Imperialism, war and revolution
THE GREAT POWERS IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY
LIBERALISM AND AUTHORITARIANISM IN EUROPE
Political systems varied across Europe.
Countries with Authoritarian Political Systems
Governed by monarchies and counted with parliaments, who couldn't oppose to king's absolute power.
Military presence in everyday life.
Ethnic and cultural diversity.
Little rights for population.
Countries with Liberal Political Systems
Strenghtened separation of powers.
New rights recognised.
Male universal suffrage was achieved.
Socialist parties started to be represented in Parliament.
RUSSIAN AUTOCRACY
Tsar (emperor) had all power and was the highest religious authority.
Any sign of opposition was automatically repressed.
1861: Alexander II decreed the ''Emancipation of serfs''
This gave them more freedom, but didn't improve their economic situation.
There was ethnic diversity.
Policy of Russianisation: imposition of Russian language and culture to foreigners.
UNITED STATES: BIRTH OF A NEW POWER
In the 19th century, there was a great territorial expansion in the US.
New territories colonised by white settlers, which led to conflict with natives.
The few surviving natives were confined in reservations.
While southern states were in favor of slavery, northern ones had abolished it.
Lincoln was made president in 1860
11 southern states seceded and made into a confederacy.
These states were considered rebellious, which led to the American Civil War (1861-1865)
The northern states won, abolishing slavery in the whole country.
Black people won some rights, and southern states applied a policy of racial segregation.
MEIJI ERA IN JAPAN
1867-1914: Japan went from being a feudal, traditional country to being an industrialised and westernised one.
1867: Emperor recovered power from feudal lords, and the Meiji Era started.
Economy and social aspects were all westernised.
Trade agreements were reached with US and Europe.
THE RISE OF IMPERIALISM
WHAT IS IMPERIALISM?

This began to be applied worldwide in the 19th century.
Some countries, like Spain or Portugal, were already Colonial Powers in the Early Modern Period.
In 1870 there was a new phase of expansion of imperialism.
By 1800, 35% of land was controlled by Europe and US.
By 1914, an 84% was controlled by them.

In Spheres of influence, independent countries were forced to give trade advantages to colonial powers.
