Unit Description
“The period between the death of Louis XIV and the outbreak of the French Revolution (in 1789) was one of almost constant warfare between the Powers of Europe. At first glance the wars seem a mere continuation of the dreary struggles of the preceding period, caused by the period desire of certain states to increase their territories, and of others to maintain the Balance of Power. France continued to decline in power, and Prussia and Russia to rise in the European scale. One great European state, Poland, totally disappeared as a result of the unscrupulous attacks of its neighbors. But the area of the struggles was now widened…”
“We must now consider more in detail the struggles of England and France in this period, amid which was founded the British Empire…” – Samuel Bannister Harding

- He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. — Ephesians 1:9-10
- God raises up and removes leaders.
- He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning..- Daniel 2:21
