Image Source - Enlightenment to Leads to Revolution
Standard
HS.H3.1: Analyze how societies, leaders, institutions, and organizations respond to societal needs and changes.
Learning Target
I can explain multiple causes of conflict and evaluate the outcomes of various revolutions throughout the c.1600s-c.1800s.
Background
During the late 17th and 18th century in Europe, well-educated people known as philosophes, or philosophers, met in French salons and English drawing room to discuss political, economic, social and religious questions. The cutting-edge discussions helped shape the capitalistic, democratic world in which we live today. Because this period was a time of high intellect and bright new ideas, historians have called it the Age of Enlightenment or the Age of Reason.
