This course explores some of the most important ideas and events to emerge from Europe between 1700 and 1900.

This course will consider the emergence of capitalism, the scientific revolution and the Enlightenment, and political ideologies including conservatism, liberalism and socialism. It draws on topics from A Brief History of the World Parts 2 and 3, so members who have done these courses have already covered the material.
