Argumentation Part II: Proving Your Point in Early Modern Europe

Argumentation Part II: Proving Your Point in Early Modern Europe

Ready to take your AP Euro skills to the next level? In this follow-up to our argumentation deep dive, Mr. Bruns shows you how to actually apply historical argumentation to some of the most important developments in early modern Europe.

From the rise of commercial and agricultural capitalism to the persistence of medieval traditions, we break down how to build strong, evidence-based claims that score big on the AP exam. You’ll explore how growing cities like London and Amsterdam created both opportunity and tension, why the family remained the backbone of society, and how popular culture—from festivals to witch hunts—both reinforced and challenged social norms.

We also tackle the big political question of the era: why some states centralized power under rulers like Louis XIV, while others—like England after the English Civil War—took a different path.

Along the way, Mr. Bruns connects these historical patterns to today’s world, showing how issues like urban stress, economic change, and political power struggles are far from new—they’re cyclical.

If you want to move beyond memorization and start thinking like a historian, this episode is for you.
