Think As Historian: THINK AS A HISTORIAN: IDENTIfY DIffERING PATTERNS Of INDUSTRIALIZATION

As historians make connections between cultures and eras, they look for not only consistent patterns but also for divergent ones. For instance, the pattern in France and Germany was consistent: these countries realized their need to follow Britain’s charge towards industrializing production in order to strengthen their economic presence. This trend towards industrializing reveals their interest in gaining a global economic presence, perhaps even economic dominance. The states you read about in this topic, however, did not follow that pattern.

Review the information in this topic and identify a pattern of industrializing shared by the Ottomans and Japanese. In a few para- graphs, identify the pattern and explain how it differed from that of European states both socially and economically.
