2. Concept formation STEP #4
Read each of the 4 examples and fill out the chart
* EACH OF THESE IS AN EXAMPLE OF OUR CONCEPT
Complete the “Concept Formation Notes”
* ONLY THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
Use the critical attributes to create a definition for our concept.
* “This is a concept where…” or “This concept is…”
4. Examples and Non-Examples
*Read through “List of Examples”
*For each example decide if it IS or IS NOT an example of Absolutism & EXPLAIN
*If NOT an example, what attributes are missing?

3. Some things to hang on to…both physically and mentally
Map of Europe—this is a modern look…but the areas still relate, even if not a perfect match to the time.
Monarch Chart—Who’s Who in the Zoo. Lots of families, lots of names, lots of Roman numerals…it can get confusing. This is to help you keep them all straight!
Roman numerals…
Roman Numeral
Number I 1 V 5 X 10 L 50 C
100 D
500 M
1000
A string of letters means that their values should be added together.
For example,
XXX = = 30, and LXI = = 61.
If a smaller value is placed before a larger one, we subtract instead of adding.
For instance, IV = = 4.
Louis XIV? Louis XV? Louis XVI?
Louis 14th Louis 15th Louis 16th

4. Let’s look at more in-depth examples
Mswati III, King of Swaziland

6. Europe torn apart by religious conflict following the Reformation(s)

7. Religious strife
In France more than 10,000 Protestants killed following the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre in 1572 (we’ll talk about this again…)
Spain fought bloody wars against Protestants in the Netherlands in the late 1500s.
Thousands died in the Catholic Counter-reformation—many at the hand of the Inquisition(s)
Thirty Years War ( ), a bloody Catholic-Protestant fight for control of Germany and central Europe.

8. BALANCE OF POWER

9. A power vacuum…Why? DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS (DROK)
-Black Plague and Wars weaken feudal lords
-Renaissance weakens the power of the Catholic Church
-Age of Exploration makes kings rich
-Absolute Power is hereditary
DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS (DROK)
The belief that kings get their power
From God, not the people
-Jean Bodin: Only absolutism could provide order and force people to obey authority

10. Age of Absolutism *England – The Tudors *France – The Bourbons
-Age of Exploration = 5 powerful countries/families (3 Gs)
*England – The Tudors
*France – The Bourbons
*Spain – The Hapsburgs
*Prussia – The Hohenzollerns
*Russia – The Romanovs
-Large Standing armies = Balance of Power in Europe
*No more feudal armies
“The absolute and perpetual power of a Republic”
Centralized Government
Central governments evolved into nation-states
with strict boundaries
with unified role
with permanent armies
Citizens shared:
language
colture
national loyalty
religion (sometimes)
