This isn't the Europe we thought we knew.

The final voyage of Christopher Columbus was by far his most dangerous, unexpected, exhilarating, and consequential.

Our understanding of rights, of what makes the individual an individual, of how to define a citizen versus a subject, of what states should or should not do, of how labor, politics, and trade would be organized, of the relationship between the church and the state, and of our attachment to the nation all derive from this period (c. 1750-1850).

The Seven Years’ War, also known as the French and Indian War in North America, was fought between 1756 and 1763, and it involved all of Europe’s great powers and many of the so-called middle powers.

Still, the war marked the beginning of the era of British dominance in North America. The war also had profound consequences for indigenous groups in North America.
