Think As Historian: THINK AS A HISTORIAN: EXPLAIN RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DEvELOPMENTS

Using reasoning processes of comparison, causation, and/or continuity and change, historians can explore and explain relationships between different historical developments. For example, they can explain the relationship between the historical development of state-building and the historical development of global trading networks by asking such questions as:

• How were these developments the same, and how were they different?

• What caused each development, and what were the effects? Did one development cause the other?

• What degree of change did the development bring about? In other words, to what extent was continuity preserved or disrupted?

Two developments during the period 1750 to 1900 have earned the term “revolution.” These are the agricultural revolution in Britain and the Industrial Revolution. Answer the questions above about each revolution to explain the relationships between them. Prepare one or more graphics showing your analysis.
