changes in birthrates and death rates

Demographic Transition Theory

HIV/AIDS

new forms of urbanization growth in non-European cities nearly half of the world's population found in cities

deforestation loss of tropical rainforests rural populations dependent on international market

Impact of War

Global Event Impact in General

The World Wars Reduction of European influence outside of Europe (end of imperialism) Rise of power of the U.S.

Holocaust Increase in Zionism – would affect Middle East . Concept of “crimes against humanity”

The Cold War Globalization of diplomacy and conflict; Countries were either aligned with the “east” (Soviets -- Communism) or the “west” (U.S. -- capitalism)

Nuclear Weaponry Global balance of power achieved because each country recognized the other country had nuclear weapons and they would respond – if the Soviets dropped a bomb, the U.S. would be able to send just as many bombs to the Soviet Union and we would all be dead!

International Organizations Diplomacy at different levels Groups for different causes and issues League of Nations – world peace United Nations – world peace NATO – European and American alliance against Soviets European Union – economic and political unity of Europe NAFTA – economic free trade zone in North America ASEAN – free trade zone in South East Asia International Red Cross/Crescent – humanitarian Amnesty International – human rights Greenpeace – environmental Organization of African Unity (OAU) Central American Common Market – economic Nonaligned Movement – 110 developing nations who seek to cooperate on political, economic, and cultural issues.

East Asia Chinese leaders were excluded from having a voice at Paris Peace Conference. Japan got territory from China

Japan became an imperialist power. Korea and China attacked by Japan.

Japan didn't have to spend money on military, so was able to concentrate on new industrialization. Japan supplied U.S. during Korean and Vietnam conflicts.

Middle East division of Ottoman EmpireAttaturk/Modern Turkey Armenian Genocide Balfour Declaration Husain-McMahon Letters Lawrence of Arabia

creation of Israel as a nation-state importance of oil for industrialized countries and for OPEC nations

non-aligned movement: Nassser, Nehru, Sukarno importance of oil for industrialized countries and for OPEC nations

Latin America increased production during war led to recession afterwards as demand for agricultural and manufactured products decreased from Europe distrust between U.S.A. and Mexico because of Mexico's role in drawing U.S. into the war

increased production during war led to recession afterwards as demand for agricultural and manufactured products decreased from Europe concern about Vargas making Brazil part of the Axis led to increased aid from U.S. to Brazil

Compare new patterns of nationalism:

Examples Types of Authority Used: Effects of Nationalism

the interwar years

Italy: Mussolini Spain: Franco Germany: Hitler China: Chiang Kai-shek Japan: Tojo Brazil: Vargas

charismatic totalitarian state

quality of life improves for supporters imperialism -- invasions of others, e.g. Italy invades Ethiopia; Germany invades Poland; Japan invades Manchuria split between Socialists and Communists

decolonization Examples: South Asia: Pakistan, India, Bangladesh Africa: Nigeria, Ghana, Algeria, Kenya, Tunisia, Angola Middle East: Egypt, Israel Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Indonesia

Gandhi (charismatic): Salt March Nehru (rational-legal=elections) Nkrumah (charismatic, traditional) FLN (rational-legal) Mandela (charismatic, rational-legal) Ho Chi Minh (charismatic, rational-legal)

non-violence used to end British rule; independence in 1947: partition of India/Pakistan Independence of colonies in Africa Diem Bien Phu; French leave Indochina but conflict with U.S.A. happens in 1960s

new nationalisms in Eastern Europe and former Soviet Union

Gorbachev: Yeltsin: Poland: HungaryEast Berlin/Germany

traditional, charismatic then rational-legal when democratic elections are held in 1990s

break-up of Soviet Union, new nations new economic and political systems for nations in Eastern Europe

Compare impact of major global economic developments:

Effects in Core/Industrialized Countries

Effects in Periphery/Developing Countries

Great Depression 1930s-1940s

Question: What ultimately ended the Great Depression?

bank closures capital no longer available for investment so no new businesses fewer jobs By 1932, production drops 30% tariff barriers go up U.S. could no longer loan money to Europe – European economy has more problems

international trade drops off shortages in world markets nations become reluctant to depend on world trade

Technology automobiles - increased demand for oil, steel, electrical equipment, radios, television, computers, biomedical engineering

Dependency on manufactured goods from industrialized countries

Pacific Rim Japanese manufacturing overtakes West at first with cars and then with audio equipment; rust belt in U.S.A. Taiwan, Korea, Singapore -- Little Tigers China after 1980s becomes a textile and other light manufacturing goods exporter

As labor costs rose in industrialized and newly industrialized countries, factory jobs get shifted to less industrialized areas. Pacific Rim model for economic development.

Multinational corporations – think clothing, entertainment, oil,

car manufacturing, etc.

Globalization; wealth to capitalists; loss of jobs to cheaper labor markets

Globalization; more jobs, but many “unfair”; watching the west get “rich” off of the cheap labor they
