Ending the 19th century
We have been very busy in European History
We have done Chapters 23, Viva La Vida worksheet
Chapter 23-25 on Imperialism
Chapter 24
And we are finishing up on Chapter 25.
Major exam on the 1800s is going to be on March 14th. Students will be learning about World War I, the failure of the Weimer Republic, and the rise of the dictators....all to be done by the end of spring break. There is a mantra in AP Euro, and that is we have to be at Hitler's dictatorship by Spring Break.

Mid Term Study Guide
The last two weeks of AP Euro will be busy.
We will finish Napoleon by January 15th and move onto the momentous changes from the Congress of Vienna. After the Congress of Vienna...we will move into the Industrial Revolution, and the Age of Romanticism which, of course, was a reaction to the changes in the countryside of England and France.
We will also be learning about the different ideologies that emerged after the French Revolution...yes, now the people had a right to participate in government...and everyone had an opinion on how government and economic systems should operate.
Word like Conservatism, Liberalism, Radicalism, Socialism, Republicanism and yes....Communism will dominate. This will be called the age of the 'isms.
