Welcome to AP European History. This course surveys European history from the Renaissance (about 1450) to the present. From now until your May AP exam, you will learn Europe's political, economic, religious, social, intellectual, and artistic history. Although this course is limited in its worldview (Europe, as opposed to the whole world), we will understand how Europe's evolution impacted the development of Asia, Africa, and the "New World," and the implications this has had on the modern world.
We will study European History in four time periods:
1450 ("the Renaissance" though it truly starts much earlier) to 1648, the Peace of Westphalia and the end of the Thirty Years' War
1648 to 1815, the end of the Napoleonic Wars
1815 to 1914, the beginning of World War I
1914 to 2001 and beyond (we will discuss the "economic debacle" of 2008 and some more modern historical developments)
