TRANSFORMATIONS IN
EUROPE
1
I. Culture and Ideas
 Martin Luther insisted that the only way






to salvation was through religious faith
The Protestant Reformation began with
rejection of the pope’s authority.
The printing press promoted Luther’s
ideas
John Calvin preached that salvation was
granted by predestination
Calvinism simplified religious rituals
2
 In response the Catholic Church reformed
the education of the clergy at the Council
of Nicaea
 Ignatius of Loyola founded the Jesuits
 To enforce religious orthodoxy, King

Philip II of Spain used the Inquisition to
punish heretics
 Bitter “wars of religion” resulted from the
challenged to the church
3
 English Reformation led by Henry VIII
was different because
 He challenged the pope’s authority in England
 He wanted an annulment from his Catholic

wife
 He seized land of monasteries/churches
 He gave seized land to his supporters
 He had parliament make him head of the
Church of England
4
 Europeans mostly believed natural disasters
were the cause of super-natural forces

 They had two belief systems:
 Folklore including magic
 Christian and Judaic teachings

 Devil the source of evil and witchcraft
 Scientific Revolution – reintroduced ancient
Greek writing and Roman science – universe
could be explained by natural causes

5
 Nicholas Copernicus – heliocentric universe
 Isaac Newton – mathematical laws governed

the universe
 Galileo Galilei – discovered spots on sun and
mountains on the moon
 Galileo’s new science viewed with suspicion
by religious and intellectual leaders- Galileo
condemned
 Church did embrace the Gregorian calendar
based on the new astronomy
6
 “Enlightened” thinkers often persecuted
 Enlightenment in Europe was a blending

of intellectual schools of thought from
many diverse areas with the idea of
improving the human condition

7
II. Social and Economic Life
 Wealthy urban class = Bourgeoisie who

thrived on manufacturing, finance & trade
 European merchants relied on family and
ethnic networks – just like Islamic world
 Partnerships between merchants and
governments led to development of jointstock companies and stock exchanges

8
 Dutch East &West Indies Company
 Established a monopoly on products from

India
 Form as a joint-stock company(selling shares
to individuals to share the risk and profits)
 Overseas cargo trade risk reduced because
many investors spread out the financial
burden
 Allowing trade of stocks in the market in
Amsterdam

 English build a larger navy, able to
overcome the Dutch trade monopolies
9
 Most European peasants were free but their

standards of living declined between 1500 –
1750
 New crops of potatoes and corn from new
world helped the rural poor from starving
 High consumption of wood for
heating, cooking, construction, shipbuilding
and industrial uses = deforestation
 Deserving poor = permanent residents while
undeserving poor =
migrants, peddlers, beggars, and criminals

10
 Women’s status and work closely tied to

husband/family
 European marriage patterns reflected a freer
choice of one’s marriage partner
 Women not a greater part of the cultural
movements – barred from schools, guilds
and professions.

11
III. Political Innovations
 The Holy Roman Empire ruled by

Habsburgs
 Peace of Augsburg – HRE Charles V
allowed German princes to choose
Catholicism or Lutheranism
 Charles V failed to unify all of Europe, but
Spain, France and England limited the
power of the church and nobility in their
states.
12
 The English Civil War started when

Charles I refused to grant rights to
Parliament and tried to arrest his critics
 Results of English Civil War - Charles I
executed replaced by Oliver Cromwell
 Glorious Revolution established a
constitution and a bill of rights with
William and Mary who agreed to limit the
power of the crown
13
 Royal Absolutism in France – gigantic palace
Versailles symbolized the triumph over the

rights of the nobility
 Edict of Nantes –revoked in 1685 by Louis
XIV eliminating religious freedom for French
Protestants
 Increase revenue through efficient tax
collection and promoting economic growth
 Louis made the French nobility to attend his
court at Versailles

14
 The wars and devastation of the early

modern era in Europe resulted in better
European armies, weapons and
maneuvers
 Pay for large war expenses by making
alliances with the rising commercial elites
and protecting markets overseas
 Netherlands revolted against Spain due to
Spanish sales tax/Catholic orthodoxy
15
 Balance of power - forming alliances with

other European states to ensure that no
one state became too powerful
 John Locke – English political
philosopher asserted that if the monarch
abused his or her power, the people had a
duty to rebel
