Communication Revolution The Modern Revolution Communication Revolution Democratic Politics Fossil Fuels Quite a package! But how did these changes get all bundled up together?

For starters, in Big Era Seven human population was increasing faster than ever before!

Not only was the human population growing, it was moving.

And humans dealt with this need by using fossil fuels. Watch! But a growing population meant that human need for resources—for energy—was growing, too. And humans dealt with this need by using fossil fuels. Watch!

The Fossil Fuel Revolution The biological old regime ends when vast new sources of energy come into use: Coal Electricity Gas Petroleum Nuclear

By taking energy from fossil fuels like coal instead of biomass like wood… Vaclav Smil, Energy in World History (Boulder CO: Westview Press, 1994), 162.

and with better and better steam engines to harness coal’s energy… Image: http://www.hw.ac.uk/mecWWW/watt.jpg

People could produce more efficiently. http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/history/core/pics/0253/img0053.jpg Power loom weaving Lancashire, 1835

In Britain coal mines were close to factories and cities In Britain coal mines were close to factories and cities. In China coal mines were far from factories and cities. How might history have been different if the closest sources of coal available to Britain were, say, in the Carpathian Mountains of southeastern Europe?

The Industrial Revolution allowed for new global economic relationships.

Old limits on how much energy people could use were gone! And in Big Era Seven people tore down other limits too…

And while that happened, people’s ideas about government changed, too! In Big Era Seven, government played a greater role than ever before in people’s lives.

Tom Paine argued for these ideas in Common Sense New political ideas: People should be free to choose their government. Government should protect people’s liberties. People should have equal rights. Encyclopedia Americana, v. 21 (1999) p. 204 Tom Paine argued for these ideas in Common Sense (1775)

A nation should be free to choose its government. New political ideas A nation should be free to choose its government. Government should protect people’s liberties. People should have equal rights. Sounds democratic!

People moved more quickly. Ideas moved more quickly.
