AP European History Unit 3: Absolutism and Constitutionalism

After the religious wars, European states pursued two divergent state-building models: continental absolutism (Bourbon France, Hohenzollern Prussia, Habsburg Austria, Romanov Russia) versus English constitutionalism (the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, Whig parliamentary supremacy). Eight lessons compare the two trajectories through the long seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
