About This Novel
Europe is a vast territory with numerous countries, numerous ethnic groups and diverse religions. As the source of Western civilization, it has shaped the spiritual world of Westerners with faith and rationality, and has also caused drastic changes in the world with technology. Since the end of the 15th century, Europe has entered modern times, marked by the geographical discovery, religious reform, and the rise of nation-states. European captains sailed into the depths of the ocean, launching a commercial revolution. Colonial competition among European countries intensified, nation-states emerged one after another, the authority of the Roman Catholic Church declined, the Glorious Revolution broke out, mercantilism became popular, the guns rang out in Lexington in the United States, the French Revolution broke out, science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and the bourgeoisie entered the stage of history... Carlton Hayes, a well-known American historian, tried to organically combine the social and political development of Europe from the 16th century to the early 19th century, using social and economic factors to assist in explaining political facts, thereby helping people "understand ourselves, our kind, and the various problems and prospects of mankind."
