Period Outline from the 2012 College Board APUSH Framework, Reformatting and emphasis by Rebecca Richardson, Allen High School PERIOD 7: 1890–1945 The content for APUSH is divided into 9 periods. The outline below contains the required course content for Period 7, which corresponds to our Units 6 and 7. Unit 6 ends with WWI, and Unit 7 ends with WWII. This outline covers both. The Thematic Learning Objectives (historical themes) are referenced in parentheses along the way. You can refer to these questions by looking in your thematic learning objectives section of your Framework (section 1 of your APUSH binder). You should be confident in answering these questions with substantial historical evidence by the end of the unit. All questions on your assessments will measure understanding of both content and themes. Bolded items emphasize some of the important people/places/things that you are likely to be asked directly about on the AP exam. All content in this outline is potential material on any assessment; however the illustrative examples will not explicitly appear on the AP exam (although you may see them on class assessments). Period 7 Main Idea: An increasingly pluralistic United States faced profound domestic and global challenges, debated the proper degree of government activism, and sought to define its international role. Key Concept 7.1: Governmental, 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. I. The continued growth and consolidation of large corporations transformed American society and the nation’s economy, promoting urbanization and economic growth, even as business cycle fluctuations became increasingly severe. (WOR-3) (ID-7) (WXT-3) (WXT-5) (POL-3) A. Large corporations came to dominate the U.S. economy as it increasingly focused on the production of consumer goods, driven by new technologies and manufacturing techniques. B. The United States continued its transition from a rural, agricultural society to an urban, industrial one, offering new economic opportunities for women, internal migrants, and international migrants who continued to flock to the United States. C. Even as economic growth continued, episodes of credit and market instability, most critically the Great Depression, led to calls for the creation of a stronger financial regulatory system. Thematic Learning Objectives WOR-3: Explain how the growing interconnection of the U.S. with worldwide economic, labor, and migration systems affected U.S. society since the late 19th century ID-7: Analyze how changes in class identity and gender roles have related to economic, social, and cultural transformations since the late 19th century WXT-3: Explain how changes in transportation, technology, and the integration of the U.S. economy into world markets have influenced U.S. society since the Gilded Age WXT-5: Explain how and why different labor systems have developed, persisted, and changed since 1800 and how events such as the Civil War and industrialization shaped U.S. society and workers’ lives POL-3: Explain how activist groups and reform movements, such as antebellum reformers, civil rights activists, and social conservatives, have caused changes to state institutions and U.S. society Period Outline from the 2012 College Board APUSH Framework, Reformatting and emphasis by Rebecca Richardson, Allen High School II. Progressive reformers responded to economic instability, social inequality, and political corruption by calling for government intervention in the economy, expanded democracy, greater social justice, and conservation of natural resources.(WXT-6) (WXT-7) (WXT-8) (POL-3) (ENV-5) (CUL-5) A. In the late 1890s and the early years of the 20th century, journalists and Progressive reformers — largely urban and middle class, and often female — worked to reform existing social and political institutions at the local, state, and federal levels by creating new organizations aimed at addressing social problems associated with an industrial society. B. Progressives promoted federal legislation to regulate abuses of the economy and the environment, and many sought to expand democracy. Illustrative Examples: Clayton Antitrust Act, Florence Kelley, Federal Reserve Bank III. National, state, and local reformers responded to economic upheavals, laissez-faire capitalism, and the Great Depression by transforming the U.S. into a limited welfare state. (WXT-8) (POL-2) (POL-4) (ID-3) (CUL-5) A. The liberalism of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal drew on earlier progressive ideas and represented a multifaceted approach to both the causes and effects of the Great Depression, using government power to provide relief to the poor, stimulate recovery, and reform the American economy. Illustrative Examples: National Recovery Administration, Tennessee Valley Authority, Federal Writers’ Project B. Radical, union, and populist movements pushed Roosevelt toward more extensive reforms, even as conservatives in Congress and the Supreme Court sought to limit the New Deal’s scope. Illustrative Examples: Huey Long, Supreme Court fight C. Although the New Deal did not completely overcome the Depression, it left a legacy of reforms and agencies that endeavored to make society and individuals more secure, and it helped foster a long-term political realignment in which many ethnic groups, African Americans, and working-class communities identified with the Democratic Party. Illustrative Examples: Social Security Act, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Thematic Learning Objectives WXT-6: Explain how arguments about market capitalism, the growth of corporate power, and government policies influenced economic policies from the late 18th century through the early 20th century WXT-7: Compare the beliefs and strategies of movements advocating changes to the U.S. economic system since industrialization, particularly the organized labor, Populist, and Progressive movements WXT-8: Explain how and why the role of the federal government in regulating economic life and the environment has changed since the end of the 19th century POL-3: Explain how activist groups and reform movements, such as antebellum reformers, civil rights activists, and social conservatives, have caused changes to state institutions and U.S. society ENV-5: Explain how and why debates about and policies concerning the use of natural resources and the environment more generally have changed since the late 19th century CUL-5: Analyze ways that philosophical, moral, and scientific ideas were used to defend and challenge the dominant economic and social order in the 19th and 20th centuries. POL-2: Explain how and why major party