From Feudalism to Industrialization in Europe

Europe basically speed-ran the transition from feudal farming to industrial nightmares in just a few centuries.

It started when the Renaissance made everyone obsessed with human potential instead of just

religion. Then Martin Luther broke the Church, and explorers connected the globe,

usually by force. Kings like Louis XIV tried to be absolute bosses, but the Enlightenment

thinkers started using logic to question everything. That led to the French Revolution,

where they literally chopped the monarchy’s head off. By the time the Industrial Revolution

hit, society had totally shifted from praying in fields to grinding in factories,

setting up the chaotic modern world we know.
