491-497

This is an introduction to chapters 17 and 18 which are within the time periods of 1750-1914. They call this period the long nineteenth century. The themes that will be explained during this time period is the new kind of society called modernism and the exercise of more power. Why was this period called the long nineteenth century? And why and how is Europe always the center? This section was pretty short and I dont really know what to write about. I really like the pictures and the timeline. I like how it is getting more present day history. It makes it more interesting for me to learn.
