Geography – Unit 6 Mapping Part 1
STUDENT MATERIALSSTUDENT MATERIALSS-1GEOGRAPHY – UNIT 6 MAPPING PART 1WORLD HISTORY PROJECT 1200 / LESSON 6.0 ACTIVITYPreparation•Access the following maps:•1871 Blank Map•1871 Political MapPurposeEmpires are nothing new—they’ve been around in one form or another for thousands of years. Yet, in the long nineteenth century, new forms and methods of empire emerged. In this unit, you’ll explore the ideas behind the ideology of imperialism and the practices of colonialism (and learn how to tell the difference between the two terms!). From 1750 to 1914, the nature of empire transformed as the most powerful empires in the world industrialized. In this mapping exercise you will identify some of the most powerful states practicing this “new imperialism” and make some predictions about how things will change by the end of the long nineteenth century. ProcessYou’ll begin this activity by identifying several empires in the world of 1871 CE. You will locate these communities on a blank map and then make some guesses and predictions about how they will change by the end of the long nineteenth century. Step 1Remember, this activity is intended to introduce you to geography in this unit. You aren’t expected to have all the answers. With your teacher, brainstorm some of the ways that the Industrial Revolution changed empires in the long nineteenth century. What empires benefited the most? Which communities suffered the most? What advantages did the new industrial empires have over their adversaries? Step 2In small groups, select three empires from this list on the worksheet. You should then label and shade (in different colors) the territory of each of the three empires on the 1871 Blank Map. Step 3Examine the 1871 Blank Map that you just labelled. Select two of the three empires you identified and make a prediction, on your 1871 Blank Map, about how those empires will change between 1871 and 1914.

Try to describe some of the ways that the Industrial Revolution changed empires in the long nineteenth century. You may not know all of the reasons, and that’s okay! Remember this is just a brainstorming session.Step 2Directions: Choose three of the empires listed below. Label each on the map and shade in with a different color or pattern. Use the 1871 Political Map to locate the territory held by each empire.Empires in 1871 (choose three, label, and shade in their territory on the map):1.British Empire2.Ottoman Empire3.French Empire4.German Empire5.Portuguese Empire6.Spanish Empire7.Dutch Empire8.United States Empire
