Introduction to the History of Modern Europe

Europe has a vast territory, numerous countries, numerous ethnic groups and diverse religions. As the source of Western civilization, it once shaped the spiritual world of Westerners with faith and reason, and also triggered the world upheaval with science and technology.

Since the end of the 15th century, Europe has entered the modern era marked by great geographical discoveries, religious reforms and the rise of nation-states. European sea captains took to the depths of the ocean to revolutionize commerce. European countries intensified the colonial competition, the rise of nation-states, the decline of the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, the outbreak of the glorious Revolution, the popularity of mercantilism, the sound of gunfire in Lexington, the outbreak of the French Revolution, the rapid progress of science and technology, the bourgeoisie on the stage of history...

The famous American historian Carlton Hayes attempted to integrate social and political developments in Europe from the 16th to the early 19th century, using social and economic factors to assist in explaining political facts, so as to help people "understand ourselves, our fellow humans, and the problems and prospects of mankind."
