Warm-Up:  test chapter 20-21 

Lesson:  “Changes in Latin America” - PowerPoint

Chapter 23  -Transformations in Latin America

 

Independence Movements

—  Chaos created by Napoleonic Wars opened door for independence movements

 

—  Portugal – King  John VI fled to Brazil (later  went home) but his son (Pedro) stayed in Brazil

 

—  Spain – King was kicked out by Napoleon – so colonies created a JUNTA to rule in the king’s absence

 

Spanish South America  -1810-1825

—  1811 the JUNTA  (led by creoles) declared independence

—  Led by large landowning creoles – not supportive of slaves or mulattoes (MOTIVES???)

—  Military leader – Simon Bolivar (educated in Enlightened ideas).  He was able to gain support by building coalitions

—  Agreed to abolish slavery

—  Enlisted the help of British ex-soldiers

—  Spanish armies were finally defeated in 1824

—  Bolivar along with Jose de San Martin tried to unite all of the colonies into 1 federation – but failed.

 

Mexico 1810-1823

—  The viceroy of Mexico was overthrown by wealthy Spanish  - this created a weak colonial gov’t

—  1810 – the priest Miguel Hidalgo organized poor workers (many Amerindians and mestizos) to overthrow the wealthy rulers – by 1811 Hidalgo was arrested & executed.

—  1813 - Jose Maria Morelos (a student of Hidalgo) organized a better fighting force – he was executed (1815).

—  1821 – Colonel Agustin de Iturbide created an alliance between wealthy landowners and the rebels.  He was crowned emperor - but overthrown in 1823…Mexico declared a republic.

Brazil to 1831

—  The son of Portugal’s King (Prince Pedro) aligned himself with Brazilian colonists & declared independence in 1822 – created a constitutional monarchy

—  Constitution of 1824: elected assembly & protected political opposition

—  Slavery:  Pedro opposed slavery & stopped the slave trade in Brazil (made enemies with large landowners)

—  Long military conflict with Uruguay created discontent; Pedro I abdicated in 1831; his son Pedro II ruled until he was overthrown by a democratic movement in 1889.

Personalist Leaders

—  Modeled on Napoleon – very popular leader (usually military) – able to gain power by influencing the masses -  because these leaders became the “voice” of the poor.

—  Why was this able to happen?

—  Weak constitutions, low literacy levels, poorly developed communication system

—  Caudillo – Latin American personalist leader who  rules without constitutional authority (that means they were dictators)

Classwork: Short Response:  pick 2 of the following categories (political, economic, social) and explain how Latin America CHANGED and STAYED THE SAME

Monday 4/2/12 (A Day) & Tuesday 4/3/12 (B Day)

Classwork:  Notes on the Ottoman Empire (follows the homework)

Homework:  Read pg 495 – 500 – then identify SPECIFIC comparisons and contrasts between the Safavid and Ottoman Empires (based on government, military, economy, and society).

       The Ottoman Empire Rise and Decline (but not Fall)

       Overview

       Ottoman Empire:  1299-1922

       Largest Islamic empire since the caliphates of the 7th century

       Government administration resembled the new monarchs of England, Spain & France

       Early Success and Growth

       Good rulers

   Suleiman the Magnificent (r. 1520-1566)

       Excellent Location – the Dardanelles Strait

   Link between Europe and Asia; the Mediterranean and Black Seas

       Army

   Cavalrymen & Janissaries

      The Birth of an Empire

        By 1402 they conquered the Christian kingdom of Serbia (Balkans)

        In 1453 Sultan Mehmed II defeated the Byzantine Empire after laying siege to Constantinople (renamed ISTANBUL)

        North Africa & Syria were added to the Empire by 1517

 

      Shortcomings

                 The Ottomans never developed a powerful navy

            fought w/ Venice for control of the Med. but allowed them to continue trading in exchange for tribute payments

            fought the Portuguese for control of areas close to the Red Sea – but did not take on the Portuguese for control of the Indian Ocean

             The Ottomans were content as long as trade was not disrupted

 

 

      The Army

       Original army consisted of mounted horsemen with bow & arrow

       Christian p.o.w.’s were added after the war with the Balkans

   JANISSARY:  Christian males were converted to Islam & trained as infantrymen (with guns)

     Trained all year, not allowed to hold other jobs or marry

       Once the Balkans were subdued the devshirme was imposed

 

   Christian villages were required to supply a certain # of Christian boys each year to the Ottomans for training as janissaries

 

     Promising boys were trained in the sultan’s palace: taught the language, liberal arts & military training.  They became generals, gov’t administrators even vizier.

 

       The Military State

       LAND GRANT SYSTEM:  The powerful members of the cavalry governed the rural areas of the empire

   Establish order, collect taxes, plus provide military service each summer

       Eventually the cavalry lost preeminence and land

   Tax collection was turned over to tax farmers (who did not help maintain order)

       The Janissaries became a hereditary position & were now allowed to marry & hold jobs

   Their jobs often got in the way of their military training and readiness (some even hired substitutes to fight for them)

   As the # of janissaries grew the gov’t needed more money

       Mercenaries were hired to help the janissaries

 

 

      Rebellion & Decline

       Dissatisfied cavalrymen & others led to a period of rebellion between 1590-1610

   Afterwards the role of the sultan changed

       Sultan was less involved in the gov’t

   no longer led the army personally

 

   Grand Vizier was the administrator of the government

 

       European Contact

       Ottoman power on the Euro. front was weak – this opened the door for Austria & Russia to make a move

       lands in close proximity to Europe grew cash crops (cotton & tobacco) to trade w/ Euro.

       Elite copied Euro. dress, books, and culture

 

 

       1730 – revolt by a group of conservative Janissary led to the abdication of the sultan

   Eventually the sultanate was restored

       Mid-1700’s Ottoman provinces (like Egypt, Iran & central Arabia) are not officially independent but the central gov’t wielded less power than local governors and wealthy landowners
