The Early Modern World (1400-1800)

The early modern world beings in the late fifteenth century, Europeans engaged in a vigorous period of state building.  The result was the creation of independent monarchies in western and central Europe that formed the basis of a new European state system.  These European states then began to expand into the rest of the world.

Also during this period, the two great new Islamic empires, the Ottomans in Turkey and the Safavids in Persia, arose in Southwest Asia.  As third Islamic Empire--The Mogul Empire--unified the subcontinent of India.  Least affected by the European expansion were the societies of East Asia: China and Japan
