Global Studies 10
Unit I- Absolutism in Europe and Asia
Purpose: Global 10 focuses on world history from the 1500’s to modern times. The
events, people and beliefs which occurred at this time period has shaped the way you
live today and how you will live in the future. Four main historical themes which
significantly influenced this time period as well as help historians understand the past,
present and future are; revolutionary ideas, individuals, nationalism and conflict.
Specifically, it is the role of leaders and the interaction of different cultures which
helped to shape revolutionary events which positively or negatively changed the way
people lived. To help get a better understanding of Global 10, your first unit will look at
the form of government known as absolutism. This is a method of leadership and state-
building in which a region or nation is under control of one or two rulers who in some
cases believe they have been blessed by God to rule. These individuals have the
authority to make policies which impact the political, cultural and economic well being of the nations and
regions he or she governs. Absolutism allowed for the establishment of powerful nations and empires like the
Ottoman Empire, Great Britain, Russia and France. Absolutism is also the reason for the development of radical
government, economic and cultural structures which will appear throughout the 18th-21
st centuries. By analyzing
case studies of absolutism and comparing the styles of different leaders and the impact of those styles, one can
see different styles of absolute rule, one which leads to triumph for a nation or region and one which leads to the
decline of a nation or region. By looking at these styles you can see patterns in the way people lead and make
predictions as to how these leaders will shape your history.
Part I- What you should know by the end of the unit.
Directions: By the end of the end you should be able to answer the following questions. You will
gather information to answer these questions by completing your homework using the book Modern
World History; Patterns of Interaction. While you read you will need to be generating the definitions for key vocabulary words as well as answering focus questions. Both of these are found in this packet. You will also
gather information by the in-class activities. Your homework will be reviewed and new information will be
shared in class.
1- Who are the absolute rulers for Spain, France, Russia, England, Ottoman Empire, and the
Mughals?
2- What impact did these absolute rulers have nationally and globally? When finding information
to explain this question look at how the absolute ruler helped or hurt the culture, politics, social
structure, or economics of his or her country.
3- Compare absolutism in Europe with non-European countries. What are the common traits or
patterns of absolute rulers between these regions? For example how did they come to power?
How did they keep their power and what do they do with their power?
4
Part II- Advice for the Absolutes Purpose: Though absolutism faded out of existence, there are still rulers today
who have the power of an absolute ruler. There actions significantly impact the lives of the people in their nations but also the rest of the world. During the
Renaissance, absolute rulers sought out advice on how to rule and maintain
power. Niccolo Machiavelli wrote the book The Prince as a guide for leadership
during the Renaissance. Machiavelli examined the history of the Romans and other civilizations to determine the patterns of effective and ineffective
leadership. Machiavelli tended to side with the idea that it was better to be
“feared than loved”, “to keep your friends close but your enemies closer” and “the end justifies the means”. For some absolute rulers, the advice worked and
for others it didn’t. The “absolute rulers” today could use some advice since
many of them are making mistakes the early absolute rulers are making.
Directions: Your assignment is to create a “part II” for The Prince but address your advice to modern day
leaders. You will pick one modern day leader and learn about some of their policies and actions towards their
people and other nations. Based on that information you will generate a written response providing advice to this leader based on the policies and actions of the absolute rulers we study in class.
In addition to the written response, you will be sharing out to the class a summary of your written response. At the end of your summary, be prepared to answer any questions from students or Mr. Fiege about your advice.
Modern day leaders to choose from:
• Iran- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad • Venezuela- Hugo Chavez (extra credit will be given if additional information is found about Chavez)
Grading Guidelines:
An “A” looks like: -Two pages, typed (double spaced) with no grammatical or spelling errors.
-First paragraph provides a summary of the modern day leader’s policies and actions.
-Second paragraph provides five comparisons between the modern day leader and three absolute monarchs.
-Third paragraph provides a summary of what happened to the absolute monarchs, their nation and other societies as a result of their leadership.
-Fourth paragraph provides your advice to the modern day leader, incorporating appropriate historical evidence
from the absolute monarchs.
Written responses with less information will be graded accordingly.
The in-class presentation should be between 3-5 minutes. After five minutes, you will be cut off. You will be
graded on eye contact, voice level, attempts to engage the audience and your ability to answer the questions
asked of you.

