The spirit and pace of innovation continued to increase both in gradual intervals, and in rapid movements. This course will pay special attention to several hinges of rapid transformation in the period, including the rise of Old and New World Empires, the European Renaissance, Western Enlightenment, and Atlantic Age of Revolution. Included is a broad Atlantic focus with state-building and human rights emphases. [Note: This is a General Education course at the UCM campus, with the prefix of HIST 2401.]
