By 1500 CE major states

and empires had developed

in various regions of the

world. New intellectual and

artistic ideas that developed

during the Renaissance

marked the beginning of the

modern world. Regional

trade patterns had

developed that linked

Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Europe which fostered the exchange of technological and scientific

advancements among cultures of the world.

For centuries, the Roman Catholic Church had little competition in religious thought and action; the

resistance of the church to change led to the Protestant Reformation, which resulted in the birth of new

political and economic institutions. The Reformation had its roots in theology, but it led to important

economic and political changes. Religious differences and hatreds caused war and destruction. At first

the Reformation divided the countries of Europe on religious principles, leading to religious intolerance.

Power in most European states was concentrated in the monarch. Gradually religious toleration

emerged, along with democratic thought.
