Geography – Era 6 Mapping Part 2
STUDENT MATERIALSSTUDENT MATERIALSS-1GEOGRAPHY – ERA 6 MAPPING PART 2 WORLD HISTORY PROJECT / LESSON 6.4 ACTIVITYPreparation• Access following maps: • 1750 Political Map• Empires, Enslavement, and Revolutions Thematic MapPurposeThis activity will help you to pull together some of your ideas for responding to the Era Problem: What were the engines of change that created our “modern” world? You will look back on what you have learned during this era by exploring the geography of revolution. You’re also going to review your predictions about revolutions during the long nineteenth century. Finally, you’ll be able to look at other revolutions, and discuss what patterns might connect them!ProcessThis activity begins with an identification opening in which you will identify 13 revolutions and rebellions. Next, you will revisit your predictions about where revolutions would happen from Part 1 of this geography activity, which you completed at the beginning of the era. Finally, you will look for additional patterns in the location of revolutions and rebellions around the world. Step 1Individually, identify the revolutions associated with the numbers on the black-and-white maps of Afro-Eurasia and the Americas and record your answers on the worksheet. You will likely complete this part of the activity without referencing outside sources or the rest of the maps in this activity, or your teacher might provide you with access to the Empires, Enslavement, and Revolutions Thematic Map at this stage.Step 2Review the Empires, Enslavement, and Revolutions Thematic Map and correct your identifications. Next, examine the map more closely. You will compare this map with the predictions you made at the beginning of the era. Were you correct at guessing where revolutions would take place?Step 3Remaining in small groups, you will answer three questions, and write a short paragraph or bullet list in response to the prompt below. Be prepared to share your answers with the class:What kinds of geographic and political patterns contributed to the spread of revolutions around the world? What other factors have you learned about that were important, but that are not shown on this map?

Step 3Directions: Examine the Empires, Enslavement, and Revolutions Thematic Map and answer the questions that follow.1. Look at the two categories of points on the map labelled “Atlantic revolutions” and “Other major revolt”. Were these two categories of revolutions and revolts more likely to occur in empires, or in other kinds of states?

Does this pattern support or challenge the assertion that revolutions in one location were likely to trigger revolutions in neighboring areas?3. Look at the points of the map labelled “Major slave uprisings”. In general, what factors shown on the map explain the distribution and pattern of these kinds of revolutions or attempted revolutions?Finally, in small groups, write a short paragraph or bullet list in response to this prompt:What kinds of geographic and political patterns contributed to the spread of revolutions around the world? What other factors have you learned about that were important, but that are not shown on this map?
