AP European History
Unit 4 – Scientific, Philosophical, and Political Developments
Topic 4.1
Considering post-colonial theory, how might have colonies been influenced by Europe during the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment?
European powers shared their knowledge equally with their colonies, leading to a global scientific awakening.
Colonies independently developed parallel scientific and philosophical advancements.
European scientific and philosophical developments were imposed upon colonies, often disregarding or undermining local knowledge systems.
The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment had little impact on the colonies as they were focused on economic exploitation.
