The beginning of modern Europe was a time of confusion, excitement, suspicion, hope, despair, and ideas. It was a time of a lot of change spread out over just a few hundred years, but the end result was a completely different world than the one that had come before it.

The book includes details of the transition from the Middle Ages to the early modern era, where Europe saw significant shifts across the continent in phases. The years following the 30 Years War until the 1800s are treated as a transition between the early and current modern eras. The unrest that started at the end of the Middle Ages exploded following the Thirty Years’ War, and it marked the change to many of the thought processes widely accepted as true today.

Now I see why the drug laws in most east Asian countries are so strict. It makes complete sense, given the history. The use of drugs to weaken "enemies" was not limited to China. Certain "undesirable" communities in the U.S. were also poisoned with drugs, which caused a decades-long war on drugs, the destruction of already vulnerable communities, mass incarceration, architectural blight, high rates of unemployment, and generations of single-parent households.

Can you do a video of the Sioux (Oceti Sakowin)? The ones that defeated Lt. Col. Custer and his brothers??

I am a relatively new subscriber and enjoy your videos but I notice that you have avoided doing videos on ancient sub-sahara Africa. There were several: The Kingdom of Kush who conquered Egypt; The Mali and Songhai as well as others. Do you have any plans on covering these?

Peasant in 1800 worked 16h per day and died quickly. While in 1500 he had more work life balance I assume. Anyone knows?

Question? Did the lives of the average citizen in America change after the revolution. (I am guessing it didn't improve.)

[t.xaviersalgado]

[MoiLiberty]

You need this to understand why Enlightenment and Age of reason is the secular god that failed.

Columbus ok, but Portugal come first ok!, no mistakes

So it started in 1500. Duh. In High School my text book was titled “Modern History.” It began at 1500. Essentially the same in college. Modern History begins at about 1500. The early years start then. Sheesh.
