This period in Europe was marked with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britian in 1750. The growing use of machinery allowed for massive economic development in Europe as well as
technological advances that would put it at the head of the world for the next
few centuries. Additionally, political revolutions would rise at this time,
questioning the authority of monarchies and demanding democracy and human
rights. One such famous example is the French Revolution of 1789 that deposed the king
and led to his decapitation. More revolts would occur in the Revolutions of 1848, creating further political
turmoil in Europe.
