Louis XIV ruled France from 1643 until his death in 1715. He consolidated power and reformed France's government and taxation system during his early reign. Louis engaged in numerous wars throughout Europe to expand French territory, though this eventually led to hostility from other nations. By the 1680s, Louis faced open opposition both for his aggressive foreign policy and revocation of rights for French Protestants. His costly wars left France financially devastated by the time of his death.

Under absolutism in the 1600-1700s, several European powers centralized control around powerful monarchs. France emerged as the strongest nation under kings like Louis XIV, who believed "I am the state" and weakened nobles and Protestants to assert royal authority.

In the 15th century, Spain and Portugal divided territories they had rediscovered in the Americas between them. Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492 and arrived in the Americas, encountering three major indigenous tribes: the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas. The Spanish later fought wars against these tribes to gain control over their lands and establish colonies. Major cities of these civilizations included Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) of the Aztecs, sites of the advanced Mayan writing system, and Machu Picchu of the largest Inca Empire. Spain went on to form institutions to control its new American colonies from Sevilla and defend its territories against other European powers.

Agricultural revolutionMuhammad Younis

The 15th century farming system involved an open field system with cooperative plowing and a balanced distribution of land. The enclosure movement of the 18th century led to each landowner receiving a single property, removing common lands. This benefited large landowners who could farm more efficiently without village consent, but hurt small landowners who could no longer glean or gather wood and were forced off their land. The agricultural revolution introduced new technologies like the seed drill and horse-drawn plow that increased production. Scientific advances also boosted yields, such as crop rotation and selective breeding of hardier livestock. These changes led to a population boom as food became cheaper and more abundant.

The Glorious Revolution occurred in 1688-1689 in the British Isles and involved English, Welsh, and Scottish society. It was sparked by King James II issuing declarations that suspended penal laws and allowed freedom of religion without the consent of Parliament, violating the increasingly held belief that the monarch's power was limited.

However, some scholars believe the nation state system is disappearing as states can no longer fully protect citizens due to modern weapons.

Imperialism Power PointMichael Payne

��

Imperialism is very similar to colonialism, with one major difference: colonial powers settle the countries of which they gain control, while imperial powers do not. The term “imperialism” does not seem to exist prior to the 1800s. Nineteenth-century imperialism was spurred in large part by the Industrial Revolution. The development of new industrial economies in the 1700s and 1800s necessitated the acquisition of raw materials and the desire to gain control of marketplaces; thus, by the mid-1800s, imperialistic actions of strong nations (most notably European nations) started to become policy. 1 Definition is from America: Pathways to the Present (New Jersey: Pearson Prentice Hall, 2005, p. 981).

1. The document discusses how economies transition between sectors of agriculture, industry, and services as they develop. Poorer nations rely on agriculture and resources, middle income nations have industry, and wealthier nations are service-based. 2. It describes how nations progress by undergoing agricultural and industrial revolutions to change how agriculture and industry function. This involves adopting new technologies and practices like mechanization, crop rotation, and selective breeding. 3. The agricultural revolution saw a shift from many small subsistence farms to fewer large commercial farms using new equipment and techniques to dramatically increase food production. This allowed more people to leave farming and work in other sectors.

Colonialism and imperialismJuan Carlos Ocaña

��

Imperialism and colonialism involved the conquest and rule of other lands and peoples. From 1870 onward, European powers aggressively expanded their colonial empires, driven by economic, political, and ideological motives. They sought raw materials, markets, and national prestige. By the late 19th century, most of Africa and Asia was under European control as a result of the "scramble for Africa" and colonial expansion in Asia. The consequences of imperialism were mixed, providing some benefits but also economic exploitation and loss of culture for colonized peoples. Colonial expansion also increased tensions between European powers.
