Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Uses animated maps, artwork, and live photography to outline the movements and conditions that prepared Europe for modernity. Examines the revolution in men's thinking; Martin Luther's protestations against the Roman Catholic Church; the exploration of the oceans and the discovery of the New World; new conflicts in Spain, England, and France, and the Thirty Years War; and how the extravagance of Louis XIV and a succession of bad harvests pushed France's war-weakened society to the brink of revolution.
