Homework/In Class Assignments for Mr. Davey's

Media Arts: World History Class


Mr. Davey will slowly work to put his files on canvas. The course can be found here.


Following the French Revolution the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) would try to restore order and peace to Europe. They tried to control the continent with an iron hand and erase the memory of the recent French Revolution. However, the forces released by the revolution in the end would be too strong for this international agency to control.
In 1815 the vast majority of Europeans lived on the land and worked in agriculture, but by 1914 a majority lived in and around cities and were employed in the new industrial economy. In 1815 women were truly second-class citizens with few rights or privileges, but by 1914 women's rights were approaching those of men. In 1815 political life was dominated by the struggle between aristocratic society and those seeking its end, but by 1914 a dizzying constellation of political movements representing every social class and ideological persuasion had emerged.
We will examine the rise of the explosive social and national tensions in late nineteenth-century Europe which culminated in world war and revolution (Russia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland). Key themes are industrialization and the rise of the labor movement; urbanization and its impact on gender roles; the flowering of bourgeois culture and its fin de sihcle crisis; the transformation of revolutionary into "integral" nationalism and imperialist jingoism; great power rivalry and the origins of the First World War. We will also investigate the plethora of ISMs which were developed or flowered during the 19th century and argue which was the most equipped for the society of a mythical country known as Daveyland..
Crucial Questions:
1. Is maintaining peace worth suppressing change?
2. Does the Nation-State have to be the norm for countries?
3. Do radical changes in society require the oppression of the laboring classes?

Extra Credit movie format . Note only one extra credit movie per unit.(30 point max)


It is the duty of those who, under the blessings of Divine Providence, enjoy station, wealth, and education to assist those less fortunate than themselves."

If it should be war you desire, then I am ready, but never to be your subject. I do not fall at your feet, for you are God's creature just as I am. I am sultan here in my land. You are sultan there in yours. Yet listen, I do not say to you that you should obey me; for I know that you are a free man. As for me, I will not come to you, and if you are strong enough, then come and fetch me.
