Stuart Absolutism and the English Civil War
These slides were created to accompany a historical lecture on Stuart England, focusing on the reigns of James I and Charles I as well as the English Civil War and Cromwell's Protectorate.
The Congress of Vienna
The Congress of Vienna met in 1815 to construct an agreement that would lead to stability and peace in post-Napoleonic Europe. Through the leadership of Prince Klemens von Metternich of Austria, Europe was put on a path to a relatively peaceful century. It would be 99 years before Europe would be torn apart by another major war.

Absolutist Prussia
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a lecture on the development of absolutism in Prussia in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Frederick William, the Great Elector, began building an absolutist state in Brandenburg-Prussia after the Thirty Years' War. This state was completed by his grandson, Frederick William I, the "Soldier King" of Prussia. The Fredericks built an absolutist state based on the principle of militarism, creating a military machine that was the envy of all of Europe. Prussia was the 12th largest nation in Europe and had the 4th largest army. Quite a ratio!

The Reign of Terror (French Revolution 1793-1794)
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of a new drug on memory and cognitive function in older adults. The double-blind study involved 100 participants aged 65-80 who were given either the drug or a placebo daily for 6 months. Researchers found that those who received the drug performed significantly better on memory and problem-solving tests at the end of the study compared to those who received the placebo.
Peter the Great: Tsar of Russia
http://www.tomrichey.net
Peter the Great transformed Russia from an Eastern-oriented landlocked nation into a modern, Western-oriented empire. After touring Europe for several months, Peter returned in Russia to reform the military, the civil service, and the Church. His conquests gave Russia access to warm water ports.
The Radicalization of the French Revolution
This installment of my French Revolution Lecture Series focuses on the radicalization of the French Revolution between 1791-1792, starting with the Le Chapelier Law in 1791 and ending with the execution of Louis XVI in January of 1793.
Reform in Britain (1815-1848)
As conditions for the working class worsened in industrialized Britain in the early 19th century, Karl Marx predicted that the British workers would rise up in a violent proletarian revolution. However, this was not to be, as Parliament embraced modest reforms to curb some of the most flagrant economic and social ills facing the nation at the time. Topics Covered include rotten boroughs, the Chartists, and the Corn Laws

The Thirty Years' War
http://www.tomrichey.net
The Thirty Years' War was fought in Europe from 1618-1648. It was the last major religious war in Europe and ended the violence of the Reformation. What started out as a local, religious conflict grew into a continent-wide political conflict over the Balance of Power. The Peace of Westphalia set the stage for the decline of the Holy Roman Empire and the rise of France as the most powerful nation in Western Europe.
The Crisis of the Late Middle Ages
This PowerPoint presentation provides a brief survey of the crises that "plagued" Europe (haha! get it?) during the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, such as the Hundred Years War, the Black Death, peasant revolts, and famine.

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.
Foundations of Absolutism
http://www.tomrichey.net
This PowerPoint presentation was created to assist with an introduction to the rise of royal absolutism in early modern Europe. The bulk of the lecture focuses on the obstacles that monarchs faced when trying to create sovereign, absolutist states.
Northern Renaissance and New Monarchs (AP Euro)
The document discusses two key figures of the Northern Renaissance - Thomas More and Desiderius Erasmus. Thomas More was Henry VIII's chancellor and author of Utopia, advocating for social reform based on Christian principles. Desiderius Erasmus was a Dutch humanist who wrote In Praise of Folly, criticizing the Catholic Church but remaining Catholic himself. He also produced a Greek translation of the New Testament and advocated for vernacular translations.
The French Revolution and Napoleonic Era - AP European History
The French Revolution began in 1789 due to widespread financial problems, poor harvests raising food prices, and resentment of the privileged estates. The Third Estate demanded political representation, leading them to form the National Assembly and take the Tennis Court Oath. In July 1789, the storming of the Bastille marked the start of the Revolution. The National Assembly abolished feudalism and established a constitutional monarchy, though unrest continued. The monarchy was overthrown and Louis XVI was executed in 1793, ushering in the Reign of Terror led by Robespierre. Napoleon later crowned himself emperor and established reforms but was eventually defeated at Waterloo in 1815. The Congress of Vienna redrew the map of Europe
Catherine the great
Catherine the Great was a long-reigning Empress of Russia known for expanding the empire through conquest and diplomacy. She came to power in 1762 following the abdication and assassination of her husband, Peter III. Though she began as a reformer, Catherine grew more conservative over time, giving nobility greater control over serfs while also establishing new schools. She governed during the Golden Age of the Russian Empire and added over 200,000 square miles of territory through victories over the Ottomans and partitioning of Poland.
Revolutions of 1848
The document summarizes the revolutions that occurred across Europe in 1848. Known as the "Springtime of Peoples," the revolutions were sparked by various economic, social, and political tensions in the years leading up to 1848. Revolutions broke out in key areas like France, the German states, Italy, and the Austrian Empire, though they had varying levels of success and most were ultimately crushed by conservative forces. The revolutions failed to achieve long-lasting change and instead strengthened conservative rule across Europe.
Early Middle Ages Overview
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Studies have shown that meditating for just 10-20 minutes per day can have significant positive impacts on both mental and physical health over time.
The Industrial Revolution (AP European History)
The document summarizes key factors that contributed to the Industrial Revolution beginning in Britain in the late 18th century. Natural advantages like rivers for water power, coal deposits, iron ore, and established financial institutions provided early benefits. Inventions like the spinning jenny, water frame, and steam engine accelerated industrialization by increasing productivity. The steam engine then allowed factories to locate anywhere, fueling urbanization. Infrastructure like canals and railroads further improved transport of goods. While some economists warned of limits to growth, technological advances continually increased production capacity outstripping population increases.
English Origins of American Government

