READ THIS FIRST:
Some students said in the class they have not studied Modern History on the past form, even if it enters in the present curriculum. If this is your case, you will find EXTREMELY USEFUL this post in order to take some base towards our subject this year. As far is it quite hard to understand the 18th Century without a minimal knowledge about the events in the 17th, I urge you to watch this presentation, videos and contents previously than our book in 4th E.S.O.
In this link you have a good presentation about the Unit 0 from our book, focused to the XVIIth Century in Europe, the Hispanic Monarchy and the colonies.
Here you are the final scene of the Spanish movie "Alatriste", based upon the novels of Arturo Pérez Reverte. This scene is placed on the Battle of Rocroi (1,643), the first defeat of the Spanish Tercios. This battle decided the sign of the Thirty Years War (1,618-48), when Spain lost the European hegemony in favour of France.
2/3 of this presentation, after the main contents in demography, economy and politics, are focused about the History of art, with many examples from the Baroque in architecture, sculpture and painting throughout Spain and Europe.
On the other hand, the previous presentation ignores the English Revolution (actually, at least two different social and political processes) in the XVII th Century. You can learn something about these facts here and here. As usual, all these materials are simple supports to the contents present in our book and explained in the class.
