When Johannes Gutenberg began building his press in 1436, he was unlikely to have realised that he was giving birth to an art form which would take center stage in the social and industrial revolutions which followed. He was German, his press was wooden, and the most important aspect of his invention was that it was the first form of printing to use movable type.

17. American Revolution
Causes of American Revolution:
Conflict was created regarding the settlement of colonial lands
Conflict increased due to taxation issues
Colonists wanted equal rights
Church taught that all men were created equal, that there is no divine right of kings and wicked law should not be obeyed.
Colonists wanted a say in their government
Enlightenment thinkers believed in a social contract that claimed the authority of the government should come from the people. If the government abuses its responsibility the people should rise up and overthrow their leaders.
“No Taxation Without Representation"

18. French Revolution
In France people had more rights than other European nations.
The monarchy lived rich lavish lifestyles.
The peasants were burdened with high taxes.

19. French Revolution
The ideals of the American Revolution inspired calls for “Liberty, equality, and fraternity” in France. France’s support for the war deepened its national debt and caused suffering among its people. In 1789, France’s monarchy was overthrown. This painting shows a violent clash between French commoners and King Louis XVI’s troops during the French Revolution.

20. French Revolution
Mob violence played a central role in the French Revolution. Ordinary people in both Paris and the French countryside took up arms (fought) either for or against the revolution.

21. The Impact of the American Revolution
The American Revolution had a major impact in other parts of the world. In Europe, it thrilled liberals who dreamed of creating their own democracies. The American example was especially influential in France, which soon had its own revolution. As one Frenchman wrote, “They [Americans] are the hope of the human race; they may well become its model.” Indeed, in the 1800s, that model would help inspire revolts against European rule in South America.