The English Restoration and the Glorious Revolution
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers found that lockdowns led to significant short-term reductions in nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter pollution globally as transportation and industrial activities declined substantially. However, the document notes that the improvements in air quality were temporary and pollution levels rose back to pre-pandemic levels as restrictions eased and activity increased again.
Peter the Great
Peter the Great was Tsar of Russia from 1682 to 1725. He introduced Western technologies and institutions to modernize Russia, which met resistance from traditionalists. Peter founded a new capital, St. Petersburg, to symbolize Russia's connection to Europe. He reformed the military, government, and church to increase Russia's power and integrate it into the Western world. Peter's reforms raised debates about Russia's relationship with the West that continued for centuries.
Congress of Vienna
A brief look at the Congress of Vienna's main participants and some vocabulary. This was actually cobbled together from some other presentations I found on the web. My thanks to their creators.
World War I
The PowerPoint presentation is designed to introduce students to World War I. It is intended chiefly for AP European History students.
Tiananmen Square Incident
The document summarizes key events of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 in China. It describes how the death of a former government official sparked student demonstrations for democracy in Beijing. As protests grew, the government condemned them and declared martial law. In early June, troops and tanks moved in to clear Tiananmen Square of protesters, firing randomly into crowds and killing many in the process. Footage showed one man blocking a column of tanks, in an iconic act of defiance later known as "tank man."
L1 yuan shikai
1) Yuan Shikai played a major role in the failure of the early Chinese republic by consolidating power and ruling as a dictator, ignoring the new constitution.
2) Other key reasons for failure included China's lack of democratic political tradition, the selfish interests of local elites, and disunity among progressive forces.
3) The failure led to warlordism dominating China after 1916 and a neglect of reforms, increasing foreign control and inviting further aggression.
Age of Absolutism
Absolute monarchies were dominant in Europe during this time period, with monarchs claiming divine right to rule however they wished without limits to their power. Key absolute rulers mentioned include Philip II of Spain, Louis XIV of France, and Peter the Great of Russia, all of whom centralized authority and modernized their nations. Meanwhile in England, the rise of Parliament gradually curtailed royal power, culminating in the Glorious Revolution that established constitutional monarchy.
Peter the Great (1672-1725)
Peter the Great was a Russian czar from 1682 to 1725 who modernized Russia through widespread reforms. He established Russia as a world power by creating a strong navy and westernizing his army and government. Peter obtained new lands, founded the city of St. Petersburg, and defeated Sweden at the Battle of Poltava, expanding Russian territory. Though a harsh ruler, Peter transformed Russia from a medieval state into a major European empire through cultural, social, and political reforms that established Russia as a modern nation.
Cogito Ergo Sum (Rene Descartes)

The Philosophes (Enlightenment Thinkers)
During the Age of Enlightenment, the "philosophes" (French for philosopher) championed enlightened values of empiricism, freedom, science, reason, progress, and religious toleration. The Philosophes hailed from several European nations, such as France (Voltaire, Diderot, Montesquieu, Rousseau), Prussia (Kant), Scotland (Smith), and the United States (Jefferson, Franklin, Paine).
This PowerPoint presentation was designed to accompany a lecture on the Enlightenment for courses in Western Civilization, World History, and European History.

