BP1: How did European expansion in the nineteenth century differ from that of the Early Modern Era?
Europe in the nineteenth century utilized immense new resources created by the Industrial Revolution to drive its expansion.
European states were more powerful in the nineteenth century and were able to field more military resources in their imperialist competition with each other.
To a greater extent than before, in the nineteenth century Europe integrated other parts of the world in networks of trade, investment, and sometimes migration. This eventually generated a new world economy.
Unlike the early modern period, in the nineteenth century European expansion brought with it a new culture of modernity—its scientific rationalism and technological achievements, its belief in a better future, and its ideas of nationalism, socialism, feminism, and individualism.
On another note, Strayer uses (and I'm semi-paraphrasing here as the book's not in front of me) "millennial religious movements". I think it unlikely you know what that means. So look it up. As a mean old history teacher, I'm likely to assess your understanding of that. Remember "transubstantiation" and how that bloodied your nose? (Is that a pun?)
Don't ignore images, charts and maps. Look at the image on the WHAP page, that's the way I feel about reading.
