Nonono! There's Sauerkraut, Rotkraut, Blaukraut, Krautsalat, Krautfleckerl...“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324) -
Probably because telegraph/wireless era actually made it possible for actions to be directly and instantaneously linked to each other, no matter what their distance.

Exactly, THAT was the first definite world war.Originally posted by Adam Smith
Here's something I still don't get:
Why do we call 1914-1918 World War I, when the Seven Years War was effectively fought all over the world? Eg., North America, Carribean, Europe, Egypt (?), India. Doesn't that pretty much cover it?Comment

It wasn't called the First World War at the time, or until after the Second World War. It was called the Great War.Comment

My European History class used "A History of the Modern World" by Palmer & Colton. Like the 9th edition or something (It was originally published in the 50's, explaining the odd choice of title for a European History text). Pretty classic text, from what I understand. Good, though.All syllogisms have three parts.
Therefore this is not a syllogism.Comment

"The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers" by Paul Kennedy (or something akin to that). Covers their evolution pretty much from the 15th/16th century to now.
If you like economics perhaps you'll like it...I only got halfway through it before getting a bit bored though.DULCE BELLUM INEXPERTISComment

That's a good book. I enjoyed reading it though it got a bit dry at the end. Up until the end of WW2 though wasOriginally posted by JCG

This is a pretty good site: http://www.fsmitha.com/index.html
Covers world history in some 130 articles, organized by both time period and geographic region. Very comprehensive and detailed (for a website, at least), without becoming an unreadable encyclopedia. Includes lots of neat maps and a fairly detailed timeline (but only up to 1100). The site is still updated with new articles from time to time (mostly from the 18th-19th century at the moment).
Just select the European articles for the time period you need
In this case, some 15 articles from 1500-1900 and another 20ish from the 20th century (but those latter are probably too detailed for what you need)...

Thanks for help, 'Poly!
And to clarify, this is not a result of me slacking off or not paying attention, or anything like that. History is of great interest to me, I wouldn't slack off. I am just having to compile a 'timeline' of European History, and just wanted a little help in coming up with dates and events.Comment
