Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the period from 1745 to 1845, a time of great change and advancement. The author asserts that in no other century did the world progress so rapidly as in these 100 years. The American Revolution and French Revolution stand out as major political movements. Britain was forced to recognize the independence of its American colonies and lost power relative to other European nations. The author notes that France's own revolution transitioned from a struggle against perceived tyranny to a bloody reign of terror under a new, self-appointed elite. In contrast to France, the American revolutionaries were remarkably moral, religious, and committed to liberty as a principle. Other major themes of this era include an intellectual revolution triggered by influential philosophers, leading to both atheism and new ideas about liberty and human rights. The author also discusses the Industrial Revolution and its transformative effects, giving rise to new wealth and new social classes. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the main events and intellectual and political movements that shaped the last 100 years, as seen through the lens of a 19th-century American, making it a valuable resource for understanding this dynamic period.
