The Enlightenment: A Crash Course In European History #18
This playlist consists of 51 videos all about European History. Teachers can use these videos to support their lesson plans and engage students. These videos each cover specific topics and concepts learned in European History classes. The playlist is an excellent resource for students to review or study for a test or final. By the end of this playlist, students will be able to explain the context of historical events in Europe and identify the chronological order of those events on a broader scale.
So far in this series, we've covered a lot of war, disease, climate disaster, and some more war. Well, prepare yourself for something a little more positive. This week, we're talking about the Enlightenment. In this video, you'll learn about the ideas of Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, Kant, Smith, Hume, and a bunch of other people whose ideas have been so impactful, they still influence the way we think about the world today.