The Stadtholders were initially "placeholders" for rulers of the Netherlands, but evolved into rebel leaders and eventually republican heads of state.
Mercantilism: The Economics of Absolutism
Mercantilism was an economic system - popular in early modern Europe - that measured national wealth by the accumulation of precious metals through a favorable balance of trade. In order to accumulate bullion, architects of mercantilist economic systems focused on building self-sufficient economies that limited the need for imports. One of the most famous mercantilists was Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louis XIV's Minister of Finances.

Martin Luther's Doctrines (Protestant Reformation)
http://www.tomrichey.net
Martin Luther began the Reformation with his 95 Theses, which laid the groundwork for his doctrines of Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, and Sola Gratia. Luther's theology of justification through faith alone conflicted with Catholic teachings about salvation, which emphasize the role of the free human will cooperating with God and confirming a saving faith through good works.
The English Reformation
http://www.tomrichey.net
This PowerPoint was designed to accompany a lecture on the history of the English Reformation. The English Reformation began with a controversy over Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon. In order to ensure an orderly succession (and to marry the much more attractive Anne Boleyn), Henry steered the Act of Supremacy through Parliament, which declared him to be the Supreme Head of the Church of England. While Henry dissolved the monasteries and established the Anglican Church as separate from Rome, he made no major changes to Catholic doctrine (which he had defended in the early days of the Reformation).
Following Henry's death, England went through religious tumult during the short reigns of his more aggressively Protestant son, Edward VI, and his even more aggressively Catholic daughter, Mary I (aka, "Bloody Mary"). It took Elizabeth I's 44 year reign to establish England as a Protestant kingdom.

Mannerism (Late Renaissance Art)
After the end of the High Renaissance in the 1520s, Renaissance art continued to evolve as artists challenged the classical conventions of grace, symmetry, and proportion. The style of Mannerism emerged in the mid-sixteenth century with elongated figures that were painted to inspire a sense of grandeur and emotion rather than striving after ideal beauty.
The Mannerist style of painting can be best seen in Michelangelo's later works and in the works of Parmigianino and El Greco.
George Washington's Foreign Policy
As the French Revolution began to shake the foundations of Europe, George Washington found himself stuck between the Federalists, who wanted to strengthen economic ties with Britain, and the Jeffersonians, who wanted to the United States to express solidarity with her sister republic in France. Caught between two extremes, Washington chose the middle path of neutrality. The Citizen Genet affair and the unpopular Jay treaty presented challenges to Washington's administration, while Pinckney's Treaty settled boundary and navigation disputes with Spain.