Biographical Information on the Modern “Absolute Rulers”
Iran- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Early
Years
Political leader. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was born Mahmoud Saborjhian on October 28, 1956, in the village of Aradan, near Garmsar, in north-central Iran, 82 miles southeast of Tehran. Mahmoud was the fourth of seven children whose father was a blacksmith. In 1957, the family moved from Aradan to the Narmak district of Tehran in search of better economic conditions. During this time, his father, Ahmad, changed the family name from Saborjhian (which translates to "thread painter," the lowliest job in Iran's traditional carpet-weaving industry), to the more religious Ahmadinejad ("race of Muhammad" or "virtuous race"). Mahmoud Ahmadinejad grew up in an Iran dominated by Western influence. Three years before he was born, the U.S. CIA aided in a coup to install the pro-Western Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi as head of state. Many Iranians, led by the country's Islamic clerics, resented the Western incursion into Iran's politics. Ahmadinejad held no interest in politics as a young boy. It wasn't until he attended Iran University that Ahmadinejad became politically active. Though the Shah's regime repressed all political activism and descent, Ahmadinejad secretly produced and distributed an anti-Shah propaganda magazine called Jiq va Dad (Scream and Shout). He joined the Islamic Association of Students in the Science and Technology University, a faction of the Office for Strengthening Unity between Universities and Theological Seminaries.
Beliefs
and
actions as
a political
leader
In 2003, Ahmadinejad was appointed mayor of Tehran by the city council. He was little known outside of Iran at this time, but his charisma and political skills became quickly evident. As mayor, Ahmadinejad began repealing reforms put in effect by the moderates, and imposed new cultural restrictions favored by the mullahs—Iran's religious leadership—including the closing of Western fast-food restaurants and the covering of billboards with Western references. He advocated gender-segregated elevators in municipal buildings and turned many of the cultural centers into prayer halls during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. He also ordered all male city employees to have beards and wear long sleeves. In 2005, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ran for president of Iran with the full support of conservative leaders. Populist in his approach, Ahmadinejad promised to address the poverty and social injustices in Iran, and to work to end corruption. He campaigned on the slogan, "We can do it," and was the only presidential candidate to speak out against improving relations with the United States. Ahmadinejad won the election by a landslide, collecting 17 million of the 27 million votes cast.
Whether a masterful politico or an honest broker, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad developed a strong bond with Tehran's deeply religious working class. Ahmadinejad wanted to continue to live in his own house after being elected president, until security advisors forced him to move. He took out the expensive furniture and rugs in the presidential palace and replaced them with less expensive furnishings. He refused the VIP seat on the presidential plane and eventually replaced it with a cargo plane. He also spoke in blue-collar colloquialisms in his speeches and presentations. While Tehran's political elite ridiculed him for his mannerisms, the behavior played well with many Iranians, who saw their president as "one of them."
After his presidential win, Ahmadinejad became an imposing international figure. His hard-line stance on Iran's right to develop nuclear power heightened tensions with the U.S. In a September 2005 speech before the United Nations, Ahmadinejad professed his desire to pursue Iran's

nuclear technology program, which he claimed was for peaceful purposes. At the same time, he condemned the United States for not only proliferating weapons of mass destruction, but also sowing a "climate of intimidation and injustice." He issued a veiled threat that "if some try to impose their will on the Iranian people...we will reconsider our entire approach to the nuclear issue." From May 2006 to March 2007, the United Nations Security Council passed a series of resolutions requiring Iran to terminate its nuclear enrichment programs. It imposed sanctions on nuclear material and technology entering Iran, and also placed further restrictions on imports and exports with the exception of development and humanitarian aid. The Iranian leader remained defiant.
Ahmadinejad also fanned the flames of confrontation with his anti-Israeli rhetoric in public speeches. In addition to questioning the realities of the Holocaust, the Iranian leader showed his distaste toward Israel in October 2005, at the World Without Zionism Conference in Tehran. He spoke of an epic battle between Islam and the "World of Ignorance," a West led by Israel and the Zionist movement. Following the conference, he was also quoted as saying that Israel should be "wiped off the map." Ahmadinejad stated in a news conference on January 14, 2006, that the meaning of his statements had been exaggerated and misinterpreted.
Problems
to Solve
Ahmadinejad was less successful in fulfilling many of his economic campaign promises. Despite possessing the world's 4th largest oil reserves, Ahmadinejad was unable to stop the squandering of Iran's oil profits. Iran had to import gasoline in 2007, as it did not possess the capabilities to refine enough crude oil to meet domestic demand. Although sources disagree, Iran's unemployment rate seemed to rise only slightly during Ahmadinejad's tenure in office. However, many claim that this was accomplished by implementing highly inflationary public programs and subsidies. Ahmadinejad was also unable to address the crushing increase in inflation, which was estimated to be between 20 and 30 percent.
