WORLD BEFORE 18TH CENTURY
Understanding of the events before 18th century is important to understand the later developments. The dawn of 18th Century was characterized by:
- End of Feudalism in England (Feudalism ended much later in rest of Europe).
- Increase in the number of towns and cities.
- Increase in trade.
- Transition to a money-based economy from land-based economy of Feudalism.
- Rise of Merchant classes and Absolute Monarchs (*England had Democracy and after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, there was supremacy of Parliament instead of Monarchy).
- Decline in power of the Catholic Church.
- Mercantile Capitalism.
- British-French rivalry at its zenith.
1.2. Why Feudalism developed?
Feudalism developed due to lack of a single central political authority in Western Europe as it had disintegrated into many small and big kingdoms. In such a system the local Lords became more powerful than the King and controlled the affairs of the society.
1.3. Features of Feudalism
The economy in the Feudal system was village-based and the villages were self sufficient. There was a decline in towns as well as trade during this period. Land, not money, was the main source of power.
