Discusses milestones in the geopolitics of the seventeenth century--from the Thirty Years' War to the War of the League of Augsburg; from the European arrival in Australia to the establishment of the Louisiana Colony. Also addresses key social developments in daily life: the practice of birth control; the popularization of New World imports such as tobacco, coffee, and chocolate; the establishment of Tokyo's Floating World district; the ineradicable devastation of the Middle Passage and African American slavery.
