1. Renaissance +Reformation
200 years of Renaissance + Reformation has brought about earth-shaking changes in Europe. The Renaissance liberated people's lovesickness, and the Reformation moved away the obstacles of reality. After the Renaissance, Europeans became energetic, paving the way for the later Great Navigation and the scientific revolution.
The Reformation was not aimed at God, but God’s agent in the world---the church. This was a very long process, during which many countries also experienced internal struggles between the new and old religions (the Huguenot War in France for nearly 50 years); from 1618 to 1648, the new and old religions were divided into two factions and fought fiercely. The final result is that the church's forces retreated behind the scenes and no longer dared to compete with secular rulers openly.
2. The rise of Britain and France ended in 1453. Although Britain lost its territory in France, it established an independent English nation and completely got rid of the relationship with France that was not cleared and still chaotic. By chance, it became the earliest Protestant country, and sent the king to the guillotine, building the most advanced political system at that time-- constitutional monarchy . The British first realized that religion was just a nonsense, and national interests were the most important, so the British were always able to formulate their own national policies from the perspective of national interests and gain national interests from various wars. They defeated Spain and the Netherlands, and became the empire after the Seven Years War in 1756.5-1763.
3. The rise and fall of Habsburg family
1506 The Shenlo Habsburg family entered Spain by marriage, and a powerful force that controlled 1/3 of the European continent was born. 1529. In 1532, he defeated the invasion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire under the city of Vienna and became the protector of the world of Christ.
1588 Gravoliner Naval Battle , Spanish Invincible Armada was defeated by Britain, and the Habsburg family began to decline. During the 30-year religious war between 1618 and 1648, Shinra fought against Denmark, Sweden, , and France one after another, and was finally defeated and lost a large amount of territory. During the Spanish throne succession war from 1701 to 1714, European countries prevented the re-merger of Shinra and Spain. In this way, the first Habsburg family that could unify Europe was completely destroyed, and Shinra and Spain also became second-rate countries.
4. World War IX - 7 Years War
After the Great Northern War (1700-1721) between the war of succession to the Spanish throne (1700-1721), Russia rose; after the War of Succession to the Austrian throne from 1740-1748, Prussian rose. In this way, there will be five leading figures in Europe, Britain, France, Prussia, Shenluo and Russia.
1756.5-1763 During the Seven Years' War, the three strongest Prussian bloody warfare, Shenluo and Russia were only provided financial assistance to them. Britain took the opportunity to steal France's large colonies in North America, Africa and India and became an empire that never sets.
