  1. This dude has been extremely helpful with me keeping up in history class, and I just wanted to extend a thank you, since I dont really think I'd be doing this well without such a good explanation of world history when I need it.

  2. notes (used existing notes and watched the video):

    Economies have been globalized because of the Industrial Revolution, either through imperialism, or through innovations people migrated to cities for work.

    – Migration through labor systems:

    ○ During this time, Industrial factories only got hungrier and hungrier for raw materials

    ○ Abolition of Slavery:

    § The abolition of slavery which let go of a major work force and needed replacement

    ○ laborers worked as indentured servants, contract laborers or within a penal colony

    § Also during this time, people were migrating to these workplaces

    ○ Chinese people to California

    ○ Natives to the American colonies

    ○ Japanese laborers migrated to Hawaii

    ○ Peru and Cuba to work on sugar plantations.

    ○ Factories started using indentured servants instead of slaves, workers that migrated became indentured servants

    § Worked for a number of years and then go free

    § Many stayed in these countries even after their indenture was complete

    § Examples being Indians who migrated to Trinidad, Fiji, and Mauritius.

    – Contract labor:

    ○ when British abolished slave trade in 1806, their first attempt at a replacement was to bring in Chinese and Indian workers who would agree to work for very low wages.

    ▪ Did the work of former slaves

    ▪ Signed bad contracts, form of coerced labor

    ▪ In 1877, many countries passed laws to improve the treatment of Indian and Chinese workers

    ○ Penal Colony: Is where they send their convicts, convicts did work too

    § Devil’s island in French Guinea was an example of this

    ○ Prisoners were underfed and forced into hard labor, generally existed in misery

    – Migration in the face of challenges:

    ○ Many people migrated because of home situations

    ○ A lot of Chinese people made up a diaspora during this time on the west coast

    § Diaspora: A scattered population whose origin lies in a different geographic location

    ○ India: During this time, there was lots of poverty in India, which led to some mass migrations around the world

    § British offered Indentured Servitude, and other colonies started asking as well, similar to Indenture

    § Most of these folks signed five year agreements to work, and while some returned home, others stayed in their places

    ○ China, accepted Indentured Servitude as well, because of poverty and famine,

    § huge numbers of Indian and Chinese people went over to America, where the helped complete the trans-continental railroad

    ○ Ireland, where Irish folks immigrated for political reasons

    § 1801, Ireland became part of the United Kingdom: after the English government abolished the Irish government.

    § Most people also migrated because of their hunger. In 1845 the potato famine started.

    § Irish going mainly to the US after the potato famine.

    ○ MIGRATIONS OFTEN FORMED DIASPORAS

    – Establishment of Settler colonies:

    ○ These are the colonies, where people can actually settle.

    ○ Establishment of Settler colonies by the British

    § Examples: Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand

    ○ Large parts of the people who were migrating to these places were geologists and engineers

    ○ These people were moving so they could expand industrialization in that area

    § So much moved that they formed an engineer’s diaspora

    ○ Japan utilized settler colonies in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain Mexico and Hawaii.

    Return of migrants:

    • Japanese agricultural workers in the Pacific

    • Lebanese merchants in the Americas

    • Italian industrial workers in Argentina
