Modern European History Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Modern European History America 'has come to realize how ignorant she has been of Euro pean history and of European conditions and how heavily that ignorance has cost her. Not only her citizens but also her official leaders, high and low, have frequently revealed, during the appalling crises of the last five years, a lamentable and dangerous lack of comprehension of things vital to their own welfare and to the welfare of the world. As a nation we have successfully muddled through the great entanglement of our times, but it is not safe for nations, any more than for individuals, to muddle, since the issue may not always be happy, and is at any rate always purchased at too high a price. It ought to be clear even to the blind, after the events of the past five years, that the destinies of America and Europe are not dis connected but are inextricably intertwined and will remain so. Whether we like it or not makes no difference with the situation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Modern and Contemporary European History The Protestant Revolution had broken up the religious monopoly of the Catholic Church, but it had by no means established religious equality, or even tolera The System tion. Indeed, Protestant theologians like Luther, of national Calvin, Knox, and Cranmer were as insistent on Churches conformity to the established religion as their Catholic opponents. The fundamental principle of the Protestant Revolution was religious independence rather than religious freedom, the idea that every nation had the right to estab lish its own type of Christianity. One World, one F aith, had been the demand of the Catholic. In the warfare of creeds in the seventeenth century, the futility of this ideal became apparent, and a new principle, one Nation, one F aith, took its place. But as the nation had not yet attained any adequate means of self-expression, the mon arch and the governing class were generally able to force upon it their own form of religion. Hence it came about that the religion of the king became by law the religion of the people, and official churches were organized to preach it. This is how we get the system of established churches.