All these issues—the sagging economy as well as the political crackdowns—came to a head during the June 2009 presidential elections. Iran's crippling inflation rate, high unemployment, and the question of how its oil revenue was being spent were at the top of Iranian voters' minds. Three candidates surfaced to challenge Ahmadinejad: Mir-Hossein Mousavi, a pro-reform candidate, Mohsen Rezaee, a conservative, and Mehdi Karroubi, a career politician and reformist cleric. On June 12, 2009, Iranian citizens turned out in record numbers with 85 percent of Iran's 46 million voters casting their ballots. The next morning the Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran's official news service, announced that with two-thirds of the votes counted, Ahmadinejad had won the election. At first, the protests were very large and generally peaceful. But the government remained steadfast in its insistence of Ahmadinejad's victory. On June 15, a crowd of somewhere between 100,000 and 3 million protestors jammed the streets of Tehran to see opposition candidate Mousavi make his first post-election appearance. As the government increased its crackdown on civil disobedience, Ahmadinejad tried to reassure the Iranian media that the protesters were inconsequential, comparing the lively demonstrations to the exuberance of a soccer game. But as the protests moved into their second week, cell phone and digital cameras recorded the unprecedented demonstrations and leaked them to the world. On June 20, 2009, citizen journalism captured the on-camera slaying of Neda Agha-Soltan, a young college graduate who went with a friend to paricipate in one of the protests. When she stepped out of her car, she was struck in the chest with a single bullet which pierced her heart, killing her. The images of Neda's death traveled to hundreds and then thousands of cell phones, and computers sent the story to millions of viewers. Her death became a symbol of Iranian government oppression

Venezuela- Hugo Chavez Early
Years
Politician, president of Venezuela. Born Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías on July 28,
1954, in Sabaneta, Venezuela. The son of schoolteachers, he is known for his
reform efforts and his strong opinions. Chávez attended the Venezuelan military
academy and graduated in 1975 with a degree in military sciences and arts. He
went on to serve as an officer in an army paratrooper unit.
In 1992, Chávez, along with other disenchanted members of the military,
attempted to overthrow the government of Carlos Andrés Peréz. The coup failed
and Chávez spent two years in prison before being pardoned. He then started
the Movement of the Fifth Republic, a revolutionary political party
Beliefs
and
actions as
a political
leader
Chávez ran for president in 1998, campaigning against government corruption and promising economic
reforms. After taking office in 1999, Chávez set out to change the Venezuelan constitution, changing the
powers of congress and the judicial system. As a part of the new constitution, the name of the country was
changed to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Throughout his presidency, Chávez has been outspoken, refusing to hold back on any of his opinions or his
criticisms. He has insulted oil executives, church officials, and other world leaders. He has particular
hostility for the United States, which he believes was responsible for the failed 2002 coup against him.
Chávez also objected to the war in Iraq and thinks that the United States has abused its powers. He
considers President George W. Bush to be an evil imperialist.
Relations between the United States and Venezuela have been strained for some time. Since taking office,
Chávez has sold oil to Cuba—a longtime adversary of the United States—and resisted U.S. plans to stop
narcotics trafficking in nearby Colombia. He also helped guerrilla forces in neighboring countries. Over the
years, Chávez has threatened to stop supplying oil to the United States if there is another attempt to
remove him from power. He did, however, donate heating oil to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina and
Hurricane Rita, which destroyed numerous fuel processing facilities.
No matter the state of Venezuela's relationship with the United States, Chávez has leveraged his country's
oil resources to form connections to other nations, such as China and Angola. In 2006 he helped create the
Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, a socialist free-trade organization. Fidel Castro, president of Cuba,
and Evo Morales, president of Bolivia. Chávez is also an active member of the Non-Aligned Movement, a
group of more than 100 countries, including Cuba, Iran, and several African nations.
Problems
to Solve
As president, Chávez has encountered some challenges both at home and aboard. His efforts to tighten his
hold on the state-run oil company in 2002 stirred up controversy and led to numerous protests. Chávez
found himself removed from power briefly in April 2002 by military leaders. The protests continued after his
return to power and led to a referendum on whether Chávez should remain as president. The referendum
vote was held in August 2004 and a majority of the voters decided to let Chavez complete his term in office.
