Summary and Conclusion 1830-1930 – Economic growth: especially after 1900 – Economic crises: big one in 1929 – Political crises: party systems rise and fall Using NGHIS and ICPSR we can analyze these economic and political effects on whatever we wish to explain (e.g., terrorism) Or we can just look at the pictures (which are interesting)
