Absolutism & Enlightenment Readings & Checkpoints

Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.

Rise of Parliament in England

From the 1400s into the 1700s, absolutism was on the rise in Spain, France, Russia, Prussia, and Austria. But in England, conflict over the English monarch’s powers led to civil war and revolution.

The Enlightenment

While much of Europe was moving toward absolute monarchy, the triumph of Parliament sent England down a different path. The Scientific Revolution, too, helped change the course of political thought in Europe. Thinkers began to believe that the natural laws that controlled the universe might also explain human behavior. Scholars used reason and natural laws to study culture and society. This period is known as the Enlightenment.

Absolutism in Europe

Under King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, Spain had become a modern European power. Later rulers helped spread Spanish power from Europe to Asia and the Americas. By the next century, however, France under King Louis XIV had replaced Spain as Europe’s most powerful nation.

By the mid-1600s, years of conflict and disorder had weakened central and Eastern Europe. But powerful new rulers took control of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. They greatly expanded their territory and introduced new policies to strengthen their control.
