Economic Decline

LACK OF STRONG LEADERSHIP The successors of Philip II were far less able leaders

ECONOMIC PROBLEMS Costly overseas wars drained wealth out of Spain

almost as fast as it came in. Treasure from the Americas led Spain to neglect

farming and commerce. The expulsion of Muslims and Jews from Spain

deprived the economy of many skilled artisans and merchants.

American gold and silver led to soaring inflation.

In the 1600s, Spanish power and prosperity slowly declined.

Rebuilding France

From the 1560s to the 1590s, religious wars between Huguenots (French Protestants) and the Catholic majority tore France apart.

To protect Protestants, Henry IV issued the Edict of Nantes, which granted Huguenots religious toleration and let them fortify their own towns and cities.

Henry then set out to heal the shattered land. Under Henry, the government reached into every aspect of French life.

By building the royal bureaucracy and reducing the power of the nobility, Henry laid the foundations for royal absolutism.

Peter the Great

Peter the Great was committed to a policy of westernization in Russia. However, persuading Russians to change their way of life proved difficult. To impose his will, Peter became the most autocratic of Europe’s absolute monarchs. During his reign he:

forced the boyars, or landowning nobles, to serve the state. imported western technology and culture. insisted that the boyars shave their beards and wear western- style clothing. used autocratic methods to push through social and economic reforms. imposed policies which caused the spread of serfdom. brought all Russian institutions under his control.

Expansion Under Peter

Peter created the largest standing army in Europe and set out to extend Russian borders to the west and south.

Peter unsuccessfully fought the Ottomans in an attempt to gain a warm-water port for Russia.

Peter engaged in a long war with Sweden, and eventually won land along the Baltic Sea. On land won from Sweden, Peter built a magnificent new capital city, St. Petersburg.

Peter signed a treaty with Qing China which recognized Russia’s right to lands north of Manchuria.

Peter hired a navigator to explore what became known as the Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska.
