Chapter 16

In intro to part five it mainly speaks about a new form of human society taking place in the world,

commonly known as "modern." It all started with scientific research/data, French, and Industrial

Revolutions that was based in Western Europe. These societies had huge ideas, that guided on how

our human behavior has evolved and change. For example the movement of social equality, end of

poverty, and that the average human being may participate in a political lifestyle. Also the belief that

nations might win over empires, or women becoming equal as men or that even a possibility of

slavery will not be needed. A whole lot of ideas became a new movement for what is right or wrong.

In Strayers Chapter 16 known as "European Moment," talks about new trends, and looks at the

Atlantic Revolutions as a global view and what affects it has in the world. The Atlantic Revolutions

were more regional in nature from local grievances and demands. Another feature of the Atlantic

Revolutions can be seen in the fact that many revolutionary leaders actively participated in other

revolutions. Providing advice and encouragement to each other, closely connected. The Atlantic was

were "world of Ideas" were exchanged and debated importantly. It was more seen as a culture for the

community because can be improve by economically speaking, food, and politics. Liberty and

equality were the main topics for their society, yes there was some exclusion. While they were

thinking that their Atlantic politics and events were local it made a huge impact globally. They were

setting the terms and parameters of political debates well into the 20th century, specifically

abolitionism, nationalism, and feminism. Mainly on constitutions, representative governments and

basic human rights made a human impact till this day.
