INTRODUCTION
For many historians, the history of modern Europe begins when the ideas of
enlightenment began to germinate, culminating in the collapse of monarchies
throughout the European continent. New ideas about how a nation should be governed
resulted in the disintegration of the Ancient Régime of the Bourbons in France.
From France, these ideas spread all over the continent. In the 18th and 19th century,
Europe was to witness many revolutions, both social and political; these revolutions
formed the foundation of the modern world as we know it and changed the lives of
workers, peasants, aristocrats, the middle class, women and minorities living in
European countries. However, modern European history was also witness to many
tragedies. Wars were fought that killed more people than in any other point in history.
China and Japan, two important countries in South-East Asia, were also
witnessing changes with the arrival of imperial powers. Although they were once
great ancient civilisations, the rise of Europe and the West resulted in the decline
and regression of the great civilisations of Asia. By the nineteenth century, this
decline had resulted in most Asian civilisations becoming essentially puppet states of
western imperial powers. China and Japan were no different. However, by the time
the 19th century ended, great churnings had taken place in China and Japan that
would constitute the first steps to their re-emergence on the world stage. In this
book, History of Europe and World 1760 AD to 1871 AD, you will learn in detail
about the changes that took place in Europe and Japan and China in the 18th and 19th
century.
