HIST 321 - Atlantic Revolution of the 17th & 18th Centuries

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

History

Description:

Between 1600 and 1815, the Atlantic world experienced a series of changes that each had long-lasting implications for the people of the early modern world. This course covers not only the political upheavals in the Netherlands, England, the American colonies, and France, but also the intellectual changes of the Scientific Revolution and the socio-economic transformations of the Industrial Revolution. All of these movements have traditionally been classified as Revolutions, but this course questions the abruptness of the changes and instead emphasizes their evolutionary aspects. None of the events can be seen in isolation, so we will explore how the multi-layered movements affected economic-, religious-, and political life on both sides of the Atlantic.