The Golden Age of Latin Literature
The Golden Age of Latin Literature spanned from the time of Cicero to the death of Augustus. The Golden Age is divided into two periods: Ciceronian and Augustan. Writers of the Ciceronian period included Cicero (its namesake), Julius Caesar, and Catullus. Writers of the Augustan period included Livy, Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. Livy's History of Rome remains the most authoritative work on the earliest history of Rome. Virgil and Horace were both supported by Augustus, as these writers were very supportive of him in appreciation for his patronage. Ovid, whose poetry did not align as well with Augustus' civic goals, found himself exiled to Tomis on the Black Sea, where he spent the last decade of his life in sorrow.
The Road to Civil War (1850-1860)
This PowerPoint presentation is designed to cover a lecture on the events leading to the American Civil War between the Compromise of 1850 and the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. It includes the controversies surrounding the strenghtened Fugitive Slave Law, the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, the Brooks-Sumner incident, Nativism, the Dred Scott decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Brown's Harpers Ferry raid, and the election of Abraham Lincoln.
Ancient Israel (Division and Diaspora)
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a lecture on the division of ancient Israel into two kingdoms (Israel and Judah) and the subsequent conquest of these kingdoms by the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Empires. The fall of Israel and Judah resulted in a diaspora (scattering) of peoples across the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. After Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered the Babylonian Empire, he allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple. In the centuries that followed, a messianic tradition developed, which promised a deliverer who would restore the Kingdom of Judah. Zionism emerged in the late 19th century with a similar goal of restoring a sovereign Jewish homeland. The modern nation of Israel, founded in 1948, represents the realization of the goals of the Zionist movement. To this day, modern Israelis contest over this land with its neighbors much like their ancestors did three thousand years ago.
The Whiskey Rebellion
The Whiskey Rebellion was an uprising of Western Pennsylvania farmers between 1791-1794 in response to Alexander Hamilton's excise tax on whiskey. A federal militia was organized in 1794 to put down the rebellion. When the rebels dispersed without a single shot being fired, Hamilton and the Federalists hailed it as a victory for the newly formed federal government created by the United States Constitution.
Principles of the Constitution
The United States Constitution provides three supports for limited government: federalism, separation of powers, and the Bill of Rights.
Legacies of the American Revolution
How revolutionary was the American Revolution? Historians generally classify the American Revolution as more of a political revolution than a social revolution, but there were some very important changes in American society following the Revolution that should not be overlooked. The ideals of the American Revolution were rooted in classical republicanism and egalitarian values, which can be seen in the prohibition of titles of nobility, the gradual emancipation of slaves in the North, and in laws guaranteeing religious liberty. While women did not gain the ability to vote after the Revolution, the ideal of republican motherhood necessitated a greater role for women in the education of their children. More than anyone else, George Washington embodied the republican ideals of the American Revolution, as seen in is commitment to agriculture, civic duty, and republican simplicity.
The American Enlightenment
This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a US History lecture on the American Enlightenment and its influence on American Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Paine.
The Virginia Colony
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The Rise of Hitler
This PowerPoint slide presentation was created to accompany an academic lecture on Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany. Included in this lecture are factors leading to Hitler's radicalization and anti-Semitism as well as the key events on his road to power in Germany, including his leadership in the National Socialist German Workers Party, the Beer Hall Putsch, the publication of Mein Kampf, the Great Depression, the Reichstag Fire Decree, and the Enabling Act.

The French Revolution of 1789
An introduction of events leading the French Revolution of 1789, beginning with a discussion of the Old Regime and ending with the Women's March on Versailles
Mitt Romney's Trump Speech: A Modern Philippic
On Thursday, Mitt Romney delivered a scathing speech against Donald Trump, the current frontrunner for the GOP nomination. This speech was a philippic, closely following the format of the great Athenian orator, Demosthenes, who delivered three speeches in a vain attempt to rally his fellow Athenians against Philip II of Macedon. Cicero, the great Roman statesman and orator, used the same type of rhetoric in his fourteen philippics against Marcus Antonius in the final days of the Roman Republic.
Using historical synthesis, I argue that Mitt Romney's philippic won't be a decisive factor in the fight for the GOP nomination.
Copernicus and Galileo: A Scientific Revolution
These slides were designed to accompany a lecture on Copernicus and Galileo and their contributions to the development of heliocentric theory during the Scientific Revolution.
Trump and Hitler Compared
Godwin's Law states, "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." Lately, no internet discussion about Donald Trump can be complete without at least one reference to Hitler. I've been asked by several people to evaluate these comparisons, so I designed these slides to accompany a recent lecture comparing Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler, noting similarities, differences, and nuances.

The Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise was the result of the first debate in Congress concerning the spread of slavery, occurring in 1819-1820. When Missouri applied for admission into the Union, many in Congress objected to Missouri's admission as a slave state, supporting the Tallmadge Amendment that would have made gradual emancipation a condition for admission. When the Senate and the House could not agree on whether to pass the bill with or without the Tallmadge Amendment (the slave states had more influence in the Senate), Henry Clay proposed a compromise that brought Missouri into the Union as a slave state on the condition that Maine also be brought in as a free state and that all territories in the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36˚30 parallel be closed to slavery.
While many congratulated Henry Clay on a job well done, Thomas Jefferson worried greatly from his retirement at Monticello. He believed that the Missouri debate would only be the first of several debates regarding slavery and its expansion. While an opponent of the idea of slavery in the abstract, he did not see a path toward a practical end of slavery in the immediate future. With Jefferson's predictions coming true and the period between 1820-1860 being filled with debates concerning slavery, historians have often placed the Missouri Compromise at the beginning of the Antebellum (Before the War) Period.
