| Summary/Abstract |
Explains how Europeans began to take over the world, with their trading posts and how this century brought a tragic mixture of wars, revolution and devastation, as well as enormous growth and progress in the sciences and arts to Europe. On the other hand, the Americas were being impacted by British and French settlers occuping the east coast of North Amreica, and the Spanish having taken over Central and South America.
