Laura Aitken-Burt, Robert Peal and Robert Selth Series editor: Robert Peal Knowing History Book 2 covers the Early Modern period, when expanding empires and new technologies accelerated global change. Civilisations equipped with gunpowder were able to increase their power across the globe with terrifying speed. New ideas and religions spread at an unprecedented pace, thanks to the printing press. The world was transformed by contact and conflict between Europe and the Americas, the empires of the Ottomans and Mughals thrived, while Edo Japan spent two centuries largely cut off from the rest of the world. In Renaissance Europe, intellectual explorers celebrated the past, reviving the cultures of Ancient Greece and Rome for a new age. In studying these dramatic changes, you will have a front row seat in the unveiling of the modern world. What’s on the cover: A golden disc representing Inti, the Inca sun god. You can find out more about the Inca Empire in Unit 7.
