The second millennium opened a new era of European ascendancy. For 300 years, as a result of climate changes,Northern Europeans improved agriculture and lived longer, and a new middle class revived cities as centers of commerce and culture. Then came the apocalypse: a little ice age and the Black Death shaped the material conditions of life for the next five centuries. After 50 percent of Europeans died (1340-50), famine and epidemic kept the population in check until the 1700s. Yet we associate this period with the invention of the printing press and the rise of literacy; with the Renaissance, the Reformation and counter-Reformations, the Enlightenment, and great advances in science; with sociopolitical developments that modernized the Netherlands, England, and France; and with the creation of a global empire. How to explain the continued ascendancy of Europe in such hard times? To understand the paradoxical making of Europe, students examine primary sources and modern historical analyses.
