Among other topics, this volume deals with France under Louis XIV; the Stuart Restoration and the Glorious Revolution in England; the Anglo-Dutch wars, the War of the Spanish Succession, and the Great Turkish War; Russia, Scandinavian kingdoms and the Great Northern War; the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia; the European colonies; and European literature, religion, and sciences of the time.
