Dive into AP European History Unit 3 with AP History Help as we explore the epic clash between Absolutism and Constitutionalism from 1648-1815!

This episode unpacks the profound impact of the Commercial Revolution and the devastating Wars of Religion (including the Thirty Years' War) on state-building in early modern Europe. Discover how monarchs like Louis XIV epitomized absolute power with divine right at Versailles, while England forged a different path through the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution, culminating in the English Bill of Rights (1689).

We'll also examine the unique Dutch Golden Age and the crucial concept of the Balance of Power that defined European international relations.

Featuring a dramatic "Princes in the Tower" fun fact, this is your essential guide to understanding the political, economic, and social forces that shaped modern European states.

Perfect for AP Euro students mastering Unit 3 content on power, profit, and piety!
