Keple developed the laws of planetary motion, describing the elliptical orbits of planets around the sun. It is significant because it was crucial in the better understanding of our solar system dynamics and as a springboard to newer theories that more accurately approximate our planetary orbits. Kepler explained the movement of the planets, moons, and comets in our solar system. They helped discard the idea of the circular motion of celestial bodies that dated back to Ancient GreeceThe United States had no role.

Galileo Galilei made significant contributions to physics and mechanics, conducting experiments on motion, gravity, and the behavior of pendulums. His work laid the foundation for Isaac Newton's laws of motion.It is significant because it sparked the birth of modern astronomy Galileo made fundamental contributions to the sciences of motion, astronomy, and strength of materials and to the development of the scientific method. The United States had no role.

Andreas Vesalius: Published "De humani corporis fabrica," a groundbreaking anatomical text featuring detailed illustrations based on dissections, advancing the understanding of human anatomy and laying the groundwork for modern medicine. It is significant by providing the earliest complete rendering of the vascular system Vesalius has profoundly changed not only how the human anatomy is seen as, but also the structure of medicine.

Adam Smith is known primarily for a single workAn Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, the first comprehensive system of political economy, which included Smith's description of a system of market-determined wages and free rather than government-constrained enterprise He is significant because of his ideals of the importance of free markets, assembly-line production methods, and gross domestic product (GDP)—formed the basis for theories of classical economics. Adam Smith's writings influence economics today as he believed wealth is created via labor, and self-interest spurs people to use their resources to earn money The United States had no role.

Jefferson promoted studies of natural history, botany, archeology, and architecture as well as creating a government based on the Enlightenment values of liberty, equality, and a new form of justice He is significant because Thomas Jefferson influence the Declaration of Independence by encouraging freedom and unity among people. Thomas was the author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia The United States had no role.

Rousseau viewed individuals as interdependent and the Enlightenment's focus on individuality undermined the natural equality of human beings he is significant because of his views on political and moral philosophy, or human nature and human dynamics. Rousseau's ideas on individual freedoms and their role in government can be seen in the Bill of Rights The United States had no role.

John Locke's philosophy inspired and reflected Enlightenment values in its recognition of the rights and equality of individuals, its criticism of arbitrary authority (The Divine Right of Kings), and its advocacy of religious toleration He laid much of the groundwork for the Enlightenment and made central contributions to the development of liberalism. John Locke's political theory directly influenced the U.S. Declaration of Independence in its assertion of natural individual rights and its grounding of political authority in the consent of the governed The United States had no role.

Globalization & The World since 1960s

The World History would be different if the American Revoultion did not occur. First, without a feudel government, the interior of North America and the western coast might be separate nations toda. To add on, there wouldnt have been a U.S war with Mexico in the 1840s. Because of the American Revolution, the U.S has been evolving, attempting to make a more secure and free economy.

American Revolution

If the Spanish American War didn't happene throughout history, the Philippines would still be independent but without the American influence. The Phillippnes were winning the war, so it wouldnt make much of a difference, but sitll have an impact. If this fight did not occur, The United States would probably wouldnt continue on fighting against the filipinos in 1901.

Spanish-American War

Without the backing of American weaponry, munitions and loans, the Allies would have been forced to abandon their goal of the knockout blow. The war might have ended in 1915 or 1916 with a negotiated peace based on the mutual admission that the conflict had become a stalemate. The war would till occur, but without America's invovement and aid, British tanks and weaponery would not be as effective in the war.

Outbreak of WW1

If the United States had never entered either WW1 or WW2 (or perhaps entered WW2 only against Japan to avenge Pearl Harbor), I believe that the Allies would still have won. Although, it would have lasted through 1919 and would have been much bloodier, and mostly at the expense of German civilians, or end with a peace treaty or a negotiated peace.

Outbreak of WW2

America had bombed Hiroshima as a way to quickly end WW2 and to make the Japanese to surrender. But if the United States never dropped the bomb, I believe that many more casualties for both the Allies and Japan, possibly even surpassing the over 200,000 civilians who perished from the bombs. Without the bomb, the war would probably continue for much longer, in all likelihood, and would have still ended in the Allies' favor, but not without further losses

John Locke Writings

John Locke published Two Treatises of Government advocating a separation of church and state, religious toleration, and certain inalienable rights of the individual, among other premises. John created the modern emphasis on constitutionalism that defines, in part, the relationship between the political system and the bureaucracy. Finally, he was an important link in the development of modern executive and legislative power.

American Revolution

The American Revolution was an epic political and military struggle waged between 1765 and 1783 when 13 of Britain's North American colonies rejected its imperial rule. The protest began in opposition to taxes levied without colonial representation by the British monarchy and Parliament. This revolution is considered the starting point of the Age of Revolution, noted for the change from absolutist monarchies to representative governments with a written constitution, and the creation of nation states.

Adam Smith

Adam Smith wrote to advocate for no government interference in the market and that the three basic tenets of a government were to protect national borders, enforce civil laws, and engage in public works. Smith's economic ideas contributed to the United States enterprise system by promoting freedom of choice, open competition, and individual ownership of property.

Nuclear Arms Race

Both The Soviet Union and the United States continued building more and bigger bombs. In 1952, the United States tested a new and more powerful weapon: the hydrogen bomb.

The American West

Railroads were built and completed to the West following the Civil War opened up vast areas of the region to settlement and economic development. The cattle industry rose in importance as the railroad provided a practical means for getting the cattle to market. The development of railroads had an major impact on the U.S, expanding the continent, opening up vast areas for homesteaders and connecting distant metropolitan markets to domestic crops and cattle.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean- Jacques explored political philosophy, and his writings formed foundational pieces on modern social and political thought. He believed that people would give up unlimited freedom for the security provided by government, and all people deserved the right to freedom, freedom of speech and religion. These ideas may have influenced Thomas Jefferson as he drafted the Declaration of Independence. He directly impacted the U.S. Constitution by expressing his ideas on the nature of man and social contract theory, and in fact inspired the American and French revolutions

Urbanization occured rapidly in the United States in the 1800s because of the rapid industrialization. People were looking for better wages in industrial labor. cities began to grow and also increased industrialiation. The attractions of city life, and in particular, employment opportunities, grew exponentially due to rapid changes in industrialization. Before the mid-1800s, factories, such as the early textile mills, had to be located near rivers and seaports, both for the transport of goods and the necessary water power.

The War of 1812

The two leading causes of the war were the British Orders-in-Council, which limited American trade with Europe, and the Royal Navy's practice of taking seamen from American merchant vessels to fill out the crews of its own chronically undermanned warships. The war boosted America's reputation by successfully defending against the British navy. It tested the U.S. Constitution and the new government.

Cities were beginning to grow rapidly, filling up with immigrants from all over the world, reach to about 15 million people, and with mass transit, in the form of trolleys, cable cars, and subways, was built, and skyscrapers began to grow. New communities, known as suburbs, began to be built just beyond the city.
