Focus Question
How did revolution affect the structure and development of nations?

Possible Concentration
Political revolutions offered the world the potent ideas of popular sovereignty, inalienable rights, and nationalism. The writings of philosophers that supported these ideals were distributed widely and fueled the American, French, and Haitian revolutions. Democracy and nationalism were powerful ideals that increased the power of the people in European countries. The availability of labor in cities allowed for a favorable combination of factors needed for the Industrial Revolution: natural resources, labor, and capital. The development of machines that harnessed energy made production more efficient and it reduced the cost of goods. The demand for raw materials increased industrial nations' dependency on the colonial system. The military strength of a country often determined its economic and political status as a nation. There was a close relationship between military might and the ability to maintain a colony.
