Overview The making of the Modern World and Australia

The Stage 5 curriculum provides a study of the history of the making of the modern world from 1750 to 1945. It was a

period of industrialisation and rapid change in the ways people lived, worked and thought. It was an era of nationalism

and imperialism, and the colonisation of Australia was part of the expansion of European power. The period culminated in

World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945).

Stage 5

Overview

Historical

content

The Industrial Revolution, developing first in eighteenth century Britain gave rise to economic changes that have had an

enormous impact on society. An obvious result was urbanisation but the Industrial Revolution also contributed to other

popular movements such as the slave trade, emigration and convict transportation. The Industrial Revolution also

encouraged European nationalism and imperialism. While the Industrial Revolution created wealth for some and support

for capitalism, it also created a new class of urban workers who were forced to endure poor living and working conditions.

The resulting social discontent created support for new political ideas such as socialism. At the end of this period a building

of tensions among Europe’s great powers contributed to the outbreak of World War I, the first global war.

Students briefly outline:

The nature and significance of the Industrial Revolution and how it affected living and working conditions, including

within Australia

The nature and extent of the movement of peoples in the period (slaves, convicts and settlers)

The emergence and nature of significant economic, social, and political ideas in the period including nationalism

The inter-war years between World War I and World War II including the Treaty of Versailles, the Roaring Twenties

and the Great Depression
