Early Modern Europe delves into an often overlooked period of European history, the time between the end of the Middle Ages and the French Revolution.
-
We will go over the significant events of this period, starting with social life, the invention of the printing press, and the spread of the Renaissance out of Italy and the forms it took across the Alps.
-
We then delve into how this led to the Reformation, first in Germany with Luther, and then in Switzerland with Zwingli and Calvin. We visit Tudor England under Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I and the English Reformation. The Catholic Church responds with the Counter Reformation and stunning Baroque Art styles emerge.
-
The Reformation leads into a series of Wars of Religion from the mid 1500s to mid 1600s. We go over the wars in France, the Spanish wars against the Dutch, the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in the British Isles, and finally the devastating Thirty Years War. There are also parts about social and economic change, focusing on the rise of mercantilism and the Witch Hunts.
-
This leads into the Age of Absolutism, marked by the reign of Louis XIV in France in the late 1600s. We go over 3 of his wars, with a focus on the War of Spanish Succession.
-
We end with a brief look at the new European powers of the 1700s, the Prussians, Austrians, and Russians.
-
It is the 2nd episode of our Early Modern series, which goes over the history of the world from roughly 1500 to 1800. The 1st episode dealt with the Age of Discovery.

Welcome to Early Modern series of the World History Summarized project! The entire project is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, the project is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. This series "the Early Modern" takes place after our megadocumentaries "The Ancient World" and "The Medieval World". It will be divided into 5 videos about the Early Modern period (c. 1500 - 1800) all over the world, and will be called Phase 3. Once these 5 videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 4 of the project, but this series will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 5 parts.
