Western Civilization II
Western Civilization traces its roots from Greek antiquity to the present day. Through the Roman Empire, into the rise of Western Christendom, Europe emerged from the Middle Ages to the transforming eras of the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment to the present day norm of democracy. Philosophical thought, artistic expression, political influences, and scientific and technological advancements spread from the West to produce the dominant cultures of the world.
