Social Studies World History - Unit IX Overview

The Rise of the 19th Century "ISMS":  Nationalism, Industrialism, & Imperialism

World History Nationalism: Chapter 19 (sections 2 & 3), Chapter 20 (section 3), Chapter 21 (section 4); Industrialism, Chapter 19 (sections 1 & 4), Chapter 20, (sections 1&2); Imperialism, Chapters 21 & 22.


Inspired by the ideals of the American and French revolutions nationalism emerges as a driving force behind revolutions in Europe and Latin America. National unification spurs industrial growth, which leads to a modern urban society. In response to industrialism, capitalism, socialism, and communism emerge as competing economic systems. Colonial acquisitions supply newly industrialized nations with essential natural resources thus creating the political, economic, and cultural dominance of imperialism.

NOTE: Nationalism can be taught in conjunction with the French Revolution, as an effect of Napoleon's influence on revolutions in Europe and the Americas.

  • How did industrialization impact economic and social systems?
