Intro to part 4
Strayer starts off the introduction to part four by saying how historians were able to see various present-day modernization characteristics during the early modern ear. This would suggest traits such as globalization and the social rank of the Europeans in correspondence to world affairs.
Globalization and the power Europeans had played hand in hand. Strayer mentions their oceanic presence which is a huge part of globalization because Europeans were able to spread throughout the globe via voyaging and therefore were also able to conquer various land. Having this power also connected them to trading opportunities such as the Global Silver Trade.
Religion was also immensely important to Europeans, however, they were also able to spread that religion thus making the presence of Christianity that much more important.
Something else Strayer mentions was how Eurasia experienced setbacks such as the Black Death and Mongol Wars however these setbacks later contributed to the population growth.
Lastly, in the introduction of part four, they talk about how Europeans did have power in various ways (conquering America and being able to dominate via sea travel) but they were also limited in a lot of ways such as their presence in Asia and Africa.
