Frederick The Great
Frederick the Great had a disciplined childhood with intense military training. He became King of Prussia in 1740 and sought to unite and modernize the country. Much of his early reign was spent expanding Prussia's borders through war, including the War of Austrian Succession where he acquired the region of Silesia. Later, the Seven Years' War nearly destroyed Prussia but Frederick's military leadership allowed him to defeat his enemies one by one. Towards the end of his life, Frederick adopted more enlightened policies and granted religious tolerance to create a better life for the Prussian people.

Enlightened philosophers advocated for natural rights like freedom of religion and speech. Some rulers like Frederick the Great and Catherine the Great attempted limited reforms in line with Enlightenment ideals while maintaining absolute rule, though Joseph II of Austria enacted more radical changes.

Age Of Absolutism
During the Age of Absolutism, several European powers centralized power around strong absolute monarchies. France was centralized under Louis XIV, known as the "Sun King", who ignored parliament and spent lavishly. Prussia became a powerful Protestant state under Frederick William and his son Frederick the Great. Austria remained strong under Catholic Hapsburg rule, led by Maria Theresa. Russia was westernized and its power centralized by Peter the Great and later Catherine the Great, though both increased serfdom. These powers vied for dominance in shifting alliances while seeking to maintain a balance of power in Europe through competition and war.
Age Of Absolutism
Absolute monarchies were common during the Age of Absolutism from the 1500s to late 1700s. Absolute monarchs possessed total control over their kingdoms and had several advantages, such as efficient decision making and long-term stability. However, they also had weaknesses like being undemocratic and restricting individual rights. Russia in particular was isolated during this period due to Mongol rule and a lack of warm water ports, but Czars like Peter the Great sought to modernize and Westernize the nation through reforms like building the new capital St. Petersburg.

Key events like the Reformation and Age of Exploration weakened churches and brought in wealth, increasing monarchs' power. Absolute monarchs like Louis XIV of France, Elizabeth I of England, and Peter the Great of Russia ruled with total authority, believing that divine right granted them supreme power over state and religion. The Divine Right theory held that God had chosen the monarch to rule, so questioning the king was akin to questioning God. The document also provides an example daily schedule for Louis XIV to illustrate his absolute authority.

Age of absolutism
Peter I the Great and Catherine II the Great ruled Russia as absolute monarchs seeking to modernize and expand the nation. Peter I Westernized Russia through reforms like improving education, importing technology, and developing industry. He founded St. Petersburg and defeated the Ottoman Empire to gain a warm-water port. Catherine II continued modernizing Russia and extended its territory through war and the partitioning of Poland. Both monarchs ruled autocratically and pushed Russia to become a European great power.

They built large armies funded by high taxes, made laws without restrictions, and sought to expand their territories through colonies. Examples like Louis XIV of France and Philip II of Spain spent lavishly on palaces like Versailles while centralizing control over local nobility. Peter the Great and Frederick the Great modernized their countries through westernization and military expansion.
Russia

It also discusses Rasputin's influence over the royal family, the leaders of the provisional government and Bolsheviks like Lenin, and major events that contributed to the revolution such as Bloody Sunday and the February and October Revolutions.
Wars of Religion
The Wars of Religion in France from 1560-1648 and the Thirty Years War from 1618-1648 were both devastating religious conflicts that weakened the power of royal authority in Europe and left the continent divided. The Wars of Religion in France established the Bourbon dynasty and granted Huguenots limited religious rights through the Edict of Nantes. The Thirty Years War ended with the Peace of Westphalia, which established principles of state sovereignty and religious tolerance while curtailing Habsburg power in the Holy Roman Empire. Both conflicts caused widespread death, economic ruin, and political fragmentation across Europe.
Stuarts (1603 1714)
The Stuart monarchs from James I onwards quarreled frequently with Parliament, resulting in civil war. The only English king ever tried and executed was Charles I, a Stuart. This led to a republic led by Oliver Cromwell, which proved unsuccessful. The dead king's son Charles II was invited to return as monarch, but constitutional issues around Parliament's powers continued under James II, leading to the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and William and Mary becoming joint monarchs on the condition they accept Parliamentary supremacy.

Peter visited Western Europe to learn their ways, brought the Orthodox Church under state control, reduced the power of landowners, established a new capital called St. Petersburg, and introduced reforms like potatoes, newspapers, education, and Western fashion to try to make Russia more like Western Europe. Through these reforms, by the time of his death Russia had become a force to be reckoned with in Europe.
English Absolutism
English Absolutism developed under King James I and his son Charles I, who believed in the divine right of kings and ruled without Parliament. This led to conflicts over money, religion, and foreign policy. Parliament imposed restrictions with the Petition of Right, but Charles dissolved Parliament. Further disputes and Charles' attempt to arrest opponents led to the English Civil War between Royalists (Cavaliers) and Parliamentarians (Roundheads). Oliver Cromwell and the Roundheads emerged victorious, executing Charles I and establishing a Puritan republic led by Cromwell. After Cromwell's death, the monarchy was restored under Charles II, but further conflicts led to the Glorious Revolution and a constitutional monarchy with William and Mary.
