Directions: Read the documents in Part A and answer the questions after each document. Then, read the directions for Part B and write your essay. Historical Context: The modern world was born out of a combination of forces. Task: Using information from the documents and your knowledge of global history and geography, write an essay in which you discuss how the Industrial Revolution and the New Imperialism combined to create the modern world. Discuss some positive and negative aspects of these changes. PART A: SHORT ANSWER Document #1 "Of all the common prejudices that exist with respect to factory labor, none is more unfounded than the one that holds the work to be difficult. In an establishment for spinning or weaving cotton, all the hard work is performed by the steam engine. The worker has literally nothing to do in general, but occasionally join the thread that breaks or perform other easy tasks. It is far from being true that work in a factory goes on without interruption." Andrew Ure, nineteenth-century Scottish chemist 1. Using the illustration and the quote, what impression do you have of a nineteenth-century factory? Document #2 SADLER: At what age did you first go to work in a factory? CRABTREE: Eight. SADLER: Will you state the hours of labor in ordinary times? CRABTREE: From 6 in the morning to 8 at night. SADLER: Were you always there on time? CRABTREE: No. SADLER: What was the consequence if you had been too late? CRABTREE: I was most severely beaten. SADLER: Will you state to the Committee whether piecening [joining of broken threads] is difficult work for children? CRABTREE: It is very difficult work. Pieceners are continually running to and fro, and on their feet the whole day. SADLER: So that the work is not only continual, but it is unceasing to the end. CRABTREE: It is unceasing to the end. Testimony of Michael Crabtree 2. According to Michael Crabtree, how did industrialization affect working conditions?
Document #3 "I contend that we are the first race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. I contend that every acre added to our territory provides for the birth of more of the English race, who otherwise would not be brought into existence. I believe it to be my duty to god, my Queen and my country to paint the whole map of Africa red. That is my creed, my dream and my mission." Cecil Rhodes, quoted in A Plague of Europeans: Westerners in Africa Since the Fifteenth Century by David Killingray 3. Explain how Cecil Rhodes used English nationalism to justify imperialism. Document #4 Amount of African Land Controlled by Europeans 4. How did European nationalism affect Africa?
Document #5 Spheres of Influence in China to 1914 5. What conclusion can be drawn from the map? Document #6 "Modern progressive nations lying in the temperate zone seek to control "garden spots" in the tropics [mainly in Africa, Latin America, and Asia]. Under [the] direction [of the progressive nations], these places can yield tropical produce. In return, the progressive nations bring to the people of those garden spots the foodstuffs and manufactures they need. [Progressive nations] develop the territory by building roads, canals railways, and telegraphs. They can establish schools and newspapers for the colonies [and] give these people the benefit of other blessings of civilization which they have not the means of creating themselves." O. P. Austin, "Does Colonization Pay?" The Forum (1900) 6. According to O. P. Austin, what benefits did the colonies receive from the "modern progressive nations"? Document #7 "There exists in colonial lands a rule which has a stranglehold on the country's economy. I regard the idea of imperialism as a crime against humanity, because it enables any part of the human race which is armed with modern scientific knowledge to rule over less fortunate sections of mankind, simply because the latter are unable to resist the force which supports such rule. We demand the right to take over responsibility for the government of our country. We demand the right to be free to make mistakes and learn from our experience." Nnamdi Azikiwe, first president of independent Nigeria (1963 1966)

Scoring Notes: Do not use conflicts that occurred in the United States in your answer. 1. This thematic essay has a minimum of four components (one major cause of a conflict; one viewpoint of two opposing groups involved in the conflict; and the extent to which the conflict was or was not resolved). 2. The identified conflict should have threatened peace in a specific nation or region. 3. Identification of either the nation or region where peace has been threatened or the specific names of opposing groups is not required as long as the identification is implied in the discussion. 4. The viewpoints of the groups should be in opposition to each other. 5. As is the case with many historical topics, what constitutes the extent to which the conflict was or was not resolved is subject to the student s point of view. The response may discuss the extent of success from a variety of perspectives as long as the position taken is supported by accurate facts and examples. Score of 5: Thoroughly develops all aspects of the task evenly and in depth by discussing one major cause of a conflict that has threatened peace in a nation or region, discussing one viewpoint of each of two opposing groups, and discussing the extent to which the conflict was or was not resolved Is more analytical than descriptive (analyzes, evaluates, and/or creates information), e.g., Russian Revolution: connects the shift from almost unanimous agreement on the need to change the government to disagreement over support for the provisional government, which resulted in Lenin s and the Bolsheviks seizure of power in October 1917; discusses the civil war that continued from 1918 to 1921; Rwanda: connects the conflict to the colonial legacy when the Belgians favored Tutsis over the Hutus, thus promoting ethnic resentment and planting the seeds for the genocide; discusses the economic hardship and conflict as refugee camps spilled over into neighboring countries such as Zaire and promoted political instability there Richly supports the theme with relevant facts, examples, and details (Russian Revolution: Bloody Sunday; Russo-Japanese War; October Manifesto; Nicholas II; peasant discontent and land issue; industrialization and exploited working class; proletariat; Duma; Mensheviks; World War I; Kerensky; Peace, Land, and Bread ; Treaty of Brest-Litovsk; Rwanda: identity cards; 1994 plane crash that killed presidents of both Rwanda and Burundi; Kabila; Mobutu; September 1998 United Nations Tribunal that convicts first person in the world of genocide; United Nations 1999 report criticizing United Nations leaders for not intervening effectively in the genocide, 2003 constitution outlawing the inciting of ethnic violence ) Demonstrates a logical and clear plan of organization; includes an introduction and a conclusion that are beyond a restatement of the theme [3]
Score of 4: Develops all aspects of the task but may do so somewhat unevenly by discussing one aspect of the task less thoroughly than the other aspects Is both descriptive and analytical (applies, analyzes, evaluates, and/or creates information), e.g., Russian Revolution: connects the conflict between the upper and lower classes to the overthrow of the czar and establishment of a communist dictatorship; Rwanda: connects ethnic conflict that erupted to the European mandate system and Belgian control Supports the theme with relevant facts, examples, and details Demonstrates a logical and clear plan of organization; includes an introduction and a conclusion that are beyond a restatement of the theme Score of 3: Develops all aspects of the task with little depth or develops at least three aspects of the task in some depth Is more descriptive than analytical (applies, may analyze, and/or evaluate information) Includes some relevant facts, examples, and details; may include some minor inaccuracies Demonstrates a satisfactory plan of organization; includes an introduction and a conclusion that may be a restatement of the theme Examples of addressing at least three aspects of the task at Level 3 Holistic Scoring Reminder: These examples apply only to the evaluation of Bullet 1.
