Complete control over the economy, a strong army, appeasement to the nobility, and help for the commoners. Creation of “court culture” and Versailles. Religious toleration in the name of a strong state. 2.Absolutism Abroad a.Columbian Exchange dominated by the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and later the French and English. Exchange of goods and cultural diffusion. “Mercantilism” becomes the name of the game (France’s Jean Baptiste Colbert and England’s “Navigation Acts”). Increased army and naval size.

34. Absolutism’s “Main Themes” 3.Eastern Absolutism a.Peter the Great’s “Western” reforms (everything but the serfs). “Enlightened” legacy continued by Catherine the Great. Frederick the Great in Prussia, Joseph the II and Maria Theresa in Austria (education, religious toleration, rewording of civil code; everything but serfdom abolition as it’ll anger the nobility) 4.Constitutional Monarchies in England and Holland a.England’s Civil War over Parliamentary power and King’s desire. Cavaliers and Roundheads. Rump Parliament. “Glorious Revolution” and the “Bill of Rights” achieved in the 1680s and 1690s. Dutch “maritime republic” seen in strong colonial ties. Very wealthy, very privileged. Controlled by “stadholders” and made strong with alliances.
