Reflection:
In part 5 of the introduction Strayer goes into talking about hoe Europe received continental status during the time. It goes onto talking about how Europe rose by international context...this means, for example, because the Chinese fleet left Europe got the opportunity to take over the Indian Ocean. Strayer goes into explaining that it was not an easy task for Europe to become what it is now. It took a lot of work and progress to get to country it is.
In Chapter 17, Strayer goes over how the Atlantic Revolution came from European Enlightenment. From this it was shared to others through newspapers, books, and pamphlets. During this time new ideas, free trade, religious tolerance, human rationality, and much more were being opened up. From this the Atlantic movement was being known as democratic revolution to people. To me this era/time was when countries were being advanced and more opened to new things. This was also the time when countries were competing with one another and many battles were fought. From these battles, countries' politics were changed and countries becoming more powerful. This part of history showed to me a turning point for countries and time where regions/countries were trying to find place/stability/secure.
