Growth of European States
(I don't know if this is included but here's a short introduction to it. )
It was when King Louis XVI was still the king of France. He failed to fulfil his promise to the people, that's why the France had the French Revolution. Later on, the Legislative Assembly decided to suspend the king from his position, and should be imprisoned, and then sentenced to death.
This started the progress of European countries. Just because the carelessness of a king postponed the rise of these European countries.
The Rise of Europe
Basically, the Rise of Europe started when colonialism started. The trade of materials started in the Atlantic ports. Colonialism really showcased the changes that has transpired through the Western Countries, shown at the Architectural features it made. We can recall the different types of Architecture in the Pre-Colonial Era. They borrowed ideas from one another and just modified it more. This was a crucial part of Europe because this was also the time where their economy was rising because the trades from other countries; attracted the high classes to demand to protect their properties. In this era, ownership also was born. Everyone was naming their lots and houses which leads to Capitalism (my blog), but that's a different story already.
