Imperialism: Crash Course World History #35
In which John Green teaches you about European Imperialism in the 19th century. European powers started to create colonial empires way back in the 16th century, but businesses really took off in the 19th century, especially in Asia and Africa. During the 1800s, European powers carved out spheres of influence in China, India, and pretty much all of Africa. While all of the major (and some minor) powers in Europe participated in this new imperialism, England was by far the most dominant, once able to claim that the "sun never set on the British Empire." Also, they went to war for the right to continue to sell opium to the people of China. Twice. John will teach you how these empires managed to leverage the advances of the Industrial Revolution to build vast, wealth-generating empires. As it turns out, improved medicine, steam engines, and better guns were crucial in the 19th century conquests. Also, the willingness to exploit and abuse the people and resources of so-called "primitive" nations was very helpful in the whole enterprise.

Kyiv Fashion Museum to Feature Vintage 19th Century Clothes
Collector of vintage clothing, Marina Ivanova, plans to create a museum of fashion in Kyiv. And while this idea awaits realization, Marina has presented a part of her collection at the exhibition "Eternity of Romance." Our correspondent tell us more about the unique clothing and accessories of the Nineteenth Century.
One can learn about the fashion of the Nineteenth century not only from historical movies and old photos, but also by seeing such clothing firsthand.
Kiev designer Marina Ivanova presented her private collection of elegant dresses and ladies accessories that were popular in Europe almost 200 years ago.
[Marina Ivanova, Vintage Clothes Collector]:
"I'm a slave of this collection. I have to patch, darn, iron, restore."
The exhibition displays some of what was gathered by Marina over 30 years. Each dress has its own history and its purpose.
[Anna Varavva, NTD Correspondent]:
"These dresses of delicate batiste and lace were designed for walking. They were dressed on corsets, which tightened the waist to 50 cm. But what could not be done for the sake of a beauty?"
To create a more expressive silhouette women tied a pillow behind, called a bustle.
[Oksana Shevchenko, Exhibation Curator]:
"In the photos the last century there were women depicted in some reclining poses, not very natural, but very graceful. In fact, they did not take these postures on purpose. They simply could not just sit down properly, because of all these devices, so they had to recline on the couch in some unnatural position to relax a little."
Some dresses have a passport, and even photos of their former owner.
[Marina Ivanova, Vintage Clothes Collector]:
"This dress I got with a wedding photo. Why is that surprising? I bought it on May 27. When I turned the photo, I saw on the back that these people had a wedding on May 27, 1919. It was so touching for me, that I wanted to open a champagne bottle and celebrate."
This dress in the Venetian style made from green taffeta is a wedding gown too. At the end of the 19th century all shades of green were in fashion. And in 1870, some Hariet Hamilton wore it on the day of her wedding.
This part of the exhibition includes dresses of the 20th century. Perhaps the most friendly and forgiving to female beauty. Corsets were no longer popular. Dresses were decorated mostly with lace, stones, feathers and flowers. Silk, chiffon and satin were popular at that time.
[Marina Ivanova, Vintage Clothes Collector]:
"This is from 1912. I got this costume from America. It has very beautiful lacework blouse. Very nice high collar. At that time it was fashionable to wear very large hats, so the neck had to be visually enhanced. So here there are even supporting "bones" in the collar to protect it from falling flat."
Visitors to the exhibition have already found a dress to their liking.
[Natalia Mashoshina, Visitor]:
"Personally, I liked this one. I would put it on, if I were in that century. In my opinion, it is quite a beautiful dress."
The collection includes three dozen dresses, about a hundred hats and bags, and a dozen umbrellas.
The exhibition has presented only part of them. Marina hopes to put all the exhibits in the Museum of fashion, which is yet to be created.

Great ideas of the 19th century (Oct. 27 class)
Watch video of John Lachs, Centennial Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University, leading an Oct. 27, 2010, class at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
The 19th century was an unusually fertile period of thought. The ideas of evolution, progress, liberty, radical encounter with God, the struggle for existence, human control over human destiny, and universal caring were invented or substantially developed during this time. Some of the leading ideas of the 19th century are discussed and the extent to which we are still struggling to deal with the problems they could not resolve are assessed.
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Vanderbilt supports lifelong learning. It is an organization that provides adults with educational programs, stimulating tours and trips, and a variety of social events. The program reflects the high academic standards espoused by the university on all levels. By offering non-credit courses, students benefit from the stimulus of lectures and discussions in an informal and relaxed environment. The student body is a cohesive group that projects a true sense of community, always welcoming new members.
The Division of Public Affairs sponsors Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Vanderbilt.

Education in America: 19th Century (clip)
"Education in America: 19th Century" explores the development of free public school systems, as promised for the Northwest Territory by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, during the period of westward expansion. Other trends highlighted include the shift to secular education; the influence of American textbooks; the rise and decline of the district school; the struggle over tax support and state control; the contributions of Daniel Webster, William McGuffey, Gideon Hawley, and Horace Mann; the effect of the Civil War; compulsory attendance laws; and the rise of teacher training institutions.

Street Life in London in the 19th century - Pictures from the streets in London of the 1876-1877
Street Life in London, published in 1876-7, consists of a series of articles by the radical journalist Adolphe Smith and the photographer John Thomson. The pieces are short but full of detail, based on interviews with a range of men and women who eked out a precarious and marginal existence working on the streets of London, including flower-sellers, chimney-sweeps, shoe-blacks, chair-caners, musicians, dustmen and locksmiths. The subject matter of Street Life was not new -- the second half of the 19th century saw an increasing interest in urban poverty and social conditions -- but the unique selling point of Street Life was a series of photographs 'taken from life' by Thomson. The authors felt at the time that the images lent authenticity to the text, and their book is now regarded as a key work in the history of documentary photography.

"Learning, Limits, and Love: Maritime Girls in the Late 19th-century"
Janet Guildford, Mount St. Vincent University
For girls from prosperous and respectable Maritime families, growing up in the late 19th century meant learning to accept the limitations imposed on women in their society. By the end of the century, opportunities began to open up for them in education, careers and even sports. Nonetheless, those activities remained secondary to the "real" work of getting married and having children.
