#6 industrial revolution

The working conditions of the industrial revolution consisted of working from a very young age, long hours, dangerous jobs, low pay and few breaks.This caused workers in western countries to organize into unions to press reforms for better working conditions. To improve their situation, unions went on strikes in which they refused to work until demands were made. Governments and business owners silence these protesters so that other workers would not get the same ideas so that others wouldn't strike also.

#5 revolutions in the arts.

Romanticism- emphasized emotion through nature and heroism. paintings tend to show how things should be rather then how they actually are in reality.
Painting:Combat of  Giaour and hassen, 1826, made by Eugene Delacroix.
*This painting embodies this style of art because it shows heroism and nature through the horsemen fighting in a natural setting.









Realistic art- Artists strived to make their artwork reflect realiy of that time as realistically as possible.
Painting-The stone breakers,1849 made by Gustave Courbet.
*This painting embodies this form of art because it describes reality of that time through hardwork and labor.











Impressionism- The artist shows its own impression of a certain moment in time. 
Painting- Soleil levant, 1823 made by Claude Manet.
* This Painting embodies  this art style because it shows the artists impression of that certain moment in time, the artists impression was obviously happy because of the bright colors used in the painting.

Enlightenment#4

What all the Latin American revolutions had in common is that they all wanted independence from the country that was ruling them wether it was the French or Spanish empire. These enlightenment ideas came to Latin America because of people hearing ideas of others people's revolutions such as in France or in revolutions in surrounding countries throughout latin America. Also the Creoles played a major role in spreading ideas because they herd of these ideas while studying in Europe and spread them once they arrived in Latin America.
