The document summarizes key aspects of Eastern and Western Christendom between 500-1300 CE. It discusses how the Byzantine Empire built upon Roman traditions while diverging in religion and governance. Eastern Orthodoxy differed from Catholicism in allowing marriage of clergy and recognizing the authority of the patriarch of Constantinople. The Byzantine Empire engaged in trade and spread its culture, influencing Kievan Rus. Western Europe fragmented after the fall of Rome, adopting feudalism and experiencing economic and population changes between 1000-1300 CE. The Crusades had cultural and political impacts on Europe and the Near East. Borrowing of knowledge from other civilizations supported advances in Western Europe.

The Seven Years War
The Seven Years War was a global conflict between 1756 and 1763 that involved most of the great powers of the time. It began with a struggle between Prussia and Austria over the province of Silesia, leading to a diplomatic revolution where old alliances broke down and new ones formed. Britain and Prussia allied against France, Austria, Russia, and Sweden. Though Frederick the Great of Prussia initially achieved success on the continent, the tide turned against Prussia and Britain's victories in North America and India helped secure an eventual peace favorable to their interests with territorial gains.
Lesson 5 Old Regime and the Enlightenment
The document discusses the Enlightenment period and 18th century society in France. It describes how the Enlightenment emphasized reason over faith and rejected emotion, the supernatural, and myth. It also discusses the class structure of 18th century French society, including aristocrats, the middling order, and peasants. It provides details on education, birth, and lifestyle improvements for children during this period.
Ancien regime i
The Ancien Regime was the social, political, and economic system that existed in Europe prior to the French Revolution. It was characterized by [1] a low-growth agrarian economy with a rigid social hierarchy, [2] absolute monarchies that centralized power, and [3] the estates system that divided society into privileged and unprivileged groups. In contrast, England developed a parliamentary monarchy that limited the king's power through institutions like the Magna Carta and Bill of Rights, establishing a model of governance that later influenced revolutionary ideas.
Imperialism meaw
Imperialism began in the 19th century and continued into the 20th century as powerful nations like the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the US extended their rule over other countries and built large empires. Key figures who advanced imperialism included Cecil Rhodes, Theodore Roosevelt, and William McKinley. Significant events supporting imperialism were World War I and World War II, during which European empires grew their armies and resources by conquering colonies. While imperialism spread technology and fueled industrialization, it also exploited resources and peoples, denying rights to colonized nations.
The Scientific Revolution V2007
1) Prior to the Scientific Revolution, most Europeans believed in the geocentric model that the Earth was at the center of the universe.
2) Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and Newton helped establish the heliocentric model through observations, experiments, and mathematical laws.
3) The Scientific Revolution established the modern scientific method and fundamentally changed how people understood the universe.
Authoritarian monarchies ( the birth of modern state
European monarchs in the 15th century consolidated power by reducing the influence of nobility, the church, municipalities, and parliaments, which led to serious confrontations and civil wars. The monarchs implemented centralized administration, bureaucracy, professional armies paid directly by the monarch, taxes to fund activities, and diplomacy to maintain relations with other countries. This established permanent authoritarian monarchies with royal courts governing from a single, settled city rather than traveling as in the Middle Ages.
Ancien regime ii
The 18th century saw the transformation of the basic structures of the Ancien Régime in Europe. One of the main developments was the Enlightenment, a change in thinking supported by intellectuals who criticized the traditions and superstitions of the past. Enlightenment thinkers promoted the use of reason and believed in natural rights like liberty, equality and property rights. Their ideas began to spread through salons and the publication of the Encyclopaedia. Some European monarchs adopted these ideas to become "Enlightened despots," combining absolute rule with Enlightenment reforms to modernize their nations through centralized governments and Enlightened ministers and advisors.
The Seven Years War
The French and Indian War was a bloody conflict between 1754-1763 over territorial claims in North America between the British and French, with their respective colonial militias and Native American alliances. Though the French initially had success, the tide turned when the British began adapting strategies for frontier warfare and gained more Native American support. The war culminated in a pivotal 1759 British victory at Quebec under General Wolfe that effectively ended French control of Canada. As a result of their defeat, the French ceded nearly all of their North American lands to the British in the 1763 Treaty of Paris. While ending direct French influence, the war strained British-Native American relations and further soured the relationship between the British colonies and the crown
Imperialism
Late 19th century European states expanded their imperial control over other regions and peoples through increasing political and economic dominance. Motivations included acquiring raw materials, new markets, and strategic locations. Technological advantages in transportation, military equipment, and communications facilitated the Scramble for Africa and colonization of Asia, Oceania, and parts of the Americas. Over time, colonized peoples increasingly resisted imperial rule, with movements like the Indian National Congress demanding more self-governance and eventually independence.
THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE ANCIENT REGIME
The document provides an overview of 18th century European society, economy, politics, and culture. It describes the stratified social structure consisting of privileged and non-privileged estates. The privileged estates such as nobility and clergy had special rights and did not have to work, while the non-privileged estates like peasants and bourgeoisie worked and paid taxes. Absolute monarchy grew stronger during this period, though England established a parliamentary monarchy. The Enlightenment era saw new ideas challenging traditional religious authority and justifying more rational and representative forms of government.

Ancien regime
The Ancient Regime was the social, political, and economic system that existed in Europe before the French Revolution during the Early Modern Age. It was characterized by a primarily agrarian economy with a feudal system of land ownership. The population grew slowly due to high mortality rates. The economy was based on subsistence farming, craft industries with little machinery, and triangular trade of slaves, raw materials, and manufactured goods between Africa, America, and Europe. In the 18th century, Enlightenment thinkers like Locke, Montesquieu, Voltaire, and Rousseau spread liberal ideas that questioned the Ancient Regime and influenced the French Revolution.
English activities, unit 1, The Ancien Regime
This document provides information about the Ancien Regime in Europe during the 18th century. It defines key terms like the Enlightenment, mercantilism, and absolutism. It describes the rising middle class called the bourgeoisie and the economic system of mercantilism used by monarchs. Enlightenment thinkers promoted the use of reason over tradition and sought more individual liberties and rights. The document matches thinkers like Voltaire and Montesquieu to their ideas and reforms proposed. It also provides information about the Bourbon dynasty that ruled Spain during this period.
Scientific revolution lesson ppt
1) The Scientific Revolution developed during the Renaissance as scientists began questioning traditional beliefs about the natural world that were based on Aristotle and the Bible.
2) Scientists like Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton challenged the geocentric model of the universe and developed the heliocentric model through observations and experiments.
3) Their work established the foundations of the modern scientific method of using experimentation and evidence rather than past authorities to understand the natural world.
Imperialism
Imperialism refers to the policy of extending a nation's authority over foreign territories or people. It has historically been used to justify acquiring lands and asserting political and economic dominance. There are varying degrees of imperialism from direct colonial rule to weaker forms like neo-colonialism. Motives for imperialism include economic gains, prestige, security, and surplus population adjustment. While it provided some benefits like development, imperialism is ultimately seen as inherently exploitative, undemocratic, and a violation of human rights. Decolonization movements have succeeded in dismantling some traditional forms of imperialism and colonial rule.
French Revolution
The French Revolution began on July 14, 1789 when protesters stormed the Bastille prison in Paris. This marked the start of widespread civil unrest against the absolute monarchy of King Louis XVI. Inequality, high taxes on the poor, and a financial crisis contributed to growing discontent with the existing social and political system. The Revolution led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy and a declaration of rights that embraced principles of liberty, equality and popular sovereignty. However, internal divisions and war with other European nations led to increased radicalization and the rise of Maximilien Robespierre's Jacobin dictatorship during the Reign of Terror from 1793-1794. The Revolution transformed France from an absolute monarchy to a
The Russian Revolution
The document summarizes the key events leading up to the Russian Revolution in 1917. It describes how pre-revolutionary Russia was an autocratic state without democratic institutions. Russia's defeat in the 1904 Russo-Japanese War and 1905 Revolution increased instability. Lenin advocated for a revolutionary vanguard to modernize Russia. World War I further weakened Russia and led to food shortages and riots in 1917, causing Czar Nicholas II to abdicate in March. Vladimir Lenin returned from exile and gained support for the Bolshevik's radical socialist ideology. In November, the Bolsheviks led by Lenin and Trotsky seized power in the October Revolution, establishing Soviet Russia and one-party communist rule.
The Controversial Peace: 1919
The document discusses the Treaty of Versailles signed in 1919 that ended World War 1. It outlines what each of the main Allied powers - France, Britain, Italy, and the United States - wanted from the treaty. It also discusses Germany's reaction to being presented the harsh terms without participation. Key points included France wanting security and revenge, Britain a balanced approach, reparations, territorial changes that reduced Germany significantly, and widespread anger in Germany at being presented a "dictated peace".

