In this AP World History video, we introduce Unit 6: Consequences of Industrialization (c. 1750–1900) and explain why this period reshaped global power, inequality, and resistance.
You will learn:
How industrialization intensified imperialism and global competition
Why industrial states expanded empires to secure raw materials and markets
How ideologies like Social Darwinism justified domination
How people around the world resisted industrial and imperial pressure
Why Unit 6 builds directly on Unit 5 but shifts the focus to consequences
This introduction connects directly to AP World History themes, including Governance, Economic Systems, Technology and Innovation, Social Interactions and Organization, and Environmental Impacts, while reinforcing key historical reasoning skills such as causation, comparison, and continuity and change over time.
