Key Concepts:

7.1: Government, political and social organizations struggled to address the effects of large-scale industrialization, economic uncertainty, and related social changes such as urbanization and mass migration.

7.2: A revolution in communications and transportation technology helped to create a new mess culture and spread of “modern” values and ideas, even as cultural conflict between groups increased under the pressure of migration, world wars, and economic distress.

7.3 Global conflicts over resources, territories and ideologies renewed debates over the nation’s values and its role in the world, while simultaneously propelling the United States into a dominant international military, political, cultural, and economic position.