systems and political alignments arose and have changed from the early Republic through the end of the 20th century POL-4: Analyze how and why the New Deal, the Great Society, and the modern conservative movement all sought to change the federal government’s role in U.S. political, social, and economic life ID-3: Analyze how U.S. involvement in international crises such as the Spanish American War, World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, and the Cold War influenced public debates about American national identity in the 20th century Period Outline from the 2012 College Board APUSH Framework, Reformatting and emphasis by Rebecca Richardson, Allen High School Key Concept 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. I. Many Americans began to advocate overseas expansionism in the late 19th century, leading to new territorial ambitions and acquisitions in the Western Hemisphere and the Pacific. (WOR-6) (WOR-7) (ENV-5) (POL-6) A. The perception in the 1890s that the western frontier was “closed,” economic motives, competition with other European imperialist ventures of the time, and racial theories all furthered arguments that Americans were destined to expand their culture and norms to others, especially the nonwhite nations of the globe. B. The American victory in the Spanish-American War led to the U.S. acquisition of island territories, an expanded economic and military presence in the Caribbean and Latin America, engagement in a protracted insurrection in the Philippines, and increased involvement in Asia. C. Questions about America’s role in the world generated considerable debate, prompting the development of a wide variety of views and arguments between imperialists and anti-imperialists and, later, interventionists and isolationists. Illustrative Examples: dollar diplomacy, Mexican intervention II. World War I and its aftermath intensified debates about the nation’s role in the world and how best to achieve national security and pursue American interests. (WOR-4) (WOR-7) (ID-3) (POL-6) A. After initial neutrality in World War I the nation entered the conflict, departing from the U.S. foreign policy tradition of noninvolvement in European affairs in response to Woodrow Wilson’s call for the defense of humanitarian and democratic principles. B. Although the American Expeditionary Force played a relatively limited role in the war, Wilson was heavily involved in postwar negotiations, resulting in the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations, both of which generated substantial debate within the United States. C. In the years following World War I, the United States pursued a unilateral foreign policy that used international investment, peace treaties, and select military intervention to promote a vision of international order, even while maintaining U.S. isolationism, which continued to the late 1930s. Illustrative Examples: Washington Naval Conference, Stimson Doctrine, Neutrality Acts Thematic Learning Objectives WOR-6: Analyze the major aspects of domestic debates over U.S. expansionism in the 19th century and the early 20th century WOR-7: Analyze the goals of U.S. policymakers in major international conflicts, such as the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the Cold War, and explain how U.S. involvement in these conflicts has altered the U.S. role in world affairs ENV-5: Explain how and why debates about and policies concerning the use of natural resources and the environment more generally have changed since the late 19th century WOR-4: Explain how the U.S. involvement in global conflicts in the 20th century set the stage for domestic social changes ID-3: Analyze how U.S. involvement in international crises such as the Spanish American War, World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, and the Cold War influenced public debates about American national identity in the 20th century POL-6: Analyze how debates over political values (such as democracy, freedom, and citizenship) and the extension of American ideals abroad contributed to the ideological clashes and military conflicts of the 19th century and the early 20th century Period Outline from the 2012 College Board APUSH Framework, Reformatting and emphasis by Rebecca Richardson, Allen High School III. The involvement of the United States in World War II, while opposed by most Americans prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, vaulted the United States into global political and military prominence, and transformed both American society and the relationship between the United States and the rest of the world. (WOR-4) (WOR-7) (ID-3) (ID-6) (POL-5) A. The mass mobilization of American society to supply troops for the war effort and a workforce on the home front ended the Great Depression and provided opportunities for women and minorities to improve their socioeconomic positions. B. Wartime experiences, such as the internment of Japanese Americans, challenges to civil liberties, debates over race and segregation, and the decision to drop the atomic bomb raised questions about American values. C. The United States and its allies achieved victory over the Axis powers through a combination of factors, including allied political and military cooperation, industrial production, technological and scientific advances, and popular commitment to advancing democratic ideals. Illustrative Examples: Atlantic Charter, development of sonar, Manhattan Project D. The dominant American role in the Allied victory and postwar peace settlements, combined with the war-ravaged condition of Asia and Europe, allowed the United States to emerge from the war as the most powerful nation on earth. Thematic Learning Objectives WOR-4: Explain how the U.S. involvement in global conflicts in the 20th century set the stage for domestic social changes WOR-7: Analyze the goals of U.S. policymakers in major international conflicts, such as the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the Cold War, and explain how U.S. involvement in these conflicts has altered the U.S. role in world affairs ID-3: Analyze how U.S. involvement in international crises such as the Spanish American War, World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, and the Cold War influenced public debates about American national identity in the 20th century ID-6: Analyze how migration patterns to, and migration within, the United States have influenced the growth of racial and ethnic identities and conflicts over ethnic assimilation and distinctiveness POL-5: Analyze how arguments over the meaning and interpretation of the Constitution have affected U.S. politics since 1787
