In nearly every way that matters, historical European countries was the laboratory in which the world you now reside in was conceived and tested. And you'll be living with the consequences for the others of your life. These 48 lectures lead you through the entrances of that laboratory and show you through the development of European countries from the later DARK AGES through the eve of World Warfare II. Since you follow Teacher Bartlett through the remarkable story of European history, you'll learn about the major ideologies and "isms" that bubbled forth from Europe's constantly fermenting cauldron of issue and conflict, including absolutism, scientism, rationalism, capitalism, nationalism, liberalism, and totalitarianism. You'll research the makes that intermingled to produce the Industrial Revolution and the accompanying economic and communal upheavals that would, in turn, create so many more. You'll also make sense of the European ideologies of federal government, including the rule of law, the concept of "the consent of the governed," taxation, an unbiased judiciary, and other concepts. You'll explore the new tasks for religious beliefs in European life, from the end of the traditional union of altar and throne to great upheavals including the Protestant Reformation and the Great Schism. And you will witness the progression of the European class system, which influenced the social makes that swirled around it as much as it was influenced by them. Rather than supplying a laundry list of dates, occurrences, and famous individuals, Teacher Bartlett leaves you instead with a knowledge of historical and communal causality. More important: He gives you the opportunity to experience Europe's development from a European perspective.
