Credit: “Causal Map: Revolutions”, OER Project, https://www.oerproject.com/1PurposeDeepen your understanding of the causes and effects of the Atlantic revolutionsby creatinga causal map. This will allow you to see that causation is rarely linear.Process1.Review your identified causes and effects from the Causation: Revolutionsactivity.2.Label the causal map on page 2. For each circle that’s a cause, write the letter “C” next to it. For consequences/effects, write the letter “E” next to those circles. (Hint: If you’re not sure, look back at your filled-out Causation Tool!)3.Now,fill in the empty cause and effect circles using the information from your tool. If you can, add even more effects by creatingnew effect circles.

The acronym ADEcan help you determine if historical events or processes—in this case the causes and consequences of revolutions—were significant.•Amount—Think about how manypeople were impacted by the cause/effect.•Depth—Think about how stronglypeople were impacted by the cause/effect.•Endurance—Think about how longthis cause/effect impacted people.Review your tool and/or map and pick one cause and one effect that you think are the most historically significant(useADEto help you). •What do you think is the most historically significant cause? Explain your response.•What do you think is the most historically significant consequence? Explain your response.
