Question 2
Industrialization was rapidly incorporated in the 19th century into a concept of progress.
What do you think 19th-century Europeans perceived as evidence of progress in their
society? In an essay consider this question, and as well discuss the main components of the
Industrial Revolution. Include in your essay an analysis of utopian socialism and
jingoism/xenophobia. In what role were the Asian hemisphere and the African continent to
participate in progress in the 19th century? What did the Congress of Vienna (1814/1815)
contribute, in your perspective, to the emerging concept of progress among European
nations and leader?
In the context of the progress made by the Industrial Revolution in in the lives of the 19 th
century European, it can be stated that it resulted in significant social changes. The onset of the
process of industrialization has resulted in the introduction of the process of urbanization among
the people as people moved to the urban areas in search of employment. The period also saw the
emergence of the middle class as the new element of the social strata who also enjoyed several
benefits of the new level of prosperity. The 19th century Europe has also witnessed the rise of
political unrest in the midst of urbanization and industrialization. This had a positive impact as it
raised the demand for improved benefits of social welfare, for increase in the educational
facilities, the rights of the labors and for promoting equality in the society (Evans and Rydén
2017).
The main components of the Industrial revolution can be studied through the analysis of
utopian socialism aspect and the factor of jingoism or the xenophobia factor. The Utopian
socialism was the modern aspect of socialism or the socialistic school of thought that can be
described as the presentation or the reflection of the different visions of the outlines for the future

of the ideal form of the societies with the positive ideals that are embedded that move the society
in a particular direction (Pankhurst 1913).The utopian socialism concept believes in the
cooperative form of socialism that will be established among the likeminded people to
demonstrate the idea of feasibility of industrial revolution for the society as a whole. The element
of jingoism and xenophobia was also a part of the change that Europe has gone through during
the 19th century. It is evident in the way in the redrawing of the boundaries within the territory of
the European Union and the increase in the level of restrictions on those nations that lie outside
the territory of the European Union that does not solely involved the internal policies of the
nations under the EU but also entails the effective process of the capitalistic form of
reconstruction and the process of globalization (Galloway 2019).
The participation of the Asian region and African continent in the 19th century
industrialization mainly took place owing to the western colonialism process. The continuous
spread of the industrialization process was more of a shift in the trade strategies of the trade
programs in the colonial form of the world. With the expansion over the years there was a need
of the increase in the demand of the different goods that are produced in the colonial areas
around the world (Wong 1977).
The Vienna Congress (1814-1815) was signed to provide the long term plans for peace
for Europe which will be possible by the settlement of the most critical issues that have arisen
from the Wars of French Revolution. The rise of leadership after the Vienna Congress was
mainly seen in the field of the restoration of the old boundaries and to accordingly resize the
main powers that can strike a perfect balance in order to enable the parties to work at peace
(Denza 2016).

Question 3
In an essay examine three primary sources that we handled in our discussions this term: 1)
Emmeline Pankhurst “Why We are Militant”; Moses Mendelssohn “What is
Enlightenment”, and Francis Palacky “History of the Czech Nation in Bohemia and
Moravia”, as you consider the following: What would you argue constitutes “effective
occupation” of political rights in 19th-century and very early 20th-century Europe?
Consider the Principle of Effective Occupation, as I described it in lecture as you conduct
your analysis in this essay. Is possessing a region or a territory the same as possessing
political rights? Why/ why not? What do you think Moses Mendelssohn would say to
Emmeline Pankhurst about her arguments for the right of women to participate in a
political destiny? How would the Czech experience of nationalism have intersected with
Mendelssohn’s notions of destiny?
The effective occupation of the political rights in the 19th and the 20th century can be
analyzed through the early expeditions of Europe in the concentrated form of the colonization
patterns that has previously inhabited the islands of Cape Verde and the Sao Tome Island for
establishing the different forms of the coastal efforts as the base that will be built up for trade
activities for supporting the Cape Route between the European and the Asian Countries. These
forts were often developed in those particular areas along the coastal strips that included the vast
geographical region of the interior Africa (Bismarck 1966).
The effective occupation practice of Europe was facilitated by the technological
developmental patterns that will facilitate the overseas expansionism patterns. The force of
industrialization has however introduced the rapid form of the advancements in the

transportation and the communication practices. The development of quinine in this period
enabled the vast expanse of the accessibility of the tropics by the Europeans.
According to me, the possession of any region or geographical territory gives the direct
access to the countries who have got access to the geographical territories. The access helps them
in exercising of the political rights by the colonial country. This was evident in the expansionist
concept of Europe and its way of capturing the other countries of the world. This automatically
paves the way for dependent countries which are for instance the Asian and the African countries
that have been colonized by Europe. The political entities will inhabit a different position that
will be guaranteed by the international treaty or other forms of the agreement that creates the
standards for the autonomy with the countries who colonize the other countries.
Moses Mendelssohn would say to Emmeline Pankhurst about her arguments for the right
of women to participate in a political destiny that the women stands at the context of ideas of
both within and outside cultural level of preoccupations in a particular era that will rise under the
influence of the global influence of feminism. The idea may lead to the contention of belief that
the women of the society could not be held accountable for their inclination or allegiance or the
separation of the concept of feminism that will include the amorphous definitions of the general
nature of women that will be increasingly considered as the widely accepted definition or
concept of feminism. Therefore it forms a crucial assertion of the concept of the experience of
the women in the context of their transitional phase or in the context of their political volatility
that will be considered in the midst of their careers ((Arkush 2012).
The concept of Czech nationalism has shown various similarities with the
Mendelssohn concept of destiny as Czech nationalism asserts that the Czechs will promote the

concept of the cultural unity among the Czechs. The Czech nationalism has encompassed the
concepts of the ethnic form of struggle among the middle class Jews in their significant level of
similarities. Despite these differences the people are shaped within the recognizable unit of their
cultural form of the universe (Holy and Holý 1996).
