• In the “Long Nineteenth Century” (1789-1914), the labels “liberal” and “conservative” meant almost the opposite of what they mean today. Explain how the French Revolution could be called a liberal revolution.

• Industrialization

• Individuals of lower classes rose astronomically

• Slowly the vote was spreading to non-landowners

• City life brought some improvements

• Life expectancy was higher

• Man a nomad again

• The new speed of business transactions only increased materialism