Taming the City
The Industrial Revolution and rapid population growth in cities led to overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions that contributed to the spread of disease. Edwin Chadwick influenced reforms through his argument that disease was caused by poverty, not laziness, and that clearing filth from cities could reduce disease. This led to the 1848 Public Health Act and adoption of new sanitation methods across Europe. Louis Pasteur's germ theory breakthrough established that diseases were caused by microbes rather than bad odors, allowing disease control through vaccines and sterilization techniques developed by Robert Koch, Joseph Lister and others.
The Emerging Political Spectrum 1815-1848
The document outlines the emerging political spectrum in Europe between 1815-1848. Republicans supported a constitutional republic with universal male suffrage and were willing to endorse violent revolution. Liberals favored a limited constitutional monarchy with representative government and guaranteed civil rights. Conservatives wanted to maintain the traditional political system with aristocracy in leadership positions.
The Concert of Europe and the Conservative Political Order
The document discusses the Concert of Europe and the conservative order established after the Napoleonic Wars. Key figures like Metternich, the Austrian foreign minister, sought to maintain peace and suppress revolutionary ideas emerging in Germany and elsewhere. The Great Powers issued declarations supporting conservative principles and repression of dissent. Throughout the 1810s and 1820s, various decrees and laws cracked down on radicals and imposed censorship. The goal was to prevent the spread of revolutionary philosophies and protect the existing political order in Europe.
The Congress of Vienna
The Congress of Vienna from 1814 to 1815 aimed to redraw the political map of Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. Key goals included reducing France's power by returning its borders to 1792 lines, restoring monarchies that Napoleon had replaced, and establishing a new balance of power through territorial concessions that strengthened Austria, Prussia, Russia and other states. The Congress made numerous decisions that reshaped borders and transferred lands, seeking to prevent future conflicts through this reorganization of Europe.
England in the 17th Century
1) In 1603, James VI of Scotland succeeded Queen Elizabeth I to the English throne, uniting the kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland under one ruler for the first time.
2) During the 17th century, England experienced religious and political turmoil that resulted in the English Civil War between the Royalists and Parliamentarians from 1642-1649.
3) The war ended in a Parliamentarian victory, with King Charles I being defeated and eventually executed in 1649, replacing the monarchy with the English Commonwealth headed by Oliver Cromwell.
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.
The New Monarchs
The document discusses the characteristics and development of new monarchies in early modern Europe. It outlines six key characteristics of these new monarchies: 1) They offered monarchy as a guarantee of law and order, 2) They proclaimed hereditary monarchy as the legitimate form of public power, 3) They enlisted support from the middle class against feudal nobles, 4) They required new levels of organization and taxation to generate consistent funds, 5) They sought to break down feudal laws and apply law more uniformly through royal courts, and 6) They began employing bureaucracy to assist in implementing royal authority. The document then provides brief overviews of the consolidation of power under the Tudors in England, the Valois dynasty in France
The Enlightenment
The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement of the late 17th and 18th centuries that promoted reason, science, and progress. Key figures like Locke, Voltaire, and Kant used reason to question traditions and argue that knowledge comes from experience. Some monarchs, seeking to reform their nations, embraced Enlightenment ideals in a movement called "Enlightened Absolutism." However, reforms varied in success and degree of liberalism.
Scientific Revolution Overview
The Scientific Revolution between the 16th and 17th centuries profoundly changed Europeans' worldview. Key figures like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton applied mathematics and experimentation to develop scientific theories like heliocentrism and the laws of motion and gravity, undermining the geocentric Aristotelian view. This emphasized empirical evidence over religious authority and established individual intellect over collective wisdom, laying the foundations for the Enlightenment.
Renaissance Humanism
The document discusses several key aspects of Renaissance Humanism:
1) It promoted individualism, worldliness, learning, and a focus on antiquity and reform.
2) Several pieces of art are mentioned that exemplify Renaissance humanist ideals, including works by Raphael, Massys, da Vinci, Durer, and Brueghel.
3) Several documents from historical figures are summarized, including writings by Pico, Petrarch, Shakespeare, Erasmus, More, Vives, Columbus, Rabelais, that discuss humanist concepts of man's dignity, learning from history and philosophy, and skepticism of established institutions.
