Explanation:

the period from 1750 to 1914 was a pivotal moment in human history. Historians

have named it the era of the “modern revolution.” Over the course of Big Era

Seven, change in human society became “autocatalytic.” Scientists use this term to

describe a chemical process, but it is also a useful historical concept. A catalyst is a

person or thing that precipitates a change. Autocatalysis occurs when one kind of change

precipitates by itself the need for other kinds of changes. Since about 1750, a steadily

pyramiding sequence of changes has transformed human life. Moreover, the dynamic

interactions among changes in many di)erent areas—political, economic, technological,

cultural, environmental—have, by the very process of interaction, generated the need

for even more changes. Once autocatalytic processes got going, they tended to speed up.

Overall, global changes have become self-perpetuating and ever-accelerating.

*e modern revolution involved numerous interacting developments. Six interrelated

factors were particularly important:

First, a revolutionary transformation occurred in human use of energy. Until the

nineteenth century, the energy basis of human society had been biomass energy, mainly

the burning of wood to produce heat, plus human and animal muscle power. With Big Era

Seven, the world entered the age of coal and steam power. *e fossil fuel era had begun,

and this is the era we still live in today. By the early nineteenth century, the harnessing of

steam power enabled humans to vastly multiply the energy generated from burning coal,

thereby greatly expanding the amount of energy available to humans per capita, that is,

to each individual. By 1914, petroleum, a second major fossil fuel, began to be extensively

used as well. Natural gas is the third important fossil fuel.

Second, unprecedented global population growth accompanied the fossil fuel revolution.

In Big Era Seven the world’s population more than doubled, de/nitively piercing the

previous limits on growth. In 1800, the global population stood at around 900 million, by

itself a huge leap from the start of the previous era. By 1914, it stood at around 1.75 billion

people. *e great increase in human numbers is a sign that major changes were at work.

*ird, an industrial transformation got under way. In the Industrial Revolution,

humans—western Europeans at /rst—learned to exploit coal and steam energy

to mass produce goods with machines and to sell them worldwide. *e Industrial

Revolution began with production of textiles and eventually spread to other areas of

manufacturing, as well as to farming and food processing. In the later nineteenth century,

industrialization occurred on a large scale in metallurgical, chemical, and electrical

industries. Once begun, it could not be stopped. *e Industrial Revolution greatly

altered the distribution of wealth and poverty around the world and also engendered new

attitudes towards nature and society.

Fourth, a revolution took place in communications and transport. Unprecedented

numbers of people in this era took advantage of steamships and railroads to migrate

long distances within continental spaces as well as across oceans. European migrants

were especially attracted to areas such as North America and the southern cone of South

America where the climate was reasonably

familiar. Asian migrants, especially South Asians

and Chinese, settled in many parts of the tropical

world as well as in the Americas.

Fifth, the modern revolution was partly a

democratic revolution. Popular revolutionary

movements of the late eighteenth and early

nineteenth centuries dramatically reshaped ideas

about government and political power. While

these movements were initially centered on

countries around the rim of the Atlantic, their

ideas proved contagious, provoking movements

for the abolition of slavery, representative

government, constitutions, universal su)rage,

workers’ rights, gender equality, and national self-determination, /rst in Europe and the

Americas, later all across Afroeurasia.

Finally, the era witnessed the rise of new colonial empires. Using new technologies

of warfare and political control that came out of the Industrial Revolution, the empires

of several European states greatly increased in size during this era. *e United States,

Russia, and Japan also drew on these new capabilities to expand their own empires.

All of the imperial states adopted elaborate racial justi/cations for dominance over

other peoples.
