Synopsis

A sweeping, authoritative account of Europe’s revolutions from the mid‑15th to the 18th century.

This translation of Christophe W. Koch’s history covers the origins of modern states, great political shifts, and the ideas that reshaped Europe, from the take‑up of print and paper to the global reshaping of power.

This volume traces how Renaissance culture, navigational advances, and new systems of government changed Europe’s face. It blends political history with social and intellectual currents, showing how exploration, trade, and conflict redrew maps—while treaties and dynastic rivalries redefined sovereignty and empire.

• How the revival of learning and the arts helped Europe shed late‑antique forms of rule.
• The rise of modern nation‑states and the dynastic struggles that followed, including major European treaties.
• The global context of discovery, colonization, and the transfer of power across continents.
• Key campaigns, wars, and political shifts that shaped early modern Europe.

Ideal for readers of classic European history who want a dense, narrative timeline of upheavals, ideas, and statecraft across centuries.
