhanced capacity for informed citizenship, critical thinking, and simple awareness. The uses of history are varied. Studying history can help us develop some literally “salable” skills, but its study must not be pinned down to the narrowest utilitarianism. Some history—that confined to personal recollections about changes and continuities in the immediate environment—is essential to function beyond childhood. Some history depends on personal taste, where one finds beauty, the joy of discovery, or intellectual challenge. Between the inescapable minimum and the pleasure of deep commitment comes the history that, through cumulative skill in interpreting the unfolding human record, provides a real grasp of how the world works.—Peter Stearns</span>

In the period circa 1750 to 1900, revolutions occurred in many parts of the world.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

In the period 1750 - 1900, there were many revolutions around the world, that changed the global social, economic, and political landscape. Many of these revolutions had one thing in common: they were led by people who demanded the end of monarchies or dictatorships, and the establishment of more republicans forms of government.

We had three good examples to confirm this: the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Latin American Revolutions. They all occurred from the end of the XVIII century to the first three decades of the XIX century. They all wanted to end a monarchical form of government, and to replace it with a Republican form of government.

The American Revolution is the clearest example, it resulted in the secession of the American Colonies from the United Kingdom, and the formation of a new federal republic: the United States of America.

Bond [772]

Instead, the act had a devastating effect on American trade.
