The first European country with democratic idea(l)s was France. During the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799 the values "liberte" ((personal) freedom), "egalite" (equality) and "fraternite" (brotherhood) were the leading ideals in French society. Back then monarchy was brought to its fall and a new, democratic government was built. Unfortunately, one of the revolutions leaders, Robespierre, saw the only solution to bring the revolution to success in executing any possible "enemy" of it during his Reign of Terror. In the end, he was executed himself, the revolution failed, France ended up in monarchy again. The main problem was the extreme poverty among the people, the poor hoped through the revolution there would be less hunger and poverty, because the noblemen were killed and their properties taken, but with time passing they had to face the fact that they cannot make bread out of blood (I hope you know what I mean?)\nThe U.S.A. was the first country to successfully adopt the democratic ideals of the French Revolution and that, by the way, is the reason why France gave the Statue of Liberty with the torch of enlightenment to the U.S., the same torch is located in Paris as wyell. I hope I could help you a little... sorry for my English, I hope I used the right historical terms (I translated them literally from the German terms I know)

The 16th century is for Spain the "Golden Century", as the Spanish Empire was growing (Americas) and the country was rich thanks to America's gold and silver. Certainly the first power in Europe at the time, as Spain was ruling the Low Countries (Holland and Belgium now), +/- half of Italy, Austria (which means present Austria, Czech Republic, part of Hungary and Yugoslavia), parts of present France.\n\nHave a look at wikipedia, link below:

It was the Elizabethan Age, the reign of Elizabeth I.  The explorations by the English began then, and the difficulties with Spain and the defeat of its Armada occured then.  There was a good deal of artistic fourishing, and also an increase in commerce and trade, and the usual political/religious bickering.  That was as far as England goes, but all of Europe was similarly in more or less the same phase of opening up to new worlds and new combinations of power and politics and economic growth.

If you want to read about how Asia was ruled under European Imperialism (the period of when most of Asia was under the control through colonization by Europeans) visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperialism_in_Asia and you will get most if not all of your answers.\n\nGood Luck!!!

okay, trust me, if you're too lazy to write a paragraph, then AP european history is not for you. and it shouldn't be a hard thing to do. just BS your way through it. "i feel like i could learn a lot, regular classes don't challenge me enough, i'm really interested in the renaissance, blah, blah, blah." no one's will actually be sincere. if you care enough about school to want to be in the class, i'm sure you can do it.

Go (or call) to your local library.  Ask them if they have any information.  Some libraries have a local history room that might have that information.\n\nGood luck in your search.

Europe is a continent sweetheart. The best way to do it is to make sentances for each like We'll get a Paris of them in France, or I don't want to each Brussels sprouts in Belguim. A lot of foods are named after European cities so you can add a food to a lot. For hard ones like Madrid or Lisbon try to make them into words that sound like them. I think you'll find it helps unless you're a list person and then make flash cards. Use those to study and they'll burn in your brain.

The Congress of Vienna met because of Napoleon...there was a long period of peace within Europe after that.  European countries were able to concentrate on internal affairs rather than the international ones, which would cause the revolutions in Greece/Germany or reforms in England.

Go us, both taking the Euro test in three days! I've been skimming through my book and going over the notes we've taken throughout the year. As long as I have a decent grasp on a lot of major things (what this battle was about and who won it, blah blah blah) I hope I'll be fine.\n\nGood luck to you!

This sounds too much like someone's homework!\n\nThe period is far to wide to narrow down any of the categories you want info in.  Perhaps you should actually look it up in some books - you know, actually do some research!

My most educated guess is that it was Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in the 1930's. There was no opposition to the event by the other European countries.

This may help you:\nhttp://www.zum.de/whkmla/histatlas/europe/eu1550large.GIF\n\nThat is a map of Europe from 1550.  That lists 32 different divisions.  That is not an exact number though, it may depend on the exact year and what exactly you are considering to be "Europe."

best bet is to look toward something on the Europe and it's colonies in Africa, I believe what the essay is direct toward is how the European countries dived up Africa for their own interest without taking into account the  need of the locals or tribes, \n\nHence leaving a legacy of dived people which is the cause of the in fighting currently\n\nOr the greed for oil or diamond's
