europes rise to global dominan


             Although the Thirty Year's War ended, war was still present in Europe to early modern times as the independent states competed for power. In order to keep one state from gaining excessive control within Europe, the diplomatic principal of a balance of power was implemented. If one state began to gain control, other states would form coalitions to maintain this balance of power.
             The competition of the states allowed for the European society to be strengthened as a whole. As the states competed they sought to develop more advanced military systems. Europe soon developed far greater military tactics than any other region. European gun manufactories produced canons of better range and accuracy. In other region the need for these advances were not necessary due to the lack of competition from within, but in Europe lack of military advances would lead to the decline of a states power. Europe by the 17th century could outperform all others with their superior military tactics and sophisticated weaponry. Their military capabilities would be a key factor in foreseeing Europe to be the next to rise to global dominance.
             The 17th century was a time of great religious and cultural change in Europe, and this change would be crucial for globalization. Western Europe saw a transformation from middle-age thinking and theories to a new understanding based on natural observation and mathematics. Religious beliefs of the past were being questioned leading to the formation of new religious practices. The most influential would be that of the protestant reformation due to Martin Luther's criticism of the Roman Catholic Church. Martin questioned the churches selling of indulgences as a pardon for their sins. Luther soon acquired many followers and the Protestant religion was formed. John Calvin was also very important in the religious reforms in Europe due to the protestant communities he established in France.
