  • The Greek Heritage

    The Greek Heritage
    One of the people who contributed to spread Greek ideas was Alexander the Great. He conquered a vast empire within 10 years, and the Greek culture linked the Mediterranean. In addition, the Ancient Romans used Greek ideas, so some of the ideas are known because of the Romans. This event impacts me because I know about the Pythagorean theorem because of them. In conclusion, the spread of Greek ideas affected the world.

    Roman Law
    The Roman Law protected all citizens, and they wrote the law so that there are no misconceptions. Also, the judge made a verdict based on the law. We still use these three ideas, so it is very important.
    This event affects me because I have the right to get education since the written law states so. If it weren’t written, poor families might not be able to send their children to school. We still use the Roman law, so it is important.

    Changes in Production
    Steam Engine
    The first machine of the Industrial Revolution was in Great Britain for textiles. It was used in factories. Each machine did something over and over again so the product was made more quicker. In addition, this was much more cheaper. This invention was the beginning of the Industrial Revlution when goods began to be made by machines.

    Cities Are Congested
    People left their farms and came to the cities to work at factories. The factories didn't have a good environment, and they didn't pay them well. That made people live in cramped, dirty housing. The unclean conditions caused deceases to spread.
  • Changes in Government

    Changes in Government
    Colonization

    Many European countries followed imperialism, so they took over many parts of Africa and Southeast Asia. People in the colonies had to change their language and their religion. On the other hand, there was a good effect for the ruling countries because they can get resources, they can sell their goods, and they can spread their influence. Later, these colonies became a huge problem for the Europen countries.
