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.
