Events

Three main tendencies marked this century

This century knew a demographic explosion; one speaks about demographic revolution.

Europe

One can say that the century is the century of Europe.

  • After the wars of the French revolution 1792 - 1799, then the wars of the Napoleonean epopee 1799 - 1815, the Europe knew many other wars which drew its new geopolitical chart, with:

    • the collapse of the old empires Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Othoman Austro-Hungarian and .
    • the emergence of the new empires British, French and German.
    • the construction of the Italian Unit and release of the provinces ic Balkan.
    • the emergence of national consciences and very powerful patriotic feelings.

  • It is also for Europe, the century of the second Industrial revolution, which will upset the European landscape, and to bring immense richnesses, but also:

    • to break the old social structures, built around the farming community, of the Churches and the nobility,
    • to support the emergence of a very important proletarian class, which will be worked by all the theorists Socialiste S and all the revolutionists,
    • to support the emergence of a very powerful Bourgeoisie of industry and trade, which will end up imposing its values.
  • It is also for Europe, the century when, from the power of its industry and its trade, from the faith of its missionaries, the dynamism of its explorers and its adventurers, and especially from the force of its armies, its merchant marine and her drain-holes, it will start the Colonisation of Africa and Asia, and will export throughout the world its values and its civilization.

  • It is also for Europe, the century when its intellectual elites will transform it, in an immense cauldron, in which all the ideas all and will bubble the Art S. Its scientists, its artists, its intellectuals, will carry technological research, the scientific research, artistic research, the research of the ideas, on a level ever reached before.

Africa

  • Reactions of a true army Zarma against the Peul, in the middle of the century under the control of Iso Korombe. The victory over Peuls will put an end to the invasions Djihadiste of Sokoto in the Zarmatarey.
For Africa, the century is the century of the European Colonisation, the tender and the end of the old geopolitical structures. Europe deeply will upset this continent.

See the Africa with the {{mini XIXe}} century.

Asia

As for the Africa, the century is the century of European colonization, but with the difference close the old geopolitical structures will resist and remain in the large majority of the cases. The European colonizers in general will prefer to preserve them and try, while controlling them, to be made allies of them.

Latin America

With the weakening and the withdrawal of Spain and Portugal of the European scene as major nations, the tercentenary bonds that they had with their American colonies, also break the ones after the others, and from many new countries will make their appearance on the international scene, throughout this century.

Mexico

North America

In spite of a hard construction, and starting from the 13 small States of the east coast, the the United States little by little will appear on the international scene. The American century will be marked by:

  • the acquisition of the immense territories of the Louisiana, sold by the France (1/4 of the current American territory).
  • the American Civil War and its hundreds of thousands of deaths.
  • wars of conquest of the Indian and Mexican territories in the north of the Río Large.
  • the reception of a very important population of immigration coming from all Europe and even of Asia, lends to be invested, with all its dynamism and all its capacities in this new country, where all seems possible.
  • the increase in an important population of slaves coming from Africa: it is the continuation of the Traite blacks in spite of its official abolition in 1807.
  • the discovery on the American ground of immense mining resources (the Gold rush), natural, and agricultural, and their introduction.
The United States will approach the 20th century completely transfigured, compared to what they were in 1800. They are certainly not yet, and by far, most powerful of the countries, but it is that which has the potential of the highest development.
