Band 1 in One Entry: Absolutism and Constitutionalism, 1648 to 1715

Captions available

The idea

Units 01 to 03: Louis XIV's France as Europe's model and its bankrupt; the Dutch Republic and the English Revolution, where absolutism failed and the state grew stronger; and the three absolutisms built on serfdom, Prussia, Austria and Peter's westernized Russia.

In practice

Seven to nine percent: the Dutch, the English, Louis, Austria, Prussia, Russia.
