The Long Nineteenth Century (Era 6)
Economic
People began to work in factories and business offices where they would earn a wage for their work.
People spent this money on buying food from grocery stores or market sellers, or buying and consuming various goods that came from factories and farms.
People who were displaced by the evolution of machinery moved to cities where they worked in factories to make finished goods to sell to others.
Farms and Factories could produce far more goods and products thanks to new industrial machines and usage of fossil fuels.
Workers and Business owners became participants in the capitalist economic system that still dominates the world today.
Political
People increasingly believed they were citizens of a nation.
They also believed that the "nation" should have a state which is independent and governed somewhat democratically.
The Senegalese people increasingly came under the authoritarian rule of French imperialism
There was a rise of vast empires made up of lots of smaller states.
The inhabitants of one state were deemed the ruling class, and all the others became subjects of the empire.
Social
There was a shifting sense of what a community was, who is a member, and how it should be run.
Technological
Invention of telegraph (1844)
US transcontinental railroad complete (1869)
Invention of telephone, thus allowing people to communicate rapidly across vast distances (1876)
Invention of airplane (1903)
The industrial revolution: The most dramatic change in production and distribution in history.
Fossil fuels used as energy to put machines to work in factories and in farms.
Standardisation
Cultural
The empires rising during this time promoted inequalities which are still prevalent today as they led to modern categories like "race" and "ethnicity"
Inventions like the train, the steamship, the car, and the aeroplane allowed people to travel and visit other places as tourists, or even migrate to new nation-states
Inventions like the phone and telegraph allowed people across different communities and nation-states communicate rapidly.
The developments of the long nineteenth century encouraged communities across the world to adopt common practices or ways of doing things.
