17th and 18th centuries (Enlightenment) in Europe and America; the Industrial Revolution
and its impact on politics and culture; the global influences of European ideologies;

wars, the Cold War; the struggle for women’s rights and changing gender roles; independence
movements and the breakdown of colonialism and genocide.
